they are east coast out of Florida plus Steve would have written the article a few days ago. He clearly had the video ready to go
Yeah there isn’t an article yet, that was the old one I posted.

If you want to see 1440p and 4k results check out Techtesters video here.
It seems as expected if you game at 4k there is little to no difference between the 7950x3D, 13900k and regular 7950x. We are talking 2-5fps here aka within the margin of error between the Three
Since I game at 4k unless the 7800x3D pulls a rabbit out of its hat at 4k I will stick with my 7900x.

the biggest thing I took from that video is the 7600x looks good and is down to $237 at microcenter and $240 on Amazon. impressive “simulated” numbers for the 7800x3D though
Unless wife wants an upgrade off her 9900k, likely won’t bother.

Indeed it did. Thermals on the 7800x3D should be impressive also based off the 7950x results
My plan originally was to sell my 7900x and get the 7800x3D thinking it would be another 5800x3D leap in performance. But after seeing current 4k results? I am pretty sure I will just say “meh” and hold out for 8000 series aka the 8900x since it will be AM5 also.

Based on the 1080p data, the 7000 series X3D chips will become obvious in FPS lows (raids world pvp etc) and also in average FPS once the next gen of GPUs launch.
I’m sure you are not the only one planning on it and it does kind of suck for consumers. How many people drop $300-600 on a CPU just to upgrade to another one 12 months later in order to chase benchmarks? How much will AMD sandbag releases in order to maximize sales to these people? It’s their money, they can do as they please but I’m sure there is a good number of them that will look at the 1080p numbers and upgrade their 4k system.
it should help with the lows but it won’t remove upstream issues. You can check out TPU’s 720p game performance to see a further removal of GPU limits.
And people have to remember you won’t be seeing these average FPS improvements unless you have a 4090 class GPU.

Nah I was doing it for the 1% lows. AKA smoothness not the average FPS. TBH I dont even look at average fps most of the time. I focus on the 1% lows. But like I said above between the 7900x, 7950x3D, 13900k and 7950x there is a 2-3 fps difference at 4k between the Four of them. Would be silly to do so if the 7800x3D shows similar results. But if we saw the same 15-30% increase in performance we saw with the 5800x3D when it dropped that would have been a differant story.
I paid $390 when it was on a brief sale on Amazon for my 7900x. I think its back up to $415 now. Due to that I didint mind the idea of selling it and upgrading. Had I paid MSRP? It would be out of the question and not even a thought on my mind.

So I posted on the AMD subreddit looking for 7950x3D benchmarks in wow = https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/11dgn3d/has_any_reviewer_benchmarked_the_7950x3d_in_wow/
not sure why they removed my post considering it had discussion going and was getting foot traffic.
basically: why doesn’t anyone bench WoW? 
gamersnexus benched FF14
I’d kill to see some 7950x3D vs 5800x3D benchmarks rn
FF14 has a built in benchmark which is repeatable and easy to use, so that’s why they use it. It’s also DX11 so it represents a slice of older titles that still use this API.
WoW is hard to bench because of so much other crap going on, and way too many variables. Even the FF14 benchmark doesn’t really mean much as it pertains to actual gameplay.
However, it is closer than WoW because unlike WoW, FF14 has highly limited player model counts per instance and per activity. There really are no huge open world raid bosses or world PVP areas.
Also important to note without a X3D CPU the 4090’s full potential might the going to waste. People buying Ryzen 5800X with 4090s might just be wasting money.
I’m impressed we’re getting 13900k perf at 1/2 the power consumption with 22% less heat… on the 7950X3D. The 7800X3D is going to be a gamer’s paradise.

I have a 4090 + 5800x and playing wow and the cpu bottleneck is unbelievably frustrating.
I’ve been waiting to see 5800x3D vs 7xxx3D benchmarks in wow
4090 in general seems like a waste outside of 4k
for now anyway

TPU used but dropped it, their reason “The problem was the always-online nature of the game and Blizzard pushing patches literally hours before graphics card review NDA was up. So I dropped it and only 3-4 people complained over the years”
how so? in specific areas or just general throughout?
that PPI with 4k @27" 
I was on a 1440p 24" display; 122ppi. Thing was CRISP.
Then I switched to a 1440p 27", even that was still decent at 109ppi.
Now I have 32" 1440p 32". It’s 91ppi. Basically 1080p/24" level. BUT I am old and can’t see split captain so size matters more to me now 
But 163ppi sounds ridic crisp if your eyes are good enough to appreciate it
