For gaming, I fully agree. Nothing beats the X3D in value and power draw so far. I'll have to do some code compiling in the future, so I'll need something with more performance. Even just the 7700X is about 35% faster than the 5800X/5800X3D in compilation without breaking the bank, though I'll wait to see when the Zen 4 X3D models will come. Rumor has it that they will come early next year, and I can wait until then to see how they behave in gaming (compilation will probably not be affected at all, the scores for the 5800X and 5800X3D are virtually the same) and then run a 77007900/7950 X3D (depending on my financial situation by then) in ECO mode if they're not too expensive for me. 13900K is not an option for me btw. While the performance is great, the power draw is way too high. I'd love to see how well it performs if limited to it's nominal TDP of 125W, though, so maybe if the performance drop ain't too bad it could be a possibility. But with how much it pulls at stock, I don't have my hopes high on this one. |
Just for giggles, I thought I'd compared my current build to the one I wanna build sometime:
The power draw of the newer models and price can be def put offs for me, much in the same way Nvidia's new line-up is doing to me.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
