My biggest concern from what I've seen is that the weird hack AMD uses to get programs to run on one set of cores vs the other wasn't exactly great last I looked and can cause issues when a game tries to move off of one CCD onto the other. That said I haven't looked into this ever since the CPU first came out so hopefully things are better now.

How observant are you to micro stutters in a game? That was the biggest reason I got the 5800x3d in the first place, but now that I have a better GPU I can tell that thing struggles. And from what I remember most of the issued you'd have moving from CCD to CCD were more micro stutters vs normal frame rate dips or just lower average frame rates.

I only really notice stutters in heavily modded Minecraft, where it's clearly linked to the garbage collector. In more demanding games I don't notice any stuttering really. Or at least, none that I can't easily link to something triggering in the game that is likely causing it.

Sure, perhaps I have slightly lower average FPS compared to a 7800x3D, but I also use this PC for productivity reasons so there the extra oompf really does help. Still, 97% of a framerate that's already way higher than what my 144Hz monitors support is still well above what my monitors support. I don't think the performance difference is really noticeable, other than in certain benchmarks or if you try really hard to see them.

It's considerably faster than a 5800x3D though.
