The Best CPUs - 2023 Update

Are you planning a 7900gre review, Steve ?

I've got the 7950X3D and it really is the ultimate CPU at the moment. It's shockingly power efficient for the performance, I went for it over the 7800X3D because I do a lot of Handbrake transcoding and like to mess about in the latest Unreal 5 Editor.

Due to its price, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who's primarily gaming, the 7800X3D is absolutely the king of the gaming hill at the moment, only built one machine with it so far but it really is the CPU to go for.

The AM5 platform as well, with at least another two generations of CPU's to be released on it, I don't know why you'd go Intel to be honest. Just means when I feel like upgrading the 7950X3D in 5-6 years time, I'll have something to upgrade to without changing anything else.

never saw it, I rarely watch yt. it's not on techspot or the forum.

Though during summer Intel processors make too much heat for a comfortable usage, excluding Alaska and Antarctica.

never realized it, despite using an i7 for 4 years or so, that I'm not supposed to use a 30-70w cpu in central europe.
