5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and efficient CPU
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2024
The best CPU available today hands down. Uses barely any power while destroying any other CPU on the market. This one is also significantly better for productivity compared to its predecessor 7800x3d and supports full unlocked overclocking, resulting in even better performance and less temps when undervolting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Gaming CPU money can buy!
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024
Absolutely love this CPU. Removes any sort of CPU bottlenecking for games such as CS or Civilization. Super happy with the over clocking features, the more power efficient chip, and the cooler temps. Running this CPU with an AIO and getting super cool temps on idle and during harsh gameplay! So glad AMD came through on this one, excited to keep tinkering to get better performance. Although I would suggest probably going with cheaper AMD CPU options, there is no way to claim this CPU isn’t impressive. Super thankful for being able to snag this product for retail: anything over is crazy and not worth it in my opinion, just get a 7600x and save the money to dump into a better graphics card rather than pay exorbitant scalper fees. Overall, highly suggest if you can get it for retail, or if you are looking to upgrade to AM5. If not, just stick with cheaper options.

This is the best gaming CPU that money can buy as of late 2024. Performance is stellar in every game as well as non-gaming tasks. It has a lot of potential for overclocking and undervolding. It runs very cool with a dual tower air cooler. You don't need liquid cooling for this. If you can find one in stock for MSRP, go for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024
This is an incredible CPU.
Running rtx3080ti and on most games the GPU is maxed out at 100% usage and the CPU is chilling at 50C 40% usage.
Sounds overkill? No!
This CPU is a must for anyone into CPU intensive games; FS2024, BeamNG, Arma Reforger, VR (yes VR, do research to understand why)...etc.

The beauty of having a strong CPU is that if a game is unoptimized, you can play around with the graphic settings and see proper adjustments. When I had my 5900x before, it as nearly impossible to get better FPS, as you cannot change the fundamental computing process to a game.
And if you're wondering? No it does not run hot! (If properly applied). My 5900x was always running at 85C at 100% (undervolted), this thing runs at 75C at 100% auto OC'ed. It's incredible. (Using Corsair CaprillX 380 cooling block)

So, overall... into CPU intensive games? THIS IS A MUST!! Save your money from buying too crazy of a GPU and put more of that money to this guy... it's worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gaming cpu
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2024
So many reviews on this cpu, so wont say more but great for gaming and maybe video processing applications which could possibly use the large cache sizes. I bought this right when the cpus were sold out and was given a nov. 2x date but was then later pushed to dec19 lol. Then bought one from best buy who said theyre shipping nov 25 date, and tried to cancel the amazon one. They wouldnt let me and whatya know, they both came today nov23 lol. Guess my nephew gets a new gaming computer. Not complaining as it came early but wish they could have estimated delivery better. Anyways 5 stars for the cpu, building today with msi pro x870 and 6400cl32 memory from klevv. Will post if all works well together.

Probably the best CPU I've ever purchased and my first AMD. Extremely fast and runs so much cooler than other brands. It'll last me for years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best gaming processor
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024
I did a drop-in replacement on my X670E board after running a BIOS update and saw significant improvements in CPU-limited performance with Very High ray-tracing in Spider-Man: Remastered. The 9800x3D beats the 14900k by around 20%, with larger margins against the 285k. There's really no reason to to for a 7800x3D at this time given the very similar pricing. The 9800x3D is also the better all-around desktop PC since it can maintain much higher frequency due to the 3D cache placement under the CCD rather than on top of it.

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2024
Bought mine for $688 after tax. This is quite the expensive CPU, however I'm sure this CPU will be future proof for probably a decade. Meaning if it lasts me 10 years, I'm only paying about $.19/day for this beast.

Pros:
Best CPU in the world for consumers.
No issues, works perfectly and beyond.

Cons:
Expensive, wouldn't recommend buying +$700.
