What is the advantage of the 3D version of the Ryzen Processor?
MOAR CACHE, basically - so all types of applications which needs more Memory Bandwidth to perform better, and not so much higher clock count on multiple cores are boosted quite dramatically. Speaking of Games, Database applications, such stuff.
Applications which need high single core performance or steady multiple core usage (maybe even combined with high clocks) are kinda hindered by 3D cache, because cooling gets more difficult.
How good this stuff is can be seen in actual benchmarks, in which the 5800X3D still performs relevantly good - and this is last gen stuff.

Yeah, in games the 5800x3d murders all other 5000 series CPUās.

I guess this explains it more.

I have been running a mirror (or 2) on an older machine - picture an AMD A10-5800K for dating purposes. You can look at the picture for what I did about it when unreliability appeared to be encroachingā¦
You will note an ASUS B450 Prime A-II mb, Corsair RAM (16), Samsung Evo 970 nvme, AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, and 2 tries at a CoolerMaster AIO. The first try was for the 240 version - but it seems that the case I had was expecting a 180 version (90 mil fans, not 120ās!) - so I switched in a single fan radiator version, which appears to be OK (normal temps run at 27 degrees C). I guess the dual fan version will go on my main machine, where it will -probably help its longevity.
So - more than you wanted to know!

Arctic MX-4 for my first ever paste job 
Taken after two successful procedures on Haswell-powered Dell and Toshiba devices from 2013-2014 that run hot normally. Temps are much better now - they previously would reach 59-60Ā°C on idle-low load, now they comfortably stay in the 45-50Ā°C range under the same conditions.
Considering to repaste my main laptop too, a T480s, with this paste (I overbought) if I donāt end up getting a Honeywell TPM 7950.

Next step - install GrapheneOS on that baby and you are all set for a long time!

For sure! The two weeks waiting time between actual hardware release and release of the GrapheneOS build will beā¦ unpleasant.
good luck with that 
Always ends up looking like something nsfw when i do it

I got my Pixel 7 immediately after it was released and I was pleasantly surprised when GrapheneOS was available within about a week. Hang in there, it will be available soon!
Got this Pie 4B kit. Been really enjoying messing around with it. Currently got it connected to my TV with Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

Haha, it is kinda hard for me too. But I think Iām improving.
Joining the Lian Li crowd. Welcome. Mine was fantastic to build in.
This was the only reason I went with the 5950x for now. . . we donāt know enough about it yet. Iām hoping no one cares/wants it and it disappears soon.
I wouldnāt go taht far. Tests put it still very close to my 5950x. I do some of everything, so the few fps I would have gotten isnāt worth it for me. For actual work, the 5800x3d lags behind the 32 cores. Iām sure regardless I canāt tell the difference without some fps counter staring me in the face anyways.
@BONK Needless to say, thatās one stunning piece of hardware. Very well done, great choices and congratulations!
+1 for Graphene. I donāt miss anything one bit. Fantastic OS!

Most PURELY gaming benchmarks put it ahead of even that 5950x. However, like you, I do a lot of other stuff that more cores is more beneficial for than more cache, thus my choosing to get a 5900x instead. Quite happy with my results, running in Eco mode (65-watt) itās able to chew through everything I throw at it.
Yes, purely gaming itās ahead. . . but not by much, and tapers off when put to real work compared to the 32 cores. Itās only better if you only game. For anyone else that actually uses teh computer is probably benefited by the 5900+
Things are so close these days in a lot of ways for CPUās. While I just finished my build, I cheaped out on the gpu. I couldnāt afford $1000 (or at least didnāt want to blow that much more money on it, I did just also spend well over $2000 on firearms too) on a 7900xtx so the 6700xt got me going in a pretty good reasonable fashion. 7900xtx is my next big purchase. Unless the next iteration is even better for teh same price. 12gb GPU is definitely my current bottleneck, I donāt even come remotely close to maxing out my CPU.
