Now the 7800X3D reviews are coming out it seems clear that it’s the easy bang for buck winner here. The amount of cache per core vs the number of cores comes out in favour of the 7800X3D for MSFS. Not having to park the second set of cores and the simplicity that brings may also be a factor which may or may not improve with time for those CPU’s that require it. I’m waiting for the 7800X3D however long that takes.
