That's not a "gotcha" moment like you seem to think though. If I say the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo is "the fastest car", it would be correct, because over a varied test (Nürburgring for example) that looks at more than just straight line speed, it is. Despite a Veyron or whatever technically being "faster" to 60 mph on a drag strip or whatever.And that's exactly why the opening statement is inaccurate.
If I could go back a year, I wouldn't upgrade to the 7800X3D. Sure, it's fast, and I love its modest power consumption, but the 7700X isn't so much worse for me to feel it in my day-to-day, especially with a mid-range GPU.
Arguing with this point when you don't even have the chip in question, or intend to ever buy it, or even have the use case for it (and in fact have the chip you're arguing is faster, the Veyron/7800X3D) just makes you seem like a fanboy looking at technicalities.
It's a ~40-50 W chip running at 82°C under one of the best air coolers in existence. That's hot. Try to at least understand what people are meaning instead of constantly being defensive, it's tedious.It's not hot. Mine runs at 82 °C max under a be quiet! Dark Rock 4. Other than that, every CPU is a compromise. With the X3D, you compromise clock speeds, memory clocks, OC, etc... But you also compromise with the 14900KS, there's thermal problems, power consumption, platform and PSU costs, etc. Everything is a compromise one way or another - this is my point!![]()
