Plus the early leaks showing the 78 with the same gaming performance as the other two so that extra cache and clock speed doesn't appear to gain anything.
It would be pretty obvious. Can't see the 7900 or 7950 3d doing that much different than the 7800.
You'll get the "I must have the current thing" andies. buying those things.

That’s because the higher clocks are only on the secondary CCD without the extra cache. The 7950x3d CCD with the 3D cache isn’t going to clock much, if any, higher than the 7800x3d. For gaming, the 7800x3d is clearly the chip to get. The other two only make sense if you’re doing heavy production and also sometimes game on the same system.

Yep, unless you absolutely need more cores for work or something. Otherwise just have some patience and wait a bit longer.

Yep. My 4770k has lasted this long, it can last another several months.
Although, I do need to replace...

AMD is ‘undershipping’ chips to keep CPU, GPU prices elevated This also came out today so.
This has been known for a while, for both companies. Nvidia has been accused of flat out stopping production of the 3080 to prop up their other skus, which they would then trickle out. frickery from both companies, unfortunately.

It should be stopping by now is the thing, Lisa said Q1.
Everyone predicted a late January price correction and here we are still.

I don’t know about everyone. Most of the chatter I heard was Q1, but I was generally thinking mid to late Q1. I think I even had a few posts on here to that effect.

Went ahead and ordered a couple of things.
CPU cooler
RAM
Not on sale, but I always get a price match w/i 30 days. The RAM always seems to be OOS. Have to jump in while it's still available.
Eying this mobo. I'll wait for a sale tho.

It’s a solid cooler, but damn, that’s a spicy price for air cooling
Posted on 2/3/23 at 5:41 pm to Joshjrn
Yes it is.
The assassin cooler is like 7-8 dbs louder and only 1-2c hotter. I hate noise.
For only 1/3 of the price. I'm anal about cpu coolers.

Any reason you don't want to go AIO?
Posted on 2/3/23 at 6:38 pm to Joshjrn
Didn't we already have an argument about those?
I have a phobia about those fricking things. Realistic or not.

I’m spoiled on Lian Li fans. I don’t even care if they perform the best. I never want to deal with another cable rat’s best again
Posted on 2/14/23 at 8:02 pm to Joshjrn
well, they're(noctuca) 11 bucks cheaper than the corsair case fans that are in there.
There's some other fans they have that are 3 dbs less, but cost 37.99 each.

Ended up retiring my 1080p projector setup after a bulb blew in it and bought a 85" Samsung QN90b tv as a replacement, just an incredible deal for it through AAA/Samsung program (didnt even know it existed).
Hooked up the Ps5 and PC to it and holy hell is it awesome for gaming. I really need to get a current/last gen card to get 4k/120 working on it. My 5700 XT will only go up to 4k/60 through HDMI 2.0b. TV has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports on it which is nice for the future.
