lol I'm old school and don't have the patience to watch the whole video. Just flip to the benchmarks and the last few minutes.

The only major argument I have against the 9800x3d is the price. Which has been my biggest complaint with AMD for 4 years now, really since 2017. Depending on where you are in the curve/wave of upgrades or needing a new system it generally pays to wait out AMD 6-12+ months for the best value and stable products. For many people, the price/perf is just not worth it for their needs and historically I just do not like seeing an 8core cpu be $450.


9900k $500
5800X $450
5800X3D $450
7700X $399
7800X3D $450
9800X3D $480

All of these 8 cores were, for all intents and purposes, the best gaming CPUs when launched. The only outlier MSRP price is the 7700X. It barely beat the Alder Lake CPUs when it launched. This lower price was undoubtedly a response to the lackluster reaction to 5800X at $450 when it was in a similar position to the competion. The MSRP is right in line with what you'd expect for this type SKU historically, even if you ignore inflation. If there was something from Intel to compete I'd agree with you that the MSRP is too high. Given the fact team blue can't even beat the 7800X3D, I don't see much to whine about. They probably could have charged more and they'd still fly off the shelves. How is this different than Intel asking a premium for the 9900K when the 2700X and 3700X couldn't keep pace in gaming?

Ah gotcha. We all probably misunderstood your original message as being sincere questions looking for answers.
I saw that video more carefully and see his point but the main question most people have is how much of a difference will they notice over their existing X CPU with specific current games they like. As the video shows, different games behave very differently as the resolution increases. 1080p is not useless but does not give the full picture either, you have to look at both that and 4K/DLSS.

The one game I play that is a lot faster is Starfield. It might be a good time to pick this up whenever I get around to playing its DLC.

I guess suckers like me using probably the second most common resolution of 1440p are out of luck then?

No, it is the same argument often used for gpu price increases giving us x60 class cards with a 128bit bus and 8gb vram at $300-400. You're not getting more for your money overall
We are getting more though. For the retail price of 12700K in Dec 2021 when I built may last system, today I could buy the 9900X or the 265K. We went from 8P+4E to 12P or 8P+12E for roughly the same price, inflation not accounted for. The 9990X launched with higher MSRP than the 12700K but quickly adjusted down based on demand. That's the thing with demand, works both ways and in the case of the vanilla chips it's beneficial for value shoppers while 3D chips are surging right now, they'll go down eventually.

It gets even better for someone like me who's sweet spot for productivity is around 8P cores. Both the 9700X and the 245K are 20% cheaper than the 12700K I bought 3 years ago, and they're faster too. Inflation not included. If GPU pricing were anything like CPU pricing, we'd be chilling.

For some reason Nvidia (and perhaps AMD) get a pass on inflation when it comes to GPU's but when it comes to CPU's that argument falls apart entirely.

We can parody the talking points as well.

"It's Intel's fault AMD keeps raising prices. If they made competitive products AMD would have to compete on price."

"We need Intel to make better products, so I can buy AMD CPUs cheaper." That part is seldom out loud of course, but actions speak louder than words.

In addition to normal inflationary pressure, TSMC charges more than ever perforce.

The price of Zen 4 CPUs going back up is yet more confirmation that gaming drives the retail market. We have seen the biggest discounts so far on vanilla Zen 5. If you were planning to buy a 7 series 3D based on speculation the price would drop even lower than it was, that's on you. Vanilla Zen 5 didn't change the gaming landscape. Then Arrow missed the target, the Osborne effect dissipated, and demand for 3D went up even more.

The fact it's the first officially overclockable 3D is worth the extra $30 MSRP alone. Speaking of which -

+1 as an Ultrawide user perfect res to avoid the 4k performance and wallet tax.
So you need more than a 14100f then? Because if you are gaming at 4K that's all you need; someone posted a very authoritative video on the last page proving it. I know every reputable outlet disagrees, but who are you going to believe? The army of AMD neanderthal marketer accounts on message boards, reddit, youtube, and those virgin trust pilot reviewers? Or a youtube rando and userbenchmark?

I guess MS flight sim enthusiasts need to bump to 4K and relieve that CPU bottleneck (yeah I am going to keep Sparta kicking the dumbass talking point) Because at 1440 he can't hit 60fps without frame gen in NY city flying a Fenix A321
