Wow... you don't read much, do you? Check the website's articles over the past week or so... There are SEVERAL articles all on this one CPU... which hasn't been released yet by the way...
I'm not saying "don't do it"... I'm just wondering why so many articles (and more are planned) are being written about it! I'm assuming because it's the only CPU being released and since Techspot got one, they have to justify having it
And despite what some of our AMD fanboys will tell you, this CPU makes 0 sense for almost anyone... if this was AMD's equivalent to the 12500/12600/12700, I'd understand...
I've read all of them. Why imply otherwise? And as I stated, "
New tech gets news. Always has, always will. Don't like gaming crowns... don't read (about) 'em." One article was an announcement from AMD. Those articles always get published. One was a review when it came out. Those articles always get published. Two others are benchmarks - benchmark articles get published when chips are flagships or claim to take the crown in specific areas. Would you believe... wait for it... such articles always get published.
Believe it or not there exist a ton of computer people who enjoy reading news about what is claimed to be the new gaming king in the CPU world and what, according to the benchmarks showing it to be depending on the title, are accomplished while spending a significantly less amount of money that through a platform switch with new MB, RAM, CPU, and possibly PSU.
Later in this thread you respond, "...
we're seeing giant benchmark articles - but against CPUs that make no sense to compare it to!"
Wrong again. It is compared to the Intel i9-12900K. Why do you think that is? Well, Techspot answers that with, "
As a gamer, you would only buy the Core i9-12900K because you want the best of the best, at least from Intel. Whereas you'd buy the Ryzen 7 5800X3D because you want the best gaming CPU the AM4 platform has to offer."
Does that make sense? If you fail to see how I just cannot imagine what you're thinking unless you cannot comprehend the words in Techspot's articles you've eluded to. It's literally spelled out.
It also gets compared to it's brother, the 5800X. They could have chosen the 5600X, 5700X, 5800X, 5900X, 5950X. Let's suppose they didn't want to rehash benchmark comparisons to ALL of those but chose just one. Can we not guess that for those upgrading to a 5000 series CPU they'd enjoy a comparison of 5000 series CPUs? It makes perfect sense to me. In fact it makes glaring sense.
In yet ANOTHER post you state, "
The only benchmark that makes sense - comparing it to an Intel CPU that actually costs the same or similar - still hasn't come out yet... but it's coming... THAT article I'll actually be interested to read!"
So which is it? Do you want
less articles about the 5800X3d because you, "
Almost wondering if AMD paid Techspot to advertise for them... seems we're getting a LOT of articles and comparisons with this dead-end chip...", or do you want
more? Care to retract then?
As for the arguing others elude to and as someone pointed out you seem to be projecting. You responded, "
Of course I'm projecting my own view... this is an internet forum!" I would guess he/she meant you are projecting your views
onto others. It should go without saying it is your own personal perspective, no?
You claim people who'd see an upgrade with this new champ is a "microscopic" pool. I mean, how many b550 and x570 motherboards are there who can easily afford to drop this in? Do you look at sales reports of all manufacturers and can glean the tech budgets of all the people across the globe who may be purchasing this exact CPU and may very well do so based on articles they read on the internet? Seems to me you are unquestionably projecting your viewpoint onto others. You're saying, "I wouldn't buy it so y'all shouldn't either and stop writing about it unless it compares what I want [so to speak]". And that's fine, I guess. Just like it's fine when others enter the thread and say they want it and could make use of it given their hardware specs or see it selling out where they shop.
Perhaps it's okay for you to respond to them but not have others respond to you? But methinks not. And yes, you did come right out and say not to buy it.
In yet another post you claim, "
No... it's don't buy this because there are better (and cheaper) alternatives!", in reference to poster Lionvibez. Name a cheaper alternative to achieve the current best CPU in half the gaming titles. I'll wait. Again, the gaming throne matters. It always has and always will. Both AMD and Intel kicked out their latest CPUs for this very reason - the 5800X3D and the i9-12900KS. Let me say that again for emphasis - the best gaming CPU is
ALWAYS newsworthy - for both companies. And many of us consumers who love to game really like it that way. Imagine that!?!
Oh and one of those latter 2 CPUs mentioned just happens to cost a lot more than the other and that's if you didn't have to purchase a new platform of MB, RAM, possibly PSU and CPU.
Think, man.
Do note Techspot's own article(s) speaks to this as a gaming CPU beast, not a productivity one. I'm guessing other people who read English in these articles can read that too. Oddly enough there are quite a few gamers in the world who, to switch your own words around, "
if you are upgrading from a 1000/2000 system, you will not notice much of a difference gaming with a 5900X or 5800X3D... but you might notice how much faster your productivity apps run - 4 extra cores really matter...". Ummm,
no, most apps you won't much care about - but if you want THE current top of the line
gamer CPU on an AMD platform you might very well want this one. Duh! Who goes around benchmarking how fast their browser opens up or a folder or a picture or a song?
Now, as for your quote beginning, "
Here's a telling review from a different website I'll leave for you (and them) to peruse.
"
The 5800X3D has the same core architecture / IPC as the 5800X but it runs at lower clock speeds and has an extra 64MB of cache (96MB up from 32MB)...."
That's a quote from a user (just like you, me, and every other poster here and on other message boards) taken from
ht tps : cpu user benchmark dot com from someone with 207 posts about CPUs. I skimmed his/her posts noting all positive reviews on Intel CPUs/all negative on AMDs including all 3000 series and 5000 series. lol - OBVIOUS Intel fanboy. What would you expect from such a poster?
Now after some tit-for-tat between you and another user who both will evidently not be purchasing this CPU you state, "
So you accuse me of having an agenda because I have no interest in buying this CPU - but I am pointing out the flaws in this CPU... yet you come on here, also with no interest in this CPU and simply post that I have an agenda? What's YOUR agenda?"
I'll answer that. He/she did
not say you seem to have an agenda because "
I [YOU] have no interest in buying this CPU".
YOU insinuated he/she did. Correction - you outright said he/she did. That's like throwing out a red herring. You just based an argument on something you claim he/she said but he/she did not say that in such a context at all. wtf?
And although this thread may well continue, lastly you state, "...
you won’t notice the difference in 99% of usage..."
That's twice you've used this "99%" figure. Tech people like hard facts and truths. Where'd you get yours?
You've outright told people in this thread not to buy the 5800X3D and provided your reasoning (albeit with glaring holes and what seems blatant bias). Is that your end statement on the matter? Is there anything else you wish to add that can be so easily and demonstrably picked apart?
And then when someone asks if you have some ulterior motive you fabricate something they've stated and begin an argument on the matter? How disingenuous can you be?
Seriously, dude! Your view has been taken and decided on it would seem. Any more and it's looking like you've done more than enough to be irritating to others rather than just placing your opinion here on a friggin' piece of computer hardware that Techspot has seen fit to take the time and let us know about.
Why not just move along instead of arguing like some sorta' bought & paid for mainstream news network reporter with an obvious slant? It really gets annoying and tiresome, bro.
