Yeah the 7800X3D is so good for that use case. And a perfect chip for ITX builds as well with that power consumption.

Makes the 7950X3D, and especially the 7900X3D irrelevant for people who are just looking for the best gaming CPU. Maybe priced a bit high compared to other high end chips like the 13600/700K. But for people who uses their PC for a lot gaming and games that makes use of that cache this is the one to get.

LTT did a comparison with other X3D chips for perf/watt in the long term. And they show the cost saved if gaming for 2hrs a day+1 hr productivity and the thing saves money in itself. This would be even crazier when used in the EU and UK where in a lot of countries the energy prices have skyrocketed the past year.

Tbh LTTs comparison is a bit missleading when they added in that productivity aspect because they didn't take into account that because the 13600k has 8 additional E-Cores, the application that's hammering the CPU would have it's task done quicker on a 13600k than on a 7800X3D. Not to mention the 13600k is significantly cheaper than 7800X3D to begin with so the $110 that you save over 5 years is actually nonsense. Cause the MSRP of a 13600k is $329 vs $450 for 7800X3D to begin with.

LTT and their awful takes lul

Yeah arbitary numbers are lul-worthy and don't factor in overall performance and use cases.

These chips like the 5800X3D are clocked lower with 1CCD which works well for low(er) workloads and gaming. And vs big little approach on Intel who also has one big advantage that they consume way way less power at Idle vs AMD's MCM counterparts. Say my 5800X3D consumes around 50-60W while gaming and 117W full load. And 27-28W Idle and a 11, 12th or 13th gen Intel will considerably consume less at Idle and will easily outperform it in heavy work loads.
