words cannot describe how good this processor is. AMD has fixed the temperature issues by moving the cache do a different location and t hat allows the CPU to run cooler, clock higher and you can finally overclock it and see actual gains!
They took X3D and turned them from "just gaming" cpus to actual high end processors, gone are the days where X3D chips were clocked lower than regular non x3d variants! X3D is now a higher end version of the regular X chips,
this CPU has surpassed the 13600k/7700x in productivity and it currently is the best GAMING cpu in the world by a metric ton. It even beats a max overclocked 14900k system with super high ram speeds in gaming! (at 1/3 the cost if you manage to find it for its actual MSRP of 500 euro)
gaming:10/10
productivity:7/10
overclocking:7/10 (amd needs to finally put a better IOD and make the infinity fabric clock faster than 2200mhz)
cooling:a 40 euro air cooler is MORE than enough for this beast of a cpu
The only "con" about this processor is that ever since amd has released X3D people have started recommending ONLY x3d chips and nothing else, in reality you do NOT need a X3D chip in order to play games at high fps, even competitive gamers that play exclusively on 1080p360hz low settings don't need X3D, if you can afford it and WANT it then good for you but the vast majority of people can have a GREAT experience on just a 7600/9600x. If you need 8 cores then get a regular 7700x/9700x there is no reason to break the bank and get a X3D chip just because they're the best.
Also the price is outrageous, since when did greek stores become ebay 2.0? sue these companies
