I cannot see great value offers for my use case, which is gaming and code compilation on Linux. I still use a turbo-boost modded Xeon 2696 v3 with 18C/36T that still offers good enough performance if I optimize my distro with compiling a lot of packages with advanced compiler options and techniques. The 14700 non-K would be interesting if it were on the market already, but at 350 EUR it would also cost too much and doesn't supported the fancy new AVX 10.1 or 10.2 and APX ISA. It seems I can still use my Xeon for another two years then.

Feel like my 5600X starts to struggle a bit (I play lots of CPU titles like Tarkov, Strategy stuff (SC2, Planetcoaster, etc), CS2, Apex) and I really feel like it's not optimal anymore.
This and the fact my GPU(3070) died (probably) make me wonder if it's time to upgrade my CPU as well.
Hopefully they refund me my 3070 and then I'm looking to get get a 4070 (or 4070ti super), and it might finally be time to get a 5800X3D.
Its just that this thing is so freaking expensive still (300 ) for an EOL chipset :/

Good to know I didn't mess-up too-much on my build. I went with the Ryzen 5 5500 with an A520, 4-RAM slot mobo instead of the i3- 12100F for a turbo-budget editing rig. The goal was to be able to spend more on RAM down the line than I spent on the CPU. I get a bit of brush-lag in CSP and the occasional hiccup in Blender, but the point you made that just another 40 dollars was not an option is much-appreciated. I got exactly as much as I needed from my new rig and I'm pretty proud of my decision-making for once.

Im still rocking a 10850k, and would like to move to a 4090 from my 3080 (mainly because nvidia got stingy with only 10gb of vram on my model and its causing lagging), but im not sure if my 10th gen is going to bottleneck the 4090?
I'm also considering switching to team red after 15 years of blue in my queue with all the performance gains I'm seeing, plus the added benefit of not having to switch mobos every 2-3 years due to socket changes.

Look at what mostly are played at steam. A lot of normal people just need a budget PC to a kid at 8 years of age to play bloons, minecraft, LoL, roblox and a simple shooter. To those guys I really think a 5500 is the best option with the cheap b450 motherboard and DDR4. 5500 is not even mentioned and these 75 % of user are not in the scope of this content even though I hoped it was. Thanks for great content anyway.

I mean it wasn't hard for me went from i3 9100f to r5 5600 and a new am4 board and added more ram. 7600 and mobo for that and any intel processor at the same caliber costs like double to triple what 5600 + a really decent mobo that can handle 5900x or 5800x3d np costs in my country so it's what it's. If it comes to shove would just sell my 5600 + some money to get 5800x3d which also costs a ton rn.

DDR5-6000 30-36-36-76 (DDR4: 3200 14-14-14) OK GN, which is which? I'm going to have to downvote every video you do not denote which system benchmark has which kind of RAM. After your LTT hitjob, I expect better than offering your viewers partial information. These charts are a joke without this info.

I'm disappointed there are no Threadrippers in gaming benchmarks... I went with 7950X3D just so I can have best of both worlds but I'm curious how good new TR beasts are in games. I've used to game on Xeons back in LGA2011v3 era :)

the 7800x3d is my hero , i travel in a big converted bus so i build a low power draw pc for it so i can game longer before batteries run out of juice
finally i could have top tier fps performance with crazy low power draw

i built a new PC last week and got the Ryzen 7 7800X3D for US 300 ( 299.99 lol) at Micro Center. It's being water cooled inside the amazing Lian Li Dan A4 H2O. Loving the beast performance in such a tiny form factor.

This is a great help for me. I trust GN because you are thorough and understand what people at all levels of ability.
With AM4 still being viable and AM5 the future, this puts AMD the go to platform for me.

Lowkey wishing you guys would do some 'best computer case of 2023' since there's little to none case review per month of this year. I'm not complaining, I just miss the case reviews. Kudos, thanks for the recap

Coincidentally, before this video came out, I checked what userbenchmark thinks about amd s x3d range. If you just type x3d in the search bar and press enter, you re up for a surprise!!!

Purchased 7800X3D 3 days ago and you dropped this now. Well luckily it was a good choice haha. But currently pairing it with my old 2060 cus my budget drained with Am5 upgrade.

I wonder where previous-previous gen top-of-the-line cpus stack in this kind of comparison, it's sort of interesting to see how they fall from grace or live (4770k)

Love my 5800X3D - at first it didn't make sense coming from a 5800x , but the gains in Tarkov have been amazing, all whilst using about 65w under load.

Now, let's just hope not a lot of retailers are watching gamers nexus videos and the price of most of these CPUs won't go up magically overnight

Great to know! I'm putting together a somewhat budget rig, and man, comparing AMD and Intel continues to be an inordinately difficult task.

I have to build a new pc from the ground, and geez, 200 for 7600 is a lot for a starting point. Motherboards for AM5 are pricey too.
