7800X3D - $449 4/6
7900X3D - $599 2/28
7950X3D - $699 2/28
nice…but kinda thanks AMD for delaying the 7800X3D 
Sounds like a good game plan for amd.
Release and gain fat stacks from the expensive ones.
Bulk up on failed cpus that can have their chiplets disabled to pass for 7800x3d.

i mean yeah but I don’t own AMD stock so my perspective is just consumer based 
finally a CPU worthy of playing WoW classic for a leet player such as myself. I can now get 300 FPS on my 144hz monitor. With 16 cores, each person in my raid can have a core dedicated to them because that’s how gaming works right?
P.S. Anyone think this will bottleneck my GTX 1060?

In all seriousness, the 7800X3D will probably be a really really good gaming choice.
Seems they are limiting the 3D V Cache to just one CCD, in which case the 7900/7950X3D models will not really gain as much benefit.

it will be a really good gaming benchmark choice, assuming you have the GPU and monitor you may even witness those benchmarks in real life
In games like WoW where you’re frequently CPU limited it will show benefits in the lows.
I am not entirely sure if FPS drops in WoW are from Network or CPU; my 13700K will show something absurd like 0% utilization when the fps drops happen though. So not sure.
As for the new chips, I don’t see a reason to go for the 7900/7950X3D as you’re getting the maximum L3 boost out of the 7800X3D still
Maybe, I totally get what you are saying when you looked at the 5800x to the 5800X3D, you could get roughly a 20% increase in lows and avg which is a great benchmark win but it’s a bare minimum in terms of seeing real world performance increase. Is it worth the upgrade, one can make a worthy case for either way. The other issue is the only WoW 5800x/X3D independent testing was done at 1080 with a RTX3090. Most people with that set up would be playing at 1440p (or higher res) making the differences smaller until such time there is a GPU that can offer RTX 3090 1080p performance at 1440p. It also brings up any FPS past your monitor’s max is moot.
Further more the Ryzen 7 are better gaming CPUs than the 5 so it will be interesting how much better the 7 series X3D are this time around.
And lastly as you stated, a “better” CPU will not fix a network issue.
So for some people based on their set up and near future upgrades, the “7800X3D will probably be a really really good gaming choice”. My guess is for a good number of them, they will be purchasing a CPU they may not be getting the most out of.
Your 13700k is an excellent CPU that should give you quality performance for years to come.
I won’t be buying anything for a while now…we are about to start kitchen renovation.
hold me.

yeah, we are looking into it after we just installed a new AC system this year and a new backyard fence last year. I still shake when I think of those bills.

I’ll wait for lab rats coming out complaining issues for a month before touching it. Its AMD quality after all.

There’s more to the story.
The 5800X3D is the smoothest experience for WoW you’ll get bar none. I don’t think you’ll see much of an improvement going to the 7KX3D series in terms of overall experience. Numbers will go up sure but who cares at 400fps vs 500fps.
Any of the modern Intel or AMD CPUs will be great for years to come. There is a ton more work to get the performance out of Intel CPUs though (better cooler needed etc etc). Also for games like Stellaris AMD X3D is upwards of 400% faster. Intel has a HBM cached based CPU to compete but I suspect it’s out of budget for most gamers.
Where are you getting any of these stats from?
I’m willing to bet all the processors perform equally in gaming and the reason they are delaying the eight core processor is they know that the one everybody would buy and they want to gravitate them towards the others. 
I currently have the 7900x. I will be selling that and getting the 7900x3D Asap! With that said I’m waiting for Bencharks before I pull the trigger. I need the extra cores productivity Hobbies on the side

Running the games.
BTW the 400 vs 500 wow is an example of it doesn’t matter after if your monitor can’t display those frames. Don’t go around using setting 1 to test… it’s an eye sore.
i often turn raid settings to 1 to help me see mechanics better since i’m old now and less things to see helps me not die

you really have no clue to what you are talking about and making stuff up is just 1. exposing your total ignorance and 2. hard to take you seriously on anything you post since you are using sophomoric hyperbole to try to justify your purchase. The fact that you don’t even know the basic difference of software FPS and monitor FPS is extremely disturbing in the attempt you make actually try to offer people advice.
