Question 7800x3d vs 7950x3d?

[litaidd]

i bought the 7800x3d for gaming and semi heavy vm use and i havent been super happy with it as far as vm stuff goes. I use vmware workstation pro and it just seems to lack the performance that i need. does the 7950x3d perform better in games if I swapped it out for that? if it does I would consider buying it rn if I can get better vm performance and game performance.

The 7950X3D does not perform better in games because of the latency between the 2 CCX and the fact that only 1 CCX has the extra cache.

How many VM's are you running and what are the resources allocated to each VM? Also, what are the full specs of your machine?

You won't get better game performance. Better VM performance depends on how many VMs you have open and what they're actually doing.

How is your experience? I am also thinking about buying 7800x3d. Should I buy it or not?

Edit: I am still waiting.

It's been great as far as gaming goes I'm def happy that I picked it over intel or any of the other amd options

The X3d models are optimized for running a largely single threaded app, namely games.
I think if you are running other vm tasks, you would be better off with a R9-7950x.
Probably costs a tad less too.

go 7950x, unless gaming is that important to you.

I struggle to see a niche for the 7900x3d and 7950x3d CPUs...the 7800x3d is better for gaming and the 7900x and 7950x are better for productivity.

Maybe for someone that wants both gaming and productivity and is willing to accept that the 7900x3d and 7950x3d are compromises for both uses...???
