Valken:

This CPU hangs up there with the 13900K, just like the 5800X3D did for less money. That is the value or am I mistaken?

Corrupt^:

Top tier gaming performance with lower power consumption than Intel for us Europeans 😀

Gomez Addams:

That's with a clock rate of up to 5.0GHz. Imagine what it could do at higher frequencies.

cucaulay malkin:

modern advertising and its BS "up to" goalposts 🙄 16 site review average shows 7950x3d 3.8% faster than 13900K, so I don't think 7800x3d will end up even near 10% in reality. Expect 5% imo. Still, makes me want to buy an am5 platform with the direction amd are going. Fast and effcient, me like. Maybe sometime in the future, when am5 mobo and x3d cpu prices aren't through the roof and the cpus can take +7000 ddr5 when it becomes standard. I like intel for stability and hassle-free operation/installation, but I'm kinda bored with it, been on intel since C2D days.

tty8k:

Yes, for us Europeans that spend 4 grand on a gaming box every 2 years, then we worry about another 100quid per year difference in power consumption. Give me a break. It's good to see that the max power consumption is lower which makes it a more efficient chip overall, but for gaming it's not a big deal.

Corrupt^:

Ehm 4 grand? No, sure the stuff I have, audio equipment, pc, ... all amounts to a large budget, but it's been spread over several years. In some cases even a decade or longer (high end audio equipment still seems to be built to last). Also, after tinkering with the BIOS & Windows power settings I've learned the impact can be a lot more than 100 quid a year, granted I had a lot of stuff disabled prior to enabling a lot of power saving features, but I was still amazed at the difference. And last time I checked, I don't poop money when I go to the toilet. Sure I'm far from poor, but it doesn't hurt to be sensible with your money.

Have had 7800x3d+ performance since October with 13900k and 8400c34 ddr5. Nice with 20-40w lower powerdraw in games. "750w vs 720w" powerdraw from the wall is like whatever 😛

Dragam1337:

In norway where the power is cheap, yes. And the difference is alot more than 30w between that intel toaster and the amd 3d chips.

nizzen:

Last time I checked, Idle power was 20-30w more on 7 series vs Intel. Maybe a AGESA bug tho. 😛 I used 7950x for 3 months, but my 13900k and 13900ks is faster in everything, so there was no reason to keep it. 7800x3d should be a small upgrade for the gaming pc #3. That gamer has 10900k with 4700cl17 ddr4. Fortnite/overwatch gamer for my kids LOL

Dragam1337:

A smart person doesn't have their pc turned on just standing in idle for prolonged periods of time.... and in actual usage, 13900k uses stupid amounts of power, where as amd doesn't.

tty8k:

Exactly, in gaming the CPU accounts for almost nothing in terms of power consumption. You might end up with an extra 20kw per month if your job is 8hr/day gaming (Intel vs AMD) . For the casual, doesn't even come close or matter. If that's your main concern, then start worry about that 400W video card, rather than a cpu that eats 60W and the other 75W.

Dragam1337:

Yes, cause a 13900k uses 75w in actual use... /facepalm And evidently you haven't heard of undervolting gpu's. As said, i am very much reminded why i put you on ignore in the first place, and back on it you go.

nizzen:

Stupid? I'm just gaming on 13900k and ks. I would say the people that "playing" Cinebench 24/7 is pretty stupid, but I don't care what others do.... Playing BF 2042, and cpu is drawing like 120w, and gpu is drawing 450w (4090). Cpu is 48-53c while gaming. What is actual stupid?

nizzen:

LOL, strange you unignored him in the first place... Maybe you liked him or something <3 😳

Dragam1337:

I sincerely doubt that it uses 120w, if you are trying to run the game as fast as possible... maybe with a 60 fps cap. And 450w on gpu... that makes 2 people in this thread that evidently either haven't heard of undervolting, or doesn't know how to do it...
