AMD’s Ryzen 5800X3D is too flawed for consumer use (semiaccurate.com) 15 points by PaulHoule 4y ago ↗ HN
[–] echlebek 4y ago ↗ This is an awfully flamey article. The reason the chip is locked is because AMD is stupid? OK then. [–] [deleted] 4y ago ↗ (comment deleted)
[–] zibzab 4y ago ↗ I need a second opinion on this, the article sounds a bit click-baity to me.If L3 really is 4 cycles slower, how much does it _actually_ affect performance? Specially given that L3 can now be made much larger.
[–] FullyFunctional 4y ago ↗ Charlie is again spinning a tale based on slideware, nothing to see here. And contrary to his claims, I doubt that _most_ gamers actually overclocks, especially on AMD.Real reviews are out and it's doing ok overall (essentially at parity with 12900K (see eg. https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7-5800x3d-beats-intel-core-i9...) but of course you can arrange the benchmarks such that either wins.I think this is an interesting direction but not a slam dunk. Looking forward to the future iterations of this idea.
[–] testrun 4y ago ↗ This opinion piece is absolute garbage. Here is one review (video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIRWzMnfMPY
