Dumbest, most clueless comment so far I've seen. This is obviously either a returded person, or has no idea what they're talking about. Or one of those die hard Intel fan boys. The regular non-X3D CPU's always run hotter, than their X3D counterparts. So there's no way really for the X3D variants to be running much hotter temps. Besides that, AMD in general have always been on the more efficient power side vs Intel, and run cooler with significantly less power draw. This generation is also rated at lower TDP than previous 7000 series. So what in all heck is this person talking about exactly? Answer: absolutely nothing. Just a useless word salad of a comment.

Curious if the efficiency will go hand in hand with the temperature of the chip. Currently running the 7800x3d in a small form factor and it cools nicely with just a low profile air cooler. Hoping this is the same and we don't see higher temps for the new generation.

Last time I checked, gamers weren't playing Cinebench abd Cinebench wasn't amongst most popular games. And of course architecture tailored towards server workloads will of course do better in productivity workloads. But question is whether Ryzen 9800X3D will be another Ryzen 5% in gaming against 7800X3D. Sure it may be nore efficient, which is huge priority on server, hence why it likely scales better in Cinebench at lower power. But X3D chips are primarily gaming and if it fails there, it will be big disappointment. Also I would love to see Cnebench  against 9700X, since that doesn't really scale that much with cache. Plus TDP at which it is running, might be higher.

AMD just beat their own fastest gaming CPU in the world with their own new fastest gaming CPU in the world.

Come on Intel you have 12x (1200%) more engineers than AMD does. Stop getting face planted.

I just bought a 7800X3d and I have no Regrets I got it on sale , You have to catch them Quick because the price goes up anywhere as high as $900.00 Soon they will be phased out to make Room for the 9800X3d and after that will be something faster and so on and so on it never ends so be Happy with what you got if you have a 7800x3d or even a 5800x3d Enjoy GAME HARD!
