9800X3D reviews are out now, TLDR:

Code:

HUB, 14 game average, 4900 @ 1080p, FPS uplift compared to:

7800X3D -> +11%
 14900K -> +27%
  9700X -> +29%
   285K -> +33%


TPU, FPS per Watt:

7800X3D: 4.3
9800X3D: 3.3 (yes, it got worse)
  9700X: 2.6
   285K: 2.0
 14900K: 1.3

Pretty wild CPU for gaming. 33% faster while being 65% more power efficient per frame vs Intel's newest gen is mind boggling. Reminds me of Intel Core vs AMD Bulldozer times.

The latest Intel's are very bad at gaming.
At this point it's basically a competition with its previous gen AMD's 7000s.
