I picked up a 7900X3D last week, I wanted the X3D cache for Rust (the game). Since upgrading from a 5900 I have gone from 90ish FPS to 200FPS, no graphics card upgrade just CPU. I've seen some media/youtube reviews that don't recommend these CPU's because of the whole CCU debacle, but this is easily the best CPU I have had in years. I wanted 12 cores as a minimum for running VM's compiling PostgreSQL etc, only reason I didn't get the 7950X3D is they were out of stock.
