This is the Ryzen 7 9850X3D I’m talking about in the video — the newer X3D chip that’s about 7% faster at stock. I still recommend it if you’re buying brand new, but you should absolutely undervolt and overclock it so it runs better and you’re not leaving free performance on the table.
You'll be taken to Amazon to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Around 7% faster at stock vs the previous X3D chip
- +Small MSRP increase for the performance bump
- +Still easy to cool with air or a basic 240mm AIO
Cons
- -Less tuning headroom because it’s binned closer to its limit
- -Tuned-vs-tuned gains over the cheaper option can shrink to ~3.5%
