    Difference is, they're wildly power inefficient in comparison, and the new Intel CPUs are at the very end of their lifespan, so you'll likely have to buy a new mobo and other parts next year if you want to stick with Intel. So it's weighing whether you want to have that or jump to the new gen. Personally speaking, if I'm going to spend that much on upgrading, I may as well go all in.

    Only real downside atm is that the new AMD mobos are still rather expensive, and the 3D V-Cache versions are reportedly going to be introduced at CES in early January, so you'll want to weigh what will be greater gaming performance and other factors if you buy one of these.

    Aren't these cpus slower than new intels and you need a new mobo and ram.

    While 13 gen is backwards compatible with existing mobo and ddr4/5 ram…

    Yes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw2X451j4O4

    No longer includes heatsink/fan, though.

    A tiny bit cheaper, at $459, at newegg. The 7950x is also +$100 everywhere now, not sure if it's worth the extra cost though.

    I'm starting to feel like these chips had such a high MSRP so they could slash prices for the holidays and we are seeing the actual prices now.

    I'm sure Intel is good, but after their monopolistic ways, went with Ryzen and never looked back.

    For gamers, Intel's 13th gen has better cost per frame in games (ref: Hardware Unboxed). There are some productivity workloads where 7900x comes out at top, but if you need all the cores you can get, you might as well upgrade to the 7950x.

    If it wasn't for intel, I don't think we'd see nearly as much drop in price. Yay competition!

    EDIT: See Hardware Unboxed latest video on how these price cuts have made AMD much more competitive with Intel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5X0RuduRdU

    I'm on R5 3600 right now. What's the best value right now that can work on my MB? R7 5800?
