It's not a bad proposition, certainly impressive gains against Zen 3, but I think we all expected much better gaming performance vs the 13900K. I'm certainly still looking forward to the 7800X3D, which shouldn't be encumbered by any scheduling shenanigans. This one was never going to provide value.

Wow. This is a bit embarassing. While 5800x3d was really good at the time it came out, this new generation of x3d is basically the same or marginaly better than non-x3d variants. Looks like AMD is finally doing an Intel (14nm++++++++++++) but for more money!!! This is true progress.
P.S. G3D, are the badges more like a participation award or does it still mean something? As every product (even a bad one) gets a badge...

The most demanding games are the ones that see the biggest uplift in performance with 3d cache. The same is the case here. Far cry 6 going from 158 fps to 190 fps.

I am looking forward to seeing more indepth gaming reviews of the 7800x3d in stuff like cyberpunk, and witcher 3 remake - not the ancient 2015 witcher 3, in which the numbers are stupid at this point.
