This or 9900x for productivity?
Define "productivity"? And are you exclusively doing work on it, or is a gaming/work mix? And what percentage is that mix? For most intensive "productivity" (i.e. rendering, complex calculations, etc) this chip falls right between the 9700x and 9900x in performance. So basically where you'd expect an AMD 9800x to hit, if one existed. The 9800x3d is faster than either of those two chips in gaming, however. So, it's nice that this chip doesn't take nearly the hit that the 7800x3d did over regular X chips in productivity workloads.

Now it does seem like, when most people talk about productivity, they mean multiple browsers, excel sheets, a youtube video, outlook, etc running at the same time. In those instances, assuming a work/gaming mix of time, there's not a reason to chose the 9900X over this chip.

I mainly do web app development spinning up multiple docker containers at the same time, do dual boot windows and Linux (gaming in windows obviously), ratio would be 80/20 work vs game

If I remember right Docker let's you chose how many cores to run, so the 9900x could have the advantage there with the 4 more cores it has. And it's not like the 9900x will be bad for gaming, it's just not as fast as the 9800x3d. So in your use case, the dual boot shouldn't matter much between the two, and with your workload seeming to skew more towards favoring multiple cores I'd go with the 9900X.

What demographic of gamers is buying an RTX 5090 and 9800X3D to play at 1080p?
You know most ppl will spend 500 on a cpu... most ppl aren't button a product that ain't released let alone possibly costing upwards of 1500+. At the end of the day... there will be more ppl buying this cpu and pairing it rx4060/70 class card and that is certainly not a 4k card.

Just a heads up if this matters to anyone. Even though estimated ship is in January they wouldn't let me cancel the order. I found the cpu elsewhere for an earlier ship time and I tried to cancel and the automated system and support couldn't cancel
I tried doing that from my og order because I was going in to microcenter and it did the same.

If you can wait, wait for the 9900x3d/9950x3d. Then make your decision.

My delivery date of January 23-25 is now tomorrow. If this comes in stock, and you want it for retail from a store with easy returns, it's probably worth grabbing. Amazon will likely to continue getting stock throughout the next few months.
