Confirmed 7600x3d exclusive from Microcenter...
The R7 7800X3D needs a price reduction. In 2024, paying over $300 for a 6-core CPU isn't reasonable. Consider opting for the 8-core version instead.
Speculation: 9800x3D priced at $450, 7800x3D at $7800, $350, 7600x3D at $250. This wouldn't change the assumed lead of 9800x3D, but it wouldn't turn it into a huge deal unless it significantly outperforms the 7800x3D.
If it means more development on the X3D 9000 line, I’m glad because I’d like to own one.
The 9700x offers solid headroom in its stock setup, suggesting a noticeable frequency increase beyond what’s expected. Alongside this, Zen5 delivers strong clock speed improvements. A 20% boost seems reasonable, but I’m skeptical the extra $100 for the 7800x3D will justify it.
