Yeah I bought it a little over a month ago for $319. $350 isn't the best price this has been. Not terrible but also not a great sale.

I bought mine in "open box" condition during Prime Day last year for $306 since Amazon applied an add'l 30% off at checkout which is why I feel the current sale price is arbitrary.

No unfortunately, in rendering/compiling/encoding pretty much any kind of heavy workloads. And in gaming the 7950x automatically disables half the cores so that you dont have a latency issue where 8 cores communicate slowly with the other 8 cores. The 9900x also does this for gaming but its 6 cores communicating with 6 cores so in gaming it only uses 6 cores. While its 10% faster single performance improvement on the 9900x. Its actually 33% more cores on the 7950, so youre gaming on 8 cores vs cores. Netting you around an average 25% improvement in games and 28% in heavy workloads if you stick with the 7950x. For gaming the 9700x is faster. For heavy workloads the 9950x is faster but also has the ability to use 8 cores. So unfortunately the 9900x is the master of none, and is just a linear performance improvement on cost going from 9700x to 9900x would help in all Non gaming scenerous but hurt in gaming sceneriois

Sheesh, keep your brain focused dude. You're wandering all over the place. For productivity (like, not living out violent fantasies in video games), the 9900x is a substantially faster CPU than everything you mentioned.

Meantime, note that this is yet another 9900x thread about Amazon sellers of the exact same ASIN. Mods are refusing to police this because for the first time ever at SD, they think that every single "Other Sellers" price from any generic merchant qualifies as a "different" listing at Amazon.
