Let's get started with AMD. So, the company recently released their 7000X3D models of Ryzen cpu’s. Well, specifically, the 12 cores 7900X3D, and the 16 core 7950X3D. If we look at the reviews, they’re… well they’re kind of weird. Whether you look at Gamers nexus, Hardware unboxed, LTT, or whoever else’s reviews, these chips don’t really dominate the competition. In some cases, their own 8 core 7700X is as fast as the 7900X3D and sometimes even the last gen 5800X3D beats it. In other cases, the 7950X destroys the old models while the 7900X lags a little behind, but on average, they’re pretty good gaming chips. Just not worth the price difference in my opinion. Especially when compared to intel’s 13900K which at or close to the top in every benchmarks, and costs 120$ cheaper. You just have to live with a space heater. Anyways, why am I talking about this? Well because the third X3D Model, the 8 core 7800X3D is coming in a little less than a month, and AMD is starting to give us some homegrown benchmarks for it. The thing is.. Those benchmarks are WILD. Tom's hardware shared some AMD slides about the 8 core 3D chip and AMD claims it's about 20% faster than the 5800X3D, or the 13900K… but in 4 cherry-picked games. As we know, on average, the 2 new X3D models aren't all they were cracked up to be. Fast, for sure, but they didn't dominate the space like the 5800X3D did.
