Ryzen 9850X3D review: AMD's bragging-rights gaming CPU gets more to brag about

This text appears to be a review of the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, a high-performance CPU designed for gaming and content creation. Here's a summary of the key points:

**Pros:**

* Faster single-core performance compared to the 9800X3D
* Closing the performance gaps with non-3D-V-Cache Ryzen chips
* Reasonable power consumption and temperatures

**Cons:**

* The price of RAM, GPUs, and SSDs is currently high
* The Ryzen 7 9850X3D is not worth it compared to the 9800X3D in most cases
* Games and some workloads can use up to 30-40% more power

**Conclusion:**

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D offers a mild performance boost, but at a significant cost. Considering the high price of RAM, GPUs, and SSDs, it may not be worth upgrading to this CPU unless you're in a specific niche where high single-core performance is critical (e.g., server workloads or professional content creation).

In general, if you're looking for a budget-friendly option, the 9800X3D is still a good choice. However, if you're willing to pay more and prioritize high single-core performance, the 9850X3D may be worth considering.

**Target audience:**

This review is likely intended for enthusiasts who are interested in CPU upgrades for gaming and content creation. The language used is technical and assumes some level of knowledge about CPUs and their performance characteristics.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of 'upgrades' in today's fast-paced world 🤯. It's like, we're constantly chasing after the next big thing, only to find ourselves stuck in this never-ending cycle of consumption. And at what cost? The price of RAM, GPUs, and SSDs is already astronomical, but now we're expected to shell out even more for a CPU that's 'mildly' better than the last one 🤑.

It makes me wonder, are we really valuing performance over sustainability? Are we willing to sacrifice our planet's well-being for a few extra frames per second or a slight boost in productivity? I mean, think about it, what's the real value of a CPU if we're just going to waste resources on unnecessary upgrades? 🤔
 
I'm loving this new AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU, its single-core performance is insane 💥! I mean, it's not worth the money right now tho 🤑, those high-end RAM and GPU prices are still a bit crazy 😩. But for content creators or gamers who need that extra oomph, it might be worth splurging on 💸. Still, if you're looking to save a buck, the 9800X3D is still a great option 🤔.
 
I'm so confused by these prices they're talking about 🤑 like $1000+ for RAM, GPUs, and SSDs? That's just crazy! I mean, I know I need good hardware to do my gaming and content creation stuff, but that sounds like a lot of money 💸. For me, it's not worth it unless I'm really into those things and can see the performance boost 📈.

And yeah, I guess if you're in that niche where high single-core performance is key (like server workloads or pro content creation), then maybe the 9850X3D makes sense 💻. But for regular gamers and creators like me? The 9800X3D still seems like a good enough option 🤔.

Can someone explain to me how this all works out with the prices they are charging? I just want to make sure I'm making an informed decision before breaking the bank 😅.
 
idk why AMD would release a cpu that's only good for like 1-2% more performance than the 9800X3D 🤔...it just seems like they're targeting specific nerds who need high single-core performance, but not average gamers or creators who just wanna make some sick vids 📹. power consumption and temps are alright tho, that's what matters most to me 😎
 
I'm kinda torn about this new Ryzen 7 9850X3D... on one hand, it's nice to see AMD closing the gap with its non-3D-V-Cache chips, and the power consumption is actually pretty reasonable. But on the other hand, $500 for a CPU that's only gonna give you a tiny bit more performance than the 9800X3D? That's just not worth it for most people... unless you're some hardcore gamer or content creator who needs that extra oomph 🤔. And let's be real, the cost of RAM and GPUs is already pretty sky-high, so it feels like we're getting nickel-and-dimed here 😐. Still, I guess if you want the best single-core performance, this might be worth it... but for most folks, sticking with the 9800X3D would be a more sensible choice 💸
 
idk why they'd go all out on the 9850X3D like that... 30-40% more power? that's insane! I mean, I get it, high single-core performance is nice to have, but not worth the extra cost if it means burning through your power budget. and to be real, most gamers are gonna stick with their ryzen 9 5900x or whatever, they're already powerful enough for most games.
 
Ugh, great, just what we needed, another GPU to make our wallets cry 🤑. I mean, come on, AMD, can't you just give us a decent price tag for once? It's like they're trying to make us feel bad for wanting to upgrade our rigs 💸. And don't even get me started on the power consumption – 30-40% more power for some games and workloads? That's just ridiculous 🙄. I guess if you're in that niche server work thing or pro content creation, it might be worth the splurge, but for the rest of us, no thanks 🚫. Stick with the 9800X3D, trust me, your wallet (and your power bill) will thank you 💸
