Pros: When it worked it was a beast
Cons: Unstable crashed during windows install and boots and everywhere in between.
Overall Review: Completely unstable on my b650 tomahawk wifi with the latest bios wouldn't even load Windows at a certain point. Replaced motherboard/Ram tearing my hair out and screaming to the heavens when it still was completely unstable, then I replaced with a 7700x and finally some stability while I wait for a replacement.

I have been waiting a long time for this to be in stock, so thought maybe others are waiting as well. It is expensive, not on discount, except against the scalper prices. hopefully this helps someone else get their build finalized like it did mine.
While I'm sure someone may appreciate the link, there is virtually zero reason to get this with the release of the 7800X3D. It's $469 and offers nearly identical results (as long as we're talking about pure gaming, which we should be giving the nature of the X3D chips).

The 7800X3D is 1% to 2% faster than 7950X3D in gaming, certainly, but for multithreaded loads it is 68% slower. If you are using your computer for more than just gaming, like I do, then it makes more sense to spend the $250 more. Time is money.
But, seeing how this post is fairing, I think I will from now on just stick with using other people's work on posting deals and leave my 2 cents on the table.
This is a good buy if you use a lot of programs with multithreaded loads, do a bit of gaming on the side, and want best in class power efficiency. With heavy emphasis on the power efficiency.

I am pretty confused as to what your and other's posts about this are about.
You are not looking to buy this product. You come to the thread and attack the value of the product.
Let us look at what I personally would get if I went with the 7800X3D processor over this one.
I have a $500 mother board. $330 in memory. $320 in NVMe hard drive, $230 water cooler, $1650 video card, $1200 in other hard drives, $700 power supply, $3000 in monitors, and I do things that use lots of CPU threads that run the processor at 98% - 100% usage.
I game maybe 2 to 3 hours a day some days, but I work on my PC 8 hours a day 5 days a week most weeks. And over night, I have my PC running tasks that are very thread intensive and the faster they complete the better.
Now tell me again, which of these processors is a bad buy for me? After having spent over $7000 for the system and I want to buy a processor for the above tasks. 2-3 hours of gaming some days, maybe 2 days a week, 8 hours of home office working 5 days a week, and another 6 to 8 hours of heavy processing overnight while I sleep? Do I buy the $450 processor that will give me 1-2% better gaming for the 2 hours a day a couple days a week that will accomplish half the work or less that I have the computer running 6 to 8 hours a day churning out productivity items? Or spending a whole $250 more for a processor where I will get 98% of the performance for those few hours a week of gaming, and 200% of the performance the rest of the time? Which one is the better deal.
For you, apparently the 7800X3D is the better deal. Good for you. I am happy for you. But for other people, who have more than just gaming in mind, but do want their gaming to be top notch for many years to come, while at the same time have productivity concerns, making a compromise decision to not have 2 computers built, one for gaming and one for productivity, my calculations tell me to go with the 7950X3D which excels at both gaming and productivity.
Sure, I could build 2 PCs and deal with the added floor space used, the multitude of wires, the complexity of setting up my keyboard video (3 monitors) mouse switch, for which I have not found a single one that can drive 5k2k monitors by the way. For the 2 computers I calculated out that I would end up spending, instead of about $8500 total, I would end up spending about $13,000 total. Of course, I would get 100% gaming and 100% productivity instead of 98% gaming and 92% productivity for that extra $4500.
