AM5 and Ryzen 7000 News

AMD has been acting pretty strangely in the recent months. Being unsure about CPU release dates, even going as far as removing the mention of overclocking for X3D chips. And now they forgot to release GPU drivers for their 6000 series (released it after the drivers for 7000 series). I mean, either things are rough, or AMD has started their villain arc? Idk.
 
I'm more interested to see how the 7800x3D fairs. The 5800x3D itself blew all competition out of the water in the most CPU intensive games. Perhaps the 78x3D will do that AND have good multicore score.

7800X3D will have slightly lower or similar multicore performance than 7700X. Gaming results are expected to be bit better as it doesn't have 2 CCDs - one with extra cache, other without it. Hardware Unboxed did a simulated 7800X3D using their 7950X3D. IMO for gamers, no point going beyond 7800X3D, no requirement for heavy investment in cooling like 13900K needs.

I saw that simulated test. If the real CPU performs similarly, I am super tempted to jump from 12th gen to 7800x3D instead of upgrading to 13th.
Heck even the 5800x3D is perfect for my use case lol

You'll be jumping from 60 FPS (assuming you have the lowest end i5 12400 in this graph) to 160, it is more than 2 times but will you enjoy the game more since you are already at 60 which is very playable?

If only I got a constant 60...the game is so old and unoptimized that single core performance is the bottleneck currently. Multi threading is promised, but not yet available.

But point taken, the 13600 will be a cheaper upgrade.
