Freya F. Used for: Less than a month
Pros
No more scheduling roulette between the two dies
Cons
Wants a 360 AIO and a board to match
Comment
The point of the Dual Edition becomes obvious quickly: cache on both dies means Windows can put a game anywhere and it still runs right. That was my one gripe with the previous sixteen core X3D part and it is simply gone. Sixteen cores, no scheduling roulette. It does want a serious cooler, mine is a 360.
Harry K. Used for: 3–6 months
Pros
Never had to restart a game to get it on the right die
Cons
78 degrees under full load even on a 360
Comment
The machine has not once needed a restart to make a game behave, which sounds like faint praise until you have owned a dual die chip that did. Sixteen cores available for work, full cache for play. Runs at 78 under an all core load on a 360.
Isla E. Used for: More than a year
Pros
Cache on both dies is worth twenty percent to my simulation code
Cons
The price is frankly silly
Comment
In a workstation that also gets used for games at the weekend, this has justified a frankly silly price. The work case first. Sixteen cores with cache on both sides means my simulation code, which is memory bound and hated the old split arrangement, runs about twenty percent faster than core count alone would predict. Long runs that used to be an overnight job finish before I leave. Games are the bonus. It is within a frame or two of the dedicated gaming chips in everything I have tried, and after a year I no longer keep a second machine for them.
Maya P. Used for: 1–3 months
Cons
Premium over the standard part is hard to justify
Comment
Fast, no question, but the premium over the standard 9950X3D is hard to justify for a gamer
Leo C. Used for: More than a year
Pros
Replaced two machines with one
Cons
Eye watering price
Comment
Hammered constantly with renders and it has not put a foot wrong. Eye watering money, but it replaced two machines here.
Oliver W. Used for: More than a year
Pros
Editing, background renders and evening gaming all on one machine
Comment
This sits in a video editing machine, and I want to be fair to it because it is a genuinely remarkable processor sold at a genuinely absurd price. What it does well is everything. Exports, effects preview, background renders while I keep working, and then games in the evening at frame rates I would have said needed a dedicated gaming build. Nothing I have asked of it has been a struggle, and it has been completely stable at 6000 on the memory from the very first boot. That is thirteen months in, most of it to deadlines. The four stars are entirely about money. For what the premium over the standard sixteen core part costs, most people would get more from spending it on storage or a better display. I do not regret it, but I would not pretend it is sensible.
