Yeah looks like it should be a nice leap in performance from my 5900x. I'll wait for some 4K benchmarks to come out though, I'd like to see what performance i can actually expect in game instead of these arbitrary CPU limited scenarios.

TechPowerUp's review has 4K tests at the highest settings with a 4090 and the improvement is very small over the 7800X3D and even your 5900X.

It seems like it's not worth upgrading to if you play at the highest resolution and settings for the best visual quality, but may be worth it if you play on more modest settings (lower resolution or with DLSS, on High settings, maybe RT off) to achieve higher framerates.

The 9800X3D is selling out while the rest of the generation is gathering dust on shelves.

Maybe they will finally understand that actual performance uplifts=sales.

It'll probably be in and out of stock for the next month or two. Good for me, as I'm getting parts late Jan/early Feb.
