Review AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Review: Devastating Gaming Performance

[YSCCC]

Simply AMD stated hardware limits.. 6400 1:1 max with a price/performance optimum at 6000 cl 30

yea I know, but I am not sure if the old AM5 boards could potentially have a new zen generation supporting CUDIMM, as the pin seems compatible between normal ram and CUDIMM, just that with CPUs not supporting CUDIMM they can't utilize the in built clock generater

I wonder how much the GPU bottleneck would be reduced at the highest resolution when the RTX 5090 is released?
9800X3D + 5090 dream team.

Have we ever seen such a gaming performance uplift from one gen to the next in the past? I don't recall myself. This is one impressive CPU.

So AMD does a +30% gaming performance improvement from one gen to the next, while Intel does a -5%. How times have changed.

Pentium 4 to Conroe and Nehalem to Sandy Bridge was like that.
From personal benchmarks, a 2 GHz Core 2-era Celeron easily beats a 3 GHz Prescott while simultaneously running at a third of the power draw. And that is with a low-end chip. 3 GHzCore 2 were availablepretty much from the start.

And I still remember a i5-2500K beating an i7- 980X, but by how much depends on the game.
And let's not forget how it went going from an FX-8350 to a R5 1600. Or rather a FX-9830P to an R5 1500X, considering Excavator was the last design before Zen.

Pros in the article are pretty accurate, but let me fix the cons:

CONS
1) As a fish, it can't seem to climb a tree as well as a squirrel
