  • AMD just made choosing a CPU much easier.  Or much harder, depending on your perspective.  (Tom's Hardware)

    The 9000 series CPUs were - at their launch two months ago - overpriced for their performance relative to the existing 7000 series.  They are actually great on some server-oriented tasks, but the improvement since the last generation for desktop tasks and gaming is relatively small.

    AMD has adjusted the pricing to match.  the 9900X is 6% faster than the 7900X on PassMark, for example, and now costs 8% more.

    For me, good enough.  That will be my next CPU.

    If you're more interested in games or have a specific workload that loves large caches, the 9800X3D is due out this week and should also deliver great performance.
