    Benchmarks are all over the place. It makes me wonder if they can fix some of it with driver updates.

    Haven't had to look into RAM in a bit. For DDR5, what are the best timings and speed lately? Like is 8000 actually stable for x870e? Is there still an issue with using 4 sticks (maybe I am imagining this)?

    Thanks!

    Four sticks has improved but still some timing issues, but seems to be getting better with bios updates.

    My understanding is only the new core ultras are really taking advantage of those super high ram speeds, and better to stick to 6000 if going amd, or 13/14 gen intel. I can't speak though for the 9800 X3D from AMD as that only just got announced yesterday.

    Zen 5 is still AM5, so it'll probably have the same memory limitations regardless of the chipset. 870e isn't really doing anything that 670e can't do, and it's still limited to 2x6khz CL30.

    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    9800x3d went live early on Newegg. Ordered without issue and status already at packing

    I'm still rocking my 5900x (got it about a year before X3D came out), so I probably won't be upgrading for at least another 1-2 years, but that 9800x3d looks like it will still be an excellent value that far down the line.

    Actually, if Trumps tariff's come to fruition, should I upgrade now which will be at the 3.5 year mark of this system build, or still wait 2 years and wind up getting gouged due to a random global pandemic when I hit my 5 year mark for my planned upgrade?

    I say buy now. Shit 7800X3D is still 400+ dollars. Can you imagine what prices will be next year?

    I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money, but I just upgraded and my last system was only 2 years ago.. It's a laptop and all but I'm letting my son use it so we can play games together and my new system was a steal. You're going to find so many sales going on between now and the New Year. I say if your finances are fine, do eet.

    I don't like some of their benchmarks. Who the hell is going to pair a 6 core 12 thread CPU with a 4090, DDR5 6000 memory, and a 1080p monitor running medium settings?

    They use this approach to level the playing field across all setups. Running at 1080p on medium settings ensures the GPU won’t bottleneck the test, allowing the focus to remain on evaluating the CPU’s performance rather than the GPU’s.

    I don't understand your reasoning. It isn't a "system" benchmark. It is a "CPU" benchmark. You don't want to benchmark with anything but the "best" as you ideally want the only bottleneck to be the part you are testing. Benchmarking at higher resolutions or detail settings puts more load on the GPU instead of the CPU being tested and can introduce GPU bottlenecks.

    No, I get it and the chip performs remarkably well. I just like to see real world tests. I say again. Nobody who is building a budget system is going to buy that cpu and then spend 2 grand on a 4090.

    Those are done... just not when they are testing a new CPU...
