9850X3D speculation

I'm expecting launch price to be around 550 like said above, with it coming bundled with about 100 dollars in gaming software for launch. Then after the software is done if sell through isn't quite right they will drop the price to 500 or 499. But that's just me.
 
Sounds reasonable. The value addition with a game didn't cross my mind but that's a good way to blunt the impact of the higher price.
 
I don't think there's enough differnetiation between the 9800x3d and 9850x3d for them to exist at the same time. I would expect the latter to replace the former at about the same price point. If anything, it makes way for a 9700X3d at a lower price point, basically setting up battles against the future 385k/365k chipperies....
 
I wonder if this means the 9950x3dx2 will have a higher base clock as well.

Right?

You'd get a few more points in synthetics, but you're not going to overcome the architectural limitations just by going from 5.25GHz to 5.6GHz. And that's if that new speed is sustainable.

In some instances, a boost of +600 MHz and generally above 5550 MHz.

Yup, that's reasonable; the 9800X3D hits 5250MHz and sticks to it at stock (assuming no thermal throttling), so I'd bet that 5600MHz wouldn't be that hard with decent bins. Most overclockers were topping out around 5500MHz last I checked but I haven't looked in a while.
 
What I want to know, and sure I could try searching, is how much a 32 GB 9800 MT/s kit costs? I've got a feeling it's probably close to the same as the processor.

I'm guessing the G.Skill 9800 kit will launch alongside 9850X3D. Reviewers and top overclockers will enjoy first dibs on that and then crickets for the rest of us :D

I don't think CUDIMMs really settled in price like DDR5 UDIMMs had (so ~US$100 for 32GB), since they were only really useful on Intel's poorly-received Arrow Lake platform. Demand didn't uptick, supply didn't get off the ground, etc.

We probably won't see reasonable kits until this AI 'boom' is resolved one way or the other (or just Judgement Day).
 
Well those are 48 GB kits but still, yep, about what I was expecting.

I got a new laptop on BF that I'll be paying off until Summer, but very happy with and for laughs I looked up the kit that's it in. Crucial, of course, 2x 32 GB 5600 MT/s DDR5 sticks, that same 64 GB kit on Newegg is going for ~$500.
 
Yep, I've already been jokingly calling them collectors items. However small, I think there's a chance Crucial will make a comeback once the AI demand wears down and Micron has to find profits elsewhere again. Might be years though but I can already envision the marketing, "Back by popular demand. . ." and so on.
