AMD ROCKS , and if someone with a ASUS DARK HERO MB , uses ASUS DOCS , 1.3 V and 4650 will work wonders on MT .

That's truly impressive, as I can already have very wet dreams about Zen43D.
So AMD old tech good boost and stands tall next to intel highest tech in gaming, that's indeed amazing.
If AMD could just do it for the 5950X...

I already know what they're going to say: "The 12900K should run at faster RAM!" even though in most tests, it defeats the 5800X3D by a wide margin. Even the 5800X is a more sensible choice, if gaming isn't your main priority.
It hardly makes sense to spend $100+ more on the CPU itself and probably another $100 on faster RAM, for an indiscernible increase in framerate (when we're already talking framerates that, in some cases, are faster than any display can render). Once you get to 4K, the differences hardly matter. You might as well just get a 12400 if you're going to play at 4K and save yourself a huge wad of cash for no noteworthy loss in performance.

if you're going to play at 4k save even more cash and get a 5600 and some cheap as heck DDR4. Also who is going to pair a 3090 with a low end CPU on either side of the fence? So that reasoning doesn't work when you take into account the "mah Intel R betterz" group.

Agreed, note also the 5800x really has a boost of 4850MHz not 4700, so it is even further away in productivity benchmarks.

As you said games get a boost but then that just ends up as a pissing contest between fan boys on forums as in the real world people will not spot the difference.

Not sure why people are getting so over excited about this processor at that price when zen 4 is so close.

I think for the most part people are excited for what is to come next fall. This is a big jump in gaming for a year and a half old cpu that was not even the best back then.
