AMD's latest Ryzen chip, the 9850X3D, is still the best CPU for high-end gaming, according to a recent review. While it boasts a higher max boost clock speed of 5.6 GHz compared to its predecessor, the 9800X3D, the difference in performance is negligible when it comes to actual gaming.
In synthetic benchmarks like Cinebench R23, the 9850X3D scored slightly higher than the 9800X3D, but this advantage is unlikely to be noticeable in real-world use. The review suggests that even in demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, where high frame rates are essential, the difference between the two chips is less than 2 percent.
The reviewer notes that if you already have a 9800X3D, there's no reason to upgrade to the 9850X3D. The additional $30 price tag may be justified by the potential for future performance gains, but it's unlikely to make a significant difference in your gaming experience.
Instead, the review recommends considering other factors like the inclusion of a free game or a moderate discount on the older chip. For those looking to upgrade, the 9850X3D is still an excellent option, offering a great balance of performance and price.
However, for existing 9800X3D owners who are looking to keep costs down, buying the same CPU now may not be the best decision, given the minimal difference in performance. The reviewer concludes that the choice ultimately comes down to whether the potential for future performance gains is worth the additional $30 price tag and any associated costs or trade-offs.
In summary, while AMD's 9850X3D boasts a higher max boost clock speed than its predecessor, the difference in performance is negligible when it comes to actual gaming. For existing 9800X3D owners, upgrading may not be worth the additional cost, but for those looking to upgrade or considering other factors like future performance gains, the 9850X3D remains an excellent option.

it's supposed to be super good! I mean, have you tried their spicy truffle sauce? it's crazy! Anyway, back to CPUs... AMD is still killing the game with these Ryzen chips 
but for those who already got a 9800X3D, I think I'd rather spend my cash on something fun like a new gaming monitor or a sweet graphics card. Plus, have you seen those new gaming mice? 
so cool!
I gotta say, I'm kinda surprised by this review 
. I mean, AMD's been hyping up their new Ryzen chip and now it seems like not that big of a deal 
. I'd still wanna know more about what's really driving performance gains in games nowadays... maybe some new tech from NVIDIA? 
Anyway, if you're on the fence about upgrading or don't already have the 9800X3D, I reckon the 9850X3D is still a solid choice 
. Just keep an eye out for those future performance gains 
!
, which sounds like a dream come true for gamers. But honestly, I've been playing games at high settings for ages without noticing a huge difference in performance 
. The review says the difference is less than 2 percent, which kinda blows my mind 
. And $30 more? That's just not worth it to me unless they're throwing in some sick free game or discount on the older chip 
.
. It's all about weighing the pros and cons and deciding what matters most to you 
.
But for those who already have an X3D, upgrading now might be a stretch. Maybe consider other perks like free games or discounts on older chips instead? 
It's all about weighing the pros and cons...
. The price difference is only $30, so if you already have the 9800X3D, I wouldn't say it's worth upgrading just for the sake of having the newer chip 
. Maybe they should include that free game or discount on the older chip instead? 
If you already have the 9800X3D, there's no reason to break the bank for something that's not gonna make a huge impact on your gaming experience. Unless... unless AMD is planning some crazy new tech and this $30 price tag is just a "hey, we're coming for ya" wink-wink 
anyway, I guess what this review is saying is that there's not really a 'best' CPU - it just depends on our individual needs and priorities. but I think that's kinda profound... 
.
that's not gonna make or break your game experience, you know? for people who already have the older chip, I wouldn't say its worth the extra $30. its just an added cost without much payoff. 
. For those seeking a balance of performance and affordability, the 9850X3D is still an excellent choice, but for those who've already invested in the 9800X3D, it might not be worth the extra cost, at least not yet 
.
its not about being a hardline tech enthusiast, its about having fun with your games and not breaking the bank
