AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Accounts for Almost 90% of "Zen 5" Sales, Rest of 9000 Series in Trouble

[Neo_Morpheus]

As I said before? AMD really shouldn't be releasing anything but X3D CPU's at this point, they are great CPU's, the rest is just a waste of sand. People want an all-round solution that kicks ass, why is this so hard to understand?

Thats is simply wrong.

x3d brings little to no advantage over non x3d on many commercial/pro programs, so these people would be paying more for zero gains.

This is what a fumbled launch does.

The 9950X is better than the 7950X, and the 9700X is better than the 7700X - both at very similar prices. The problem is that the 7000-series got good launch reviews, whilst the 9000-series got bad launch reviews.

It doesn't matter that the 9000-series has newer, excellent reviews after the BIOS updates and windows patches, Search engines favour the more popular launch-day reviews which were fumbled by AMD.

As usual, lets blame only AMD, instead of the influencers that refused to double check why Zen 5 under Linux was running properly but not in windows.

Gamers really think they are the center of the universe and these companies should only cater to them.

They are so detached from reality that they think they should be upgrading the same parts every year just to run benchmarks and gloat about to their friends, instead of really needing those new parts for more realistic reasons.

It's total stupidity, 9700x will give the same performance in 99% of use cases and much cheaper.

People on the latest platforms aren't using 1080p or less, it's down right unusable when you've used 1440p, 4k or higher for any period of time...

So going to be GPU bottlenecked and 3d cpu then useless!

Intel says they don't want a repeat of Pentium 4

They moved quite a bit beyond net burst, current pipelines are gigantic compared to netburst's 20 ish stages and the athlon's 10.
Current cores are behemoths that very little software is capable of utilizing fully.

They need to make a simple core that can go fast and keep going fast.

Well, if you want the best, the 9800X3D it's exactly that

I would argue that the 9700X doesn't make any sense right now because you can get a 7900 for the same price, at least on my country

The 7900 might be one of the best choices right now on AM5

No surprise here.
90% of people that are buying new CPUs are doing so for gaming purposes.
As proven, gamers are 90% of the PC ecosystem, the rest 10% are professional media creators, designers, engineers, and the rest that are not brainwashed to use an Apple Mac thinking that somehow those are better for those kind of things than a PC.

The 9700X at $300 and 9900X at $400 are a much better value than 9800X3D at $480. Yea the X3D is 10-15% ahead in gaming, but not in anything else.

Maybe for Zen 6 AMD will build more L3$ into their base CPUs so X3D is less of a jump in gaming. Also the 7800X3D blows away the 9800X3D in perf/watt so there is room for improvement there too.

At 4k it's 1-2% better. Even a regular 6 core is only 2% behind. It doesn't look like L3 cache does much at 4k. And this is with a 4090, which 99% don't have. It's probably dead even for an average person.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Review - The Best Gaming Processor

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D establishes AMD as the leader in gaming performance. This Zen 5-based X3D chip is not only fast, it also comes with full support for overclocking. Besides gaming, application performance is considerably improved over the 7800X3D, but that comes at a price.
