Verdict — Ryzen 9 9950X3D
The first X3D chip that isn't a compromise. If you're doing both content creation and gaming, this is the chip to buy — no more choosing between core count and V-cache.
Verdict — Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Displaced by the 9800X3D at the top of gaming charts, but only barely and often for less money. Excellent choice if the 9800X3D is out of stock or priced badly.
