Either way, AMD clearly has the ability to make the 7800X3D boost further, but instead gamers have to pay the extra money for eight largely unused CPU cores to get it.
The ignorance here misleads readers. The 7950X3D has one die that can boost up to 5.7 GHz because it doesn’t have the 3D cache, which is sensitive to heat. The die with the 3D cache doesn’t boost that high.
Not only that, but the design of the 7950X3D can cause latency problems in gaming that aren’t an issue on the 7800X3D.
Only if you don’t bother to select which cores the game runs on. If you feel you must buy the top-of-the-line model with two sets of cores built for different purposes, and want to get the most out of it, I think it’s fair to expect you to learn how to use it. It’s not difficult.
