Faster at what? Productivity tasks? For some yes, for others not as much.Is it much faster or faster at all than a Intel i9 14900k ?
May compare the two but not sure if it is worth it.
Can get it tomorrow but big but I am worried it is a waste of time.
Faster at what? Productivity tasks? For some yes, for others not as much.
For gaming? Generally not as fast, but the 7800X3D with 6000 C30 RAM is faster than the 14900K (even with 7600 C36 RAM) and the 7950X for gaming.
If your primary goal is gaming, and you want the best for gaming - 7800X3D with 6000 C30 RAM.General tasks like bootup, loading screen of programs or games, gaming, etc
Mostly.

Although, do your research on motherboards. I went Asrock for my 7800X3D, specifically the X670E Steel Legend, because it had such good user reviews compared to all other brands. And be sure to update to the latest BIOS to ensure better startup times (RAM training got better after initial boot/BIOS settings change).
I wouldn't touch Asus. They tried to screw over their customers by not only having too high of an SOC voltage that fried X3D chips, but they tried to weasel out of it by putting warranty void language in the beta BIOS "fix" (aka, following what AMD said was the max SOC voltage).Is a Asus mobo ok for a AMD processor ?
If you have a 14900K then this is a complete waste of time. Tweak your 14900K and it might beat out even a 7800X3D in games.
I was considering a similar move but to the other side - going from a 7800X3D to a 14900K. After running some benches with another forum member he was 4-9% faster in 4 games we tested. However, he was running 6 GHz all core plus memory tweaked to 8000+. Meanwhile I was running 7800X3D with -15 PBO and tweaked memory. No FSB overclocking.
Games we tested at 4K were Cyberpunk, AC Mirage, SOTTR and RDR2
Game 7800X3D 14900K - 4K max settings 4090 @ 2800 MHz
RDR2 120 124
AC Mirage 125 131
Cyberpunk 2077 72 74
SOTTR 176 192
Shadow was only game that really favored his setup with high memory bandwidth. Same game on another person’s stock 14900K was scoring 169 FPS. 1% lows and everything else was a wash as well.
For me to do this “upgrade” was another 700$ out of pocket expense since I would need a new 1700 LGA AIO and also get a shit price for selling my AMD. So I decided against it.
Hope this helps.
If you are building a new PC on a budget and for gaming then 7800X3D is the way to go. You can build it for as low as 600$ with a B650 board and some MC deal.
For Intel the minimum you need to shell out is about a 1000$ unless you build with 14700K. So up to you.
7950X is great for productivity but the windows scheduler issues are very real and so is microstutter. 7950X3D is a joke also due to said scheduling issues.
A couple of people I know shifted from 7950X3D to a 14900K and are happy.
For gaming it is a toss up if your windows scheduler is working correctly. On 7950X3D one CCD is used for gaming only and if your game is not dedicated to that CCD you may face microstutter. This is not an issue with 7800X3D since it has only one CCD which is dedicated to gaming.
For productivity, 7950X is better buy since to my knowledge it has slightly higher clock speed and also is overclockable (a little bit if it matters) than a 7950X3D. You can make a 7950X3D work as advertised but it takes what I call "needless effort" to get things to run correctly.

P.S. He was running a 650$ Apex board whereas I am running a 270$ Tomahawk.
Hope this helps.
