It's just a back and forth honestly.

Intel is still the leader in standards and single-core performance which means we get better emulator support.

Does emulation (of newer consoles) still rely heavily on cpu or are they mostly gpu bound now?

It's a bit pricey for what you get. It's only like 10-15% faster than my 7700X that goes for half the price.

Slowest thing a computer does it manipulate memory.
More cache means doing less memory operations (load everything at once instead of a few at a time)
This makes it WAY faster at applications where memory is fucked with a lot, like games.
Intel still has better single core performance, but this means nothing if all those GHz are waiting around for the next game entity to be loaded into cache because it can only fit 1/4 as many as AMD.

>Why is it the best gaming CPU in the world?

Because Intel dropped the ball so hard that the ball went through the floor and into the gutter.
People found out that for the past 15 years, whenever you get BSOD... it was actually Intel's fault. But they would redirect blame to your driver or your GPU or some other shit. And everyone would believe them.
They should bow down low and apologize to every computer tech that had to deal with their BSOD bullshit. Wasting everyone's time for years. Fuck you Intel.

As someone who has a 9800x3d, the 7800x3d is a better option. 9800x3d is just overkill. Unless you are using it for non-gaming uses like AI shit or just buying it for the sake of future-proofing your rig, there is no reason to buy a 9800x3d. I've yet to see a game where my 9800x3d used more than 50% of its CPU utilization.

Skyrim only uses a single core so buying something like 9800 to play this pos is beyond retarded.

If you play on 1440p or a higher resolution it is mostly the same performance because the GPU will hit it's cap before the CPU.

All CPUs have a cache but AMD's 3D cache is basically a method of putting a bigger one in the cpu and this is accomplished thanks to their infinity fabric. A larger cache lets the cpu temporarily store more data for processing in at once and thereby increasing performance. You'll only see a difference when the cpu becomes the bottleneck. Competitive shooters for instsnce gain a huge amount of frames.
>>
>>721872480
stop with your poorfag cope. As a 9950x3d owner, theres a very real difference between owning this cpu and not. I bet you still use a 1080poverty monitor.

its fine for mid-tier rigs, if you have a current-gen gpu however, you will notice an improvement with a 9800x3d/9950x3d, but its not worth the upgrade cost for you, wait for the 10800x3d.

>>721880776
"Half its cores" is equal to the 9800X3D in core count. The 9950X3D is at worst equal to the 9800X3D, but it's faster than the 9800X3D in some games that actually use more than 8 cores like Battlefield 6.
The 9950X3D is like a 9800X3D and a 9700X put together. Only reason to not get it is if you don't care about the extra cores or if you aren't rich enough to afford it.
Even if you disable the CCD with less cache, you get the equivalent of a top binned 9800X3D that you can overclock to higher limits than a typical 9800X3D.
9800X3D is only the best gaming CPU in the world if you factor in cost for the "best" qualifier. The 9950X3D is better at actual gaming.
>>721882920
>games benefit from that because they have a million things going at once.
Not really. Games benefit from extra L3 cache because many game developers don't care about cache line access friendliness or memory access sequences that the CPU can predict. Has little to do with parallelism, which games famously don't do much of.
>>
>>721879717
You may be surprised at how much CPU an art first 2d platformer requires. Hell, it took a LOT of patches for Hollow Knight to stop putting UE5 to shame for stutters. Of course, you shouldn't *need* such a CPU, but in reality most of your PC gaming woes just go away when you overspend on hardware.

9950x3d in it's default state schedules cores onto the non 3d cache and destroys 1% lows
You literally need to install Xbox game bar and or process lasso to automatically tweak it to not destroy your performance while 9800x3d is plug and play and overclockable to match the 9950x3d's higher clocks
>>
whats a good intel cpu for gamingb
>>
>>721884181
That hasn't been an issue since the 7950X3D days (I owned one years ago when it was an issue). You can control which CCD is prioritised in the BIOS, either cache, frequency, or controlled by an OS driver.
>You literally need to install Xbox game bar
It's literally installed by default. It's a built in feature. This is like saying you need to install explorer.exe to get a desktop GUI on Windows, which is not how it works.
>overclockable to match the 9950x3d's higher clocks
Only if you got unusually lucky with a great 9800X3D. No silicon lottery required for the 9950X3D.
You also can't match the 9950X3D's higher clocks on the CCD without 3D V-Cache. This is why the 9950X3D is marketed as both for gaming and for productivity.

The real problem is that some games don't care about cache and just want higher clock speeds, so you have to install Process Lasso to avoid AMD's driver forcing games to use the 3D V-Cache CCD. That's the most annoying thing about getting better performance than the 9800X3D instead of equalling it.

Shouldn't require much any cpu unless they're using to render the sprites themselves. GPUs handle them much better specially with shaders involved. The coding for the game logic must be arrocious

Dunno. My last PC broke and I build a relatively powerful one (including the shit in the OP) that I wish will last me as last as the previous one, but considering the most taxing thing I use it for is a 13 year old MMO, I can't help but question if I really shouldn't have just spent half the money for something less powerful.

Still getting below 60 FPS in GW2 zergs by the way, although only occasionally.

>>
>>721888727
Whole AyyMD marketing team should get fired.
Each GPU generation has different naming scheme.
Chipset names or even CPU names made to confuse the user.
Normalfags can't wrap their head around that, for them it's always higher number = better.
