Apologies for the late vid, still emotionally recoving from the recent US news

Either way, AMD is killing it with the gaming performance gains with their newest 9800X3D CPU!

    it’s the new gaming king! Still riding high on my 5800X3D personally, that was a GOAT purchase. I know the AM5 counterparts are beating it out on all the charts, but videos like this highlight how it is still better than the majority of CPUs when it comes to gaming performance.

    One ridiculous outlier is Baldur’s Gate 3 on the 9800X3D with a 26.9% performance gain over the 7800X3D. Truly ridiculous

        like what was the tech that caused such a leap? They talk about how they switched up the x3D cache configuration - it used to be stacked above the main part of the chip with some sort of insulation in between, but they found a way to remove the insulation and put the 3D cache on the underside of the chip. I’m no expert and i watched the video yesterday, so sorry if that explanation isn’t clear. Effectively, they found a way to bring the 3D cache “closer” to the cores, which shortens the time it takes for the cores to communicate with the cache.
