Overall pretty impressive. Personally AMD should get rid of chips like the 7900x/7950x in the future cause those buyers essentially got scammed. For the price you are paying for those class of chips, they should be able to do everything well. Luckily 7950x3d does and thanks to its performance in both gaming and productivity, spending the big bux on AM5 now makes sense.

The i5 13600k remains the midranged king. 7700x is still a pointless cpu. 7800x3d should be gaming king for its price. I'd skip 7900x and 7900x3d entirely. Intel will likely respond with discounts but being limited to a single gen makes their value proposition questionable overall since the performance is so close.

I disagree with you regarding the 7950/7900X. Some users don't use their PCs for gaming but don't have the resources (or the need) to go the extra mile for a Threadripper system. That's where those two CPUs come into play.

By the way, have fun the next weeks!

Yes but the difference in productivity is so small and the fact that they both cost the same at msrp shows that it's really not worth the trade off. If they launched with 7950X3D/7900X3D instead of 7900X/7950X, it would make a lot more sense. Plus more and more, GPUs are taking over plenty of the heavier workloads anyway.

And thanks, I'll miss posting the news here but I'll still be posting comments and such. I should be back in April.
