Even if real, if you buy the 9800X3D to run blender, you are doing it wrong.
If you're going to run productivity or mixed, get the i7.
Or the 9950x3d for the best of both worlds if you use core parking to fix windows issues. This article casually leaves out the 550-590 score of the 7950x/x3d.

The memory support sees an upgrade to DDR5-5600 (JEDEC) at one DIMM per channel. Using two DIMMs per channel, however, will drop your speeds to DDR5-3600 levels.

Serious question: When did consumer platforms start rating memory speeds like server platforms? It used to be whatever RAM speeds the platform was rated for it would work regardless of DIMM population at JEDEC speeds.

Now we are getting massive performance cliffs if you need more than 2 DIMMs (1 DPC) in a system. Is the desire for higher clocks somehow breaking the ability for IMCs to run 2DPC at standard JEDEC speeds?

"However, the 9800X3D easily outclasses the Ryzen 7 9700X this time by almost 11%. What's more bizarre is that the 9700X has a higher boost clock at 5.5 GHz."

No, the 9700x does NOT run at 5.5 for all core max-out workload, but just a single core. It would be less than the 9800x3d due to differences in tdp. Would think tech journalists would know this by now

Last years i7 is 30% faster than the yet unreleased R7. :eek: :eek:
Assuming this is not bait, and you are just ignorant: you are comparing 2 cpus with very different cores counts. Disable those e-cores or compare with 9900/9950x or their x3d variants to be fair, in this kind of workload

Ah, the 9800x 3d has less cores? I assumed since it's going to be 30% more expensive than the i7 it should have a similar core count. My bad
