If you can find a deal on it, it is a wonderful gaming/productivity CPU. It is not as fast as the 7800X3D when gaming, as only 6 of the cores have the 3D cache. The other 6 cores are the standard Zen 4 cores with non-3D cache.
Be sure to update your AMD chipset drivers, and set your power plan in Windows 11 to “balanced” to get the best use of the gaming cores.
This is a surprisingly great chip if you get it for the correct price. Wait for it to be on sale and you won’t be sorry!
