You jumped from a 9950X3D to this? If all you do is game, probably a side grade, and that would be at 1080p gaming. 2k or 4k and I doubt this adds much if anything at all. If you do anything with productivity tho, definitely a downgrade over a 9950X3D.
No, this is for my gaming PC at my parents house which currently sports a 5700x
Ahhh, ok, got you. Was confused when your last post was about the 9950X3D.
My bad... that's a great upgrade for sure.I highly doubt it, these are probably just binned chips, similar to the 13/14900ks.
It is the SAME chip, just binned higher. There is no new architecture or process node being used.
Yes but it is a newer product. Could have updated microcode/etc.
Bit of wishful thinking here. That said, a far more likely scenario is updated bios releases may have addressed the problem but that would apply to all CPUs
The SoC can handle double the voltage for a short time.
I have 3 other friends who I got to buy this based on my recommendation of having it, and they also love it.
If you have a Micro Center nearby - I HIGHLY recommend any open box mobos. You can save an absolute ton of money and I have always had a great experience. I currently run an ASUS X870E-E ($250 open box), Crosshair Hero X870E ($300 open box), ProArt X670E ($250 open box, was brand new), and B650E-F (new combo). I used to have a couple of ASRock boards but I chucked them due to CPU risk. Loved them, though...same open box story. High end $500+ boards for half price or less.
Would be nice if they could prove -35 CO is 100% stable, I am betting it is not.
This is pure luck, but since we assume that these are pre-binned chips, it is very likely.
If we assume 100% stable, its not really that impressive. Its mostly the binned chip and massive negative curve offset providing the higher boost. I guess maybe that IS the point of these, but id see this more as a replacement for the 9800X3D and not an upgrade for anyone already on the platform.
It's the fastest gaming chip today so people will buy it versus anything else for new builds. It's a "KS" part for those that want the best.
“So vs 9800X3D, the 9850X3D is...
️WAY more Power Hungry
Click bait video aimed at getting those that already have a modern X3D CPU to watch and say "this is bad, I am good with my current CPU" - which is a big duh.“So vs 9800X3D, the 9850X3D is...WAY HotterNOT noticeably Faster”

that’s definitely concerning and it’ll thermal throttle
I mean, if you need 3% more performance then yes - you need to sell your 9800X3D and get this.
If someone has a 9800X3D and has the upgrade itch - go 9950X3D every time!
seems to be 0.5% at 4KI mean, if you need 3% more performance then yes - you need to sell your 9800X3D and get this.
RE: the heat -
You guys have to look at the numbers. "Hot" is relative here. They're saying "hot" compared to the 9800X3D which is an ice cold CPU.
Same cooler i'll be using. Have any of the reviews mention SOC voltages?
not sure, i only watched the HC one above since im technically supposed to be working, but its a organization day with no kids so we're all slackin...
still not seeing it in any of these either, didnt see a single BIOS pic, but i skipped through pretty quickly...
Those msi x870e boards are pretty nice in that they have a way to disable the usb4 in favor of a second m.2 connected into the cpu...at least the tomahawk does. They really were thoughtful on the lane math on that board.
