Always went Intel and looking to upgrade to the I9 14900kf. But this AMD x3d tech has got my eye, the 7800x3d for eg. However I notice not all software will use this 3d cache. This is for a VR only SIM rig, racing and flying. Any advice welcome folks.
Probably because you are VR only. Most people aren't VR. I have AMD and it's great, but I don't use VR.
Although I have no data, other than just casual observation, it appears VR is far more ingrained in the flight sim community. You might find more information in one of their forums
7800X3D here (after a 10900K). Sim racing with triple and flight sim with VR. It works very very well!
Just to give you the full spec I went for, have to say I am not disappointed. Loads of head room to do things in sims I only dreamed of before in VR. Never had an AMD chip before and cant see me going back to intel any time soon. It runs cooler, less power draw, beats the 14900k, oh and it was cheaper! Rf2 is running smooth as silk. Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core 5.00GHz (Socket AM5) Processor Corsair Vengeance RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 PC5-52800C32 6600MHz Dual Channel Kit MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM X 24GB GDDR6X
…and with your motherboard you can upgrade to the new CPUs by just swapping the CPU. Your AM5 motherboard should normally be good for the next 3-4 years!
Yes this seems the case, they are doing something very correct giving longer life to product, rare these days. It also looks like the end of raw brute force over clocking, I'm used to more, give me more GHz, Scotty shouting from the engine room she cana tek ne more captain. I've just set everything to box standard, I've never been so cool sitting in my rig. I've been used to the space heating up like a sauna.
I am using AMD for more than a decade for my gaming PC. Before that, I used intel for all my work and entertainment. I found AMD more effective than Intel when it comes to gaming PC so I am using it for my gaming and for my other work I use my laptop with an intel processor.
It is just a new review no less no more Early next year will be 9800X3D with 800 chipset , faster memory support, etc etc Difference between these 2 chips with fastest cards at highest resolutions would be next to nothing. 9xxx: More Instructions delivered per cycle Improved branch prediction accuracy and latency Higher throughput with wider pipelines and vectors Deeper window size across the design for more parallelism Dispatch and execution expanded Doubled cache data bandwidth AI Acceleration In several aspects, the AMD Zen 5 core architecture offers up to a 2x increase such as the Instruction Bandwidth for the front-end instructions, data bandwidth (L2 to L1 and L1 to FP), and AI perf (AI & AVX512 Throughput). The Zen 5 CPU cores (CCDs) are based on the TSMC 4nm process node while the IOD is based on the TSMC 6nm process node. They come in the same peak config of 2 CCDs and 1 IOD on consumer platforms. Zen 5 features a dual pipe fetch with an advanced branch prediction unit which enables: Branch Prediction: less latency, more accuracy, and throughput Instruction cache latency and bandwidth improvement Dual decode pipes
Further, looking closer I don't agree. Course depends where you live I guess. In Australia 7800X3D is $10AU dearer, $599AU vs $609AU I only paid $549AU for 7800X3D but all shops have gone back to $599AU 800 M/Bs will be comparable price to 600 and faster. As well it must be nice to buy high end system just to use for driving. In benchmarks I put above what exactly does the 7800X3D beat it in ? ( shrugs) I own one too so I not bias.
