AMD Roadmap reveals their enhanced Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs and new Threadripper CPUs

A 7800X3D is obviously gonna be an amazing CPU and could possibly be cooler and quieter to run than a 7700X while performing better in games. But it'll be very expensive. How many people will truly see the benefit of that when most of us are maximising graphics/resolution over 165+ FPS? Most gamers are happy somewhere between 60-144 FPS, and a 12600K will give you that for way less money. If I had a budget for a 7800X3D, DDR5, and a X670 motherboard, I'd also have the budget for a 3080-class graphics card. In which case I'd get more performance by buying a cheaper CPU/platform and putting that extra money to a 3080Ti-class graphics card. That's why I think the idea of waiting for this X3D model doesn't make a lot of sense. If AMD released a 7600X3D for $350 and B650 motherboards and affordable DDR5 were available by then, that would be different.
 
so because it doesnt fit your particular upgrade path, it doesnt make sense? It isnt all about you buddy. many people own the latest and greatest because they are what are known as enthusiasts . i know...wild concept.
 
I think AngryGoldfish's assessment was a sensible one, it adds to the conversation and at no point did he contradict the mentality of enthusiasts. I think a bit of chill is needed with the passive aggressiveness dude...

For gaming this approach makes sense. If you are utilizing all the extra grunt it gives you for non gaming workloads then it would make sense to wait if you can.

I'm not sure how gaming/streaming would perform or benefit from 3D cache but that's about the only gaming reason I could imagine extra CPU being necessary... Most people use NVEC though which defeats the purpose.

You should drop the attitude dude, there’s no need for it. What he said is basically a sensible and budget friendly one, which is a concept that exist. I know… wild right?
