It seems that Nvidia CEO Jensen "It Just Works" Huang is under a lot of stress. His company basically lost half their value during the last couple of months, RTX-sales are slow, they still sit on a shit-ton of GP104's due to the utter miscalculation of banking on mining (which is why it's possible to buy brand new 1060'ies (which originally used GP106-cores) with GDDR5X-support.

Hmm, what's the difference? LGA 1700 supported three generations. Sure, they were largely the same CPU with various improvements on subsequent generations.
That's precisely the difference. The promise now is not just the tock refreshes, but true generations as well. We'll see. There is no reason to trust Intel, but I think they are trying. Their latest mobile CPUs are good, and it seems they are getting their game on again for desktop and high-end desktop.
It's been 10 years? I've only upgraded to a 5700x3d like 18 months ago. It's still a great CPU and performs great on all games (except on 4k maybe, but I only use WQHD).

Its the other way around. The CPU becomes less important the higher the resolution is and the more you are GPU bound. It mostly impacts lows though.
Anyway, I'm still using an AM4 X370 Mobo by Gigabyte no less and due to bios updates it performs better now than when I bought it. The 5800X3D is still good enough for all my gaming needs as well. I just don't feel the need to upgrade at all.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
It’s not intended for gaming. Here is one market that will benefit: video game server farms. Those benefit from high CPU clock, so Epyc/Threadripper/Xeon type CPUs with many but slower cores aren’t as good fit. Each instance is lightly threaded. So pinning a different instance to a specific core would net a great benefit.
But yes, it's useful for some pro/workstation situations.
Gamers should definitely skip it. If you're not using it as a workstation CPU it's completely pointless and really dumb since paying an extra $200 for 1-6% performance increase is just ridiculous.
Games don’t really see an increase since the slowdown comes from the interconnect between the two CCDs, which is very slow. A modern Windows (with the help of Game Bar) pins games to the cache CCD to prevent interconnect slowness.
Gamers Nexus has really become a silly little outrage machine, looking to grift from one “outrage” to another for clicks. In their previous video they cry how they’ve been “BLACKLISTED” by AMD, because they, like most others, were not sent free 9950X3D2.

I still prefer GN over the other tech news channels I know of. The data they give is (afaik) legit and more in-depth than your average pc tech channel. Yes, they've definitely become more "entertainment" focused as far as Steve's style is concerned and can use their platform to for venting purposes.
Anyone with a 9800X3D and Noctua NH-D15 (G2) can tell me what are ya guys' IDLE, LOAD and STRESS temps? (Try to close STEAM if ya have it on)
ASUS X570 TUF GAMING PLUS, 32GB DDR4@2666 ,RYZEN 5800X3D (NO OC),GIGABYTE RTX 4070 Super GAMING OC, Western Digital Blue 4TB 5400RPM + SAMSUNG 860 EVO 500+1TB GB SSDs , OEM SATA DVD 22xNoctua NH-D15 Chromax Black, BenQ XL2420T Case: Be Quiet! DARK BASE PRO 901. PSU CORSAIR RM1200 SHIFT
I don't know why, but with my Be quiet! Dark Rock 3, the idle temperatures are 53°C+. I've already tried different coolers and thermal pastes, now i'am using Thermal Grizzly - PhaseSheet PTM.
Also my cooler needs more rpm then my old setup which was 8700k, it's annoying
Not for gaming, "DO NOT BUY", "who'd buy this crap???", and still outsells Intel on Amazon
Not everyone only games on them
I don't know anyone that are friends of mine that only game on their PC anymore.
They all do CPU intensive things like: music production, video editing for uploads of gaming, streaming while gaming, Vmware/Virtual machines for stuff, Ai stuff, MP server hosting for gaming, while playing on it too.
So while it may be overkill "If you only game and that's it" who only uses a PC for games anymore now a days?

Yeah, even kids these days don’t “just game”, they stream, they encode, they run electron garbage like Discord , etc.
The mythical “gaming only PC” is a nonsense term that hasn’t existed in a decade and a half, if not more.
But this CPU specifically is very peculiar, in that not many productivity tasks see benefit from the added cache. You see this with a standard 9950X and 9950X3D. Games and very few specialized tasks see benefit. This one is even more niche.
The post you quoted was just mocking the tardo utub “influencers” that got butthurt they didn’t get sample hardware, so they poopooed on it, thinking they have the clout to move the needle on sales.
Im with ya on the sentiment, With a PC using it for just gaming is rare, and most people dont need it, getting top end hardware, thats like buying a ferrari and "I enjoy going outside and using the cup holders for my drinks"
hell 95% of people don't need a 9x00 or 9x003d, Most don't even need a 7800x3d.
I get them (or did before my job situation) because its only one of two outlets for my expendable money: My PC and my Garage tools. I don't goto movies, don't go out to eat, go out to drink once a month with friends, and thats like $40. (Vanilla Vodka and Coke in a glass goes a long way).
But my 9800x3D should last me a loong while, while I work out a job and getting more fun money.
Even avi is still rocking a 7950x3D and he owns a custom PC store. He sees no use in more.
