Hey everyone, do you recall the excitement from last summer about the 9600X3D? I was quite impressed, though it seems it didn’t stick around. We’ve seen other affordable x3d chips, so I’m not upset. Still curious why it faded from the headlines again.

In the end, these products are only there to mix things up and take advantage of buyers, which isn't really changing anything, but it definitely keeps people puzzled, deceived, and hurt.

Consensus reached. The situation is clear—I can install various processors like the 12th, 13th, 14th, Ultra 200 line, 5800x3d, or Ryzen 7000/9000 series CPUs, and you'll enjoy a solid experience provided the system has at least six performance cores. If I disable the frame counter and hide the PC, it’s unlikely you’d notice the internal components. X3D chips are especially suited for gaming, though they come with a significant price increase. I wouldn’t choose a 7900x3d/9900x3d/7600x3d or similar high-end options; instead, I prefer 8 or 16-core non-X3D chips from the 7000/9000 series for better multitasking capability. The 7000 and 9000 non-X3D models are likely interchangeable with minimal differences. The 9000x3d offers overclocking and higher clock speeds than the 7000x3d, thanks to cache placement, making it a worthwhile upgrade for enthusiasts. Both series perform well. Many praise the newer generations, but in budget builds you can often find a 12600k for under $100 or refurbished units, which is acceptable except at the very top end. The Ultra 200 line is usually overpriced, but deals are common, especially in prebuilt configurations. The 265kf CPU typically retails between $200–220, either alone or bundled, making it a reasonable choice for gaming. I’d favor that option over a hypothetical 9600x3d priced around $300 with half the performance and fewer threads. For a 9600x3d to be viable, it would need to cost $220–250, which doesn’t seem feasible. That’s why I think it’s not practical. Edit: It’s getting frustrating to see systems like the 5060ti/9600xt with 16GB RAM paired with a 7800x3d/9800x3d. Please consider upgrading to something like the 9070xt/5070ti or a 265kf/Ryzen 7700/9700 instead.
