Ryzen 9 9950X vs Ryzen 7 7800X3D: Zen 5 flagship to fail to take the throne in gaming despite big performance bump

[Redaktion]

According to AMD's announcement at Computex 2024, the upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X is faster than the Core i9-14900K in productivity and gaming tasks. However, fans who were waiting for Zen 5 to outdo the Zen 4 X3D chips in gaming are in for disappointment as the Ryzen 9 9950X isn't expected to beat the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

So the 7800X3D must be the better cpu right!

Load of tosh, if it is not faster or better than previous generation, what's the point of releasing it into the market and create waste and garbage.

Wow, a previous generation gaming CPU is better at games than the future generation general purpose CPU, but not as fast at games as the future generation gaming CPU.

Who would have guessed!

Next on news... HW video encoding is faster and more power efficient than SW video encoding. Everyone in shock!

Edit: previous comment lowered everyone's IQ.

A great job by AMD with this Ryzen 9 9950X which must be compared with its Intel counterpart that has not yet been released and that according to professional forums will not surpass it either.
Now people are waiting for when Ryzen Ryzen 9000X3D will be released in September with an improved 3D V-Cache and new Zen 5 architecture, another processor that Intel will not be able to beat.
Things get very ugly for Intel, it loses on laptops and now on PC the only thing left to do is see what happens with the iGPU and dedicated graphics.
