> we do have some baseline expectations courtesy of synthetic Geekbench results found earlier this month. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D scored just 1,812 and 18,003 points on the Single-Core and Multi-Core benchmarks, respectively — while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D managed 2,145 and 23,315, respectively.

That's a pretty respectable bump if the numbers hold. As always take synthetic benchmark results with a grain of salt, especially ones from some guy on the Internet with pre-release hardware.

Hopefully it's decent. This generation has been terrible for AMD and Intel. Both have been basically identical in performance to the previous gen.

If that's true from 7800X3D -> 9800X3D too it'll suck.

Wasn't that mostly due to Windows, which has since been fixed?

No. The Windows patch bumped up both Ryzen 4th and 5th generation identically. Their performance delta remained the same.

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/the-zen-5-ga... looks pretty good to me, for everyday & gaming workloads.

The avx512 is a monster, if you can use it.

Power efficiency & scaling is also very nicely improved.

Intel's Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake aren't monster desktop cores but they bring Intel from way way way behind in power efficiency to pretty good. And the new iGPU is far better than anyone expected, and their drivers team just dropped another huge performance win last week.

I'm very impressed. AMD's server lineup is much more full top to bottom this time around too, and the cores & their io are absolutely well epic (epic joke).

Getting a 7800x3d for $300 in January was a great decision in hindsight

That is pretty much what the 7800x3d launched for, no?
