New clickbait video early warning: AMD CPUs are lying to games!

AMD CPUs are lying to games!

It is not a lie

No point in buying one if using windows older than 24H2?

Process Lasso can probably help but it's admittedly more hassle than the average user would want.

Uber nerd pedantic nonsense really. I have seen it play games with nothing extra done. It's a great CPU already if you need gaming and lots of cores, no extra effort necessary.

No denying that. It's the only choice right now, other than the lesser performing 7000X3D and Alder Lake (<<< paired with really low latency DDR4-4000+ or DDR5-6000 CL26 RAM).

By the way, an ASROCK freelance BIOS guy is saying that Microsoft may soon release a 3000 series Windows emergency build to fix Arrow Lake. It's like waiting for the Messiah at this point

I dont think a normal Ryzen can be god tier...

God tier will be the 9000 series Threadripper with X3D rumored to come out, because they found a feature that disables X3D cache on the WRX90 motherboards.

Why would one want to disable cache?

 

[igor_kavinski]

Why would one want to disable cache?

I suppose mostly for benchmarking purposes, to see the impact of the cache. There could be other technical reasons for allowing that option, like maybe shaving off the slight 1 to 2 ns penalty for extending the L3 cache with the V-cache.

Don't EXPO your 9000X3D for the time being, folks!

Ryzen 7 9800X3D dies after EXPO activation - MSI X870E Tomahawk WiFi under suspicion? | igor´sLAB

New game, same drama, once again an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has gone overboard after the simple activation of EXPO. This time, however, it wasn’t an ASRock board, but the MSI X870E Tomahawk WiFi.

When it meets the right workload, it obliterates the competition!

But then there are counter examples too:


Still, 9950X3D maintains some dignity when losing here, unlike the 285K in the previous test

I'm really trying not to upgrade right now and this isn't helping!

The 9950X3D is looking like the no compromise choice right now!

Is it even in stock?

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Is it even in stock?

Nope. Scalpers already bought them all and are relisting them - https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/229189

Unfortunately (for me) it is in stock in the UK!

Ugh, why am I not surprised. Real scum bags.

Seems to be in stock here for those that are interested. At least for now

In stock but can't be brought.

Intel Nova lake better be good otherwise we see scalpers keep on buying X3D CPUs.

If NVL is bad uArch wise ( A new node means nothing for Intel as seen with arrow lake) then this whole decade will be bad for high end PC gaming.

 

[Saylick]

My local MC has it in stock, but alas I'm not in the market to build a new PC, nor will I be for a while. Just getting older and PC gaming ain't a hobby anymore, sadly.

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Granite Ridge AM5 4.30GHz 16-Core Boxed Processor - Heatsink Not Included - Micro Center

Get it now! The ultimate 16-core desktop CPU with 2nd gen AMD 3D V-Cache Technology that can do it all with incredible performance for the most demanding gamers and creators.

But hey, I still stick around and keep up with the latest hardware news!

Scalpers are a plague and should be audited by the tax man.

Report scalpers for unreported taxable income.

It's a painfully bad decision and Intel's refusal to own up to their mistakes. Monolithic Arrow Lake would've performed really well. But they couldn't put an NPU on that coz die size would grow too big and yields would go down. This AI crap is worse than cryptomining in a sense. Deprived us of a good CPU war.

Did you finally get your servers upgraded with Turin or Genoa???
