Willow N. Used for: 1–3 months
Cons
Runs warm under load
Comment
Superb gaming chip. Runs hotter than expected though
Daisy S. Used for: 1–3 months
Pros
Dropped onto my existing AM5 board
Comment
Straight swap on the same AM5 board, flawless
Freya H. Used for: 6–12 months
Comment
Paired with a 240 AIO and 64GB of DDR5 at 6000, this has been the most trouble free upgrade I have done on AM5. The X3D cache is the whole reason to buy it and it earns the money in the right games. Anything with a big simulation running underneath, city builders, grand strategy, the flight sims, feels like it has been given room to breathe. Frame rates in shooters went up too but less dramatically, because at 1440p the graphics card runs out first. Six months on, what surprised me most is how sane it is about power. Under an all core load it pulls less than the Intel part it replaced and never wanders past the mid seventies. My case fans have not spun up in anger since I fitted it.
Rosie A. Used for: More than a year
Pros
Never the bottleneck in a year
Cons
Nothing in the box but the chip
Comment
It has never once been the bottleneck in anything I play. Cooler is your own problem though.
Noah S. Used for: Less than a month
Pros
Big jump in lows over the 5800X3D
Cons
Temperature spikes fast, so smooth your fan curve
Comment
Replacing a 5800X3D and an AM4 board meant the whole platform changed at once. Boot times are shorter, the memory runs at 6000 without fuss, and in the two games I bothered to measure the average is up about a quarter with the lows up more than that. My only grumble so far is heat density. It is not that it runs hot exactly, it is that it heats up and cools down faster than anything I have had, so the fan curve needs smoothing or you get surging. Three weeks of tuning that curve and I have it about right now.
Jack D. Used for: 3–6 months
Pros
Excellent in games, if you can justify the price
Comment
It does what it says on the tin for gaming. Where I have landed on four stars rather than five is value. The gap to the cheaper X3D part is a lot of money for a difference I mostly cannot see at 1440p, and I say that as someone who went looking for it in the frame time graphs.
Maya N. Used for: More than a year
Comment
The processor itself has been faultless, so the four stars are about the platform rather than the chip. AM5 boards that can properly feed a part like this are not cheap, and neither is the cooler you have to add, so the real spend was well beyond the ticket price. Worth it in the end, but budget honestly.
Leo K. Used for: 6–12 months
Pros
Completely stable from the first boot, nine months without a crash
Cons
The games where the cache pays off are fewer than you think
Comment
This is a very good processor that I am not sure I needed. Start with what is good. It is fast, it is efficient for what it delivers, and on an AM5 board with a decent memory kit it has been completely stable from the first boot. No crashes, no odd behaviour after a chipset driver update, nothing. Eight months of that now. The catch is that the games where the cache matters are a narrower set than the reviews suggest. In a shooter at high refresh you will see it. In a simulation you will see it. In most other things, at anything above 1080p, you are watching your graphics card work while the processor coasts. I ran the numbers against a friend's cheaper eight core part and the gap in half our shared library was inside the margin of error.
