AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D Beats Ryzen 7 9700X "Zen 5" at Gaming
With German retailer Mindfactory.de listing the Ryzen 5 7600X3D, European hardware reviewers are beginning to put the chip through its paces on their Socket AM5 test beds still warm from last month's Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" launch coverage. PCGH is among the first such reviewers, and has an interesting set of findings. The biggest question everyone is looking to be answered is "how does it game?" and here PCGH has some good news. The processor is very fast at gaming, and in fact beats the 8-core Ryzen 7 9700X "Zen 5" chip in gaming benchmarks, ending up 6% faster than when averaged across the games in PCGH's test suite. It's also about 9% slower than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which remains the reigning champion.
Being faster than the 9700X also means that the Ryzen 5 7600X3D is faster than every other Ryzen 9000 series processor launched till date, including the flagship Ryzen 9 9950X. The 7600X3D is a whopping 11% faster than the 9950X at gaming. When compared to Intel contemporaries, the 7600X3D ends up about 1% slower than the Core i5-13600K, and 2% slower than the newer i5-14600K. These were the two chips the 7600X3D was sent to beat at gaming, so crowds are drawn to the Ryzen 5 series, and the chip ends up falling a touch short. A lot will depend on whether AMD gives the 7600X3D a wider launch, and what its street price ends up being. Find the complete PCGH review of the Ryzen 5 7600X3D in the source link below.

CaseKing is much, much smaller, and I doubt that they even sell many CPUs in general. However, you sadly seem to be right about their customer support. :shadedshu: Not shipping to mail forwarders, etc. seems to be about fraud prevention, while not shipping into other countries looks like cost-cutting to me.
MediaMarkt stores are available across Europe, and NBB.com also ships to most EU countries, but both companies are much pricier and their reputation for customer support isn't really that great either. I guess there is still hope that the Zen5 X3Ds will be clocked a bit higher.
I’d also assume 1080p but I couldn’t find resolution anywhere….
Looking at Amazon's pricing at the moment $339 (7900X) vs $500 (7950X). That's $161 one could put toward GPU.
The jump from 7700x $276 vs. $339 is only $63 for comparison.
As far as I can remember this kind of premium has always been between 12 vs. 16 core AMD parts and to make things worse you get 1 good chiplet and one less good chiplet.
Now on the other hand 7900X3D (at $450) vs. 7950x is only $50 making that jump is some what reasonable if you need the cores with another $50 jump on top of that for 7950X3D. This makes 7900X a really good deal at $339.
So now that I have come full circle 7900X3D at $450 doesn't seem worth it but $400 or below it can be a deal if you use your PC for both work and gaming.

If you don't want to play games or run half the software, then that's a killer deal.
It only has a factory set PPT of 88 Watts....
I think it is the 7600 CCD with the added 3D V-Cache, which means that this might be full up CPU and not blem's. Now I wonder how the over clock is and how low you can get it under Volt. :rolleyes:
A machine for work will be separate from the gaming machine if I earn income from it. Stability is king no overclocked ram will be using ECC, just not worth risking it for something that helps pay the bills!
1. X3D for PC Gaming (and Mining)
2. Regular X and non X chips for Computing
3. G Chips for IGPU use.
They have even separated these chips in terms of architecture level so the difference in different applications can be expected. I guess this is the promise of chiplets realized. Maybe reviews need to change when it comes to AMD vs AMD.
