Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

At stock, 7800X3D and 13900/14900 are very close except for some games where 3D cache gives a huge advantage. But the Intel systems have more untapped potential for expert users.
I just got a 7950X3D. Been very satisfied with it so far but it’s not very overclockable even tho temps are well controlled in my system. On an Intel system, performance could be much better than stock as long as the heat is under control. Memory also isn’t very tweakable on AM5 so far. Most AM5 systems are gonna be around 6000 for memory.
