AMD 5800X3D performance

It does look great, but Linus tech Tips numbers need a healthy dose of salt. They’re also showing the 12700K out performing the 12900K, and the 12900KS having a ~15% bump over the 12900K. Neither of those things should happen, which lead me to suspect their methodology overall.

The French reviewers numbers look a little more rigorous, in which case the 5800X3D is indeed the king! Very interesting to see Cache overturn a clock speed deficit like that.

AMD do also have a habit of making CPUs like this ‘vaporware’. That is they appear in reviews and on the shelves for a week, then disappear forever (see also 3300X). This is a unique and hard to make product… I’d be amazed if they sit in stock!
