Does it make sense to buy 7900X over 9900X considering 7900X will get much cheaper in coming days?

So, there is a gap in the lineup and the same core count – but no one noticed.
They won’t be releasing two 8-core CPUs at once. Nor do they care to make 10 core ones to bridge the gap – cause can’t.

I have a 7800x3d. Definitely gonna wait for the next X3D version.

Seems disappointing? I’m already on a 7900x and I really see no reason to even consider upgrading, there’s just nothing really new here.

Hmmm do I upgrade to a 7800x3d or a 9700x…..

So I built my current machine at the start of the pandemic using a 3700x, i’m thinking now is about the right time to update.
The big question is that with EVGA gone who do i go with for a GPU with good/domestic support? (tend to do x60 model cards and don’t know Team red’s scaling but would consider a switch for the right deal)

Even 7600 is an overkill for me. I will wait for 2027 and beyond, lol

I’m riding my 3950x until it dies lol

Now the real question is since my X370 broke and I wanna upgrade my PC anyways do I go get a new mobo and 5800x3d or jump to AM5

16% ipc is nice, but I’m already satisfy with the 7600

Just waiting for the next gen cards to drop and then I’m building a new rig and giving mine to the kids. 3070/5600X, still a decent machine but does struggle to run many of the most modern games at 4K/60+.

Intel is removing hyperthreading on their mainstream CPUs AGAIN?

I’m curious about the full spec 8 core xrd cpu.

7800X3D never looked so good. Fixing to upgrade out of this 4790k finally 💀

Now we can predict Userbenchmark post about this.

Cries in 2700x lol — time for an upgrade

So wait 7900X has 170W and 9900X has only 120W?
Doesn’t that mean low temps but also lower performance?

I’m excited for them. I hope they will drop the X3D versions too. It will be very interesting to compare.

Literally the day after I buy a 7800X3D, great

No X3D release date?
No 9800X?
