There's the speed of light...then the 9800X3D!

by OldCrowExpress star star star star star

I struggled to decide between waiting on the 9800X3d or going with the 7800X3D. I finally decided to wait, and I am so pleased I did. This chip is so fast, you have to experience it. Not just game performce, every peice of software I run, from Hyper-V to Visual Studio to YouTube/Twitch at high res....everything just runs so fast. Even with an older RTX306012GB card, it still powers through. If, like me, you're not sure....just get one! This is the way!

Ryzen 7 9800X3D review:

by Ish star star star star star

— Super fast delivery for a pre-order, especially compared to alternative parties — Definitively the beast of gaming for a CPU, nothing in the current market quite compares (just make sure to buy a good cooler to optimise its performance) — Cheapest online price I could find Although it is naturally on the more expensive side; its quality more than makes up for it, I would highly recommend and I am very happy with my purchase

Amazing service and great product
