News AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Alleged specs and launch timeframe leak

I did i7-970 to Zen 2 3800X in like 2019 was on the older platform for about 10 years longest i've ever kept a rig.

It is interesting how much longer a computer can last now. Had my 11 year old 4770k been able to take 64GB RAM I would still be using it. However, my desktop I built in 2003 (Athlon XP 3000+ with 1GB RAM) was pretty much useless for gaming and a lot of other tasks by 2008.

Technology advances. I remember late 1990's my 75mhz Pentium was outdated before I got it home from the store.

I was upgrading phones every year from 2011-2016... then went every 2 years and now I just upgraded a 3 year old phone with 256GB storage to a 1TB Pro Max with the fancy camera that I really don't care about.

Plan is 5 years out of this phone... and longer out of the new PC build and laptop. Hardware is just too good nowadays.

Agreed fight the FOMO people.

Those of us on Zen 3 are who the upgrades are for

I don't know, Zen 3 is still awesome. Now, Zen 3 non-X3D to 9800X3D would be significant.

yup instead of a 30% gain you are looking at 50% from vanilla Zen 3.
