It'll be interesting to see if it is a boon or bane to gaming performance.

I got my hopes up the last time this rumor hit the mill. Not getting my hopes up again.

If it does happen then I'll be extremely happy. As this will probably be one of the best consumer chips for the work I do. Assuming the price isn't ridiculous.

I agree about the last time. . .and also even if it comes out we'll still have to see how well they address scheduling and whatnot. Fingers crossed though but I'd expect this to be ~$800-$900 if it does happen.

I could see 650 maybe 700... I mean what's the markup from a 9950x to a 9950x3d? Google... So top range it's about a 100 dollar markup. So lets call it an 100 dollar premium over the 9950x3d... I'm leaning toward a top end price of 750, 800 at most. Really much more than that and it's just a money grab because they can.

I'm hoping for that price range, 750-800, but rounding out the price of 2x 9800X3D @$449 (current). I know total apples and oranges to this but some marketing folk will think like that.

If the price is closer to $1000 then I'll just continue buying EPYCs.

Honestly for that price if they ALSO double the PCIE lanes it would be worth it but they won't so they reasonably can't. Not to say they won't it just won't have the sell through that they might otherwise expect.

They are REAL close to stepping on thread ripper... really a x3d variant of the thread ripper would be more appealing then they could get away with charging 1500 bucks for the CPU easy.

I kind of wonder if this new SKU will actually be part of the EPYC lineup for AM5 which will make more sense for them to release instead of a Ryzen branded part.

More than a few folks are wondering the same if this might be an AM5 EPYC part.
