AMD has a golden opportunity coming up to basically change the narrative in its favor for the first time in many a year.
This can be very easily achieved on November 3rd
1) Announce the 7900XT (XTX or 7950XT or whatever it is going to be called).
2) Announce the 7800X3D at the same time - and for God's sake don't hobble it the way the 5800X3D was.
3) And here is the kicker, announce a BUNDLE of the 7900XT plus the 7800X3D for $100 less than the cost of buying them separately.
The best gaming GPU and the best gaming CPU together for one great price.
Of course this makes way too much sense and AMD will waste this golden opportunity as they have many others in the past.
I have a PowerColor Red Devil 6900XT and have a 7950X and unlike the Tech Media/YouTubers I know how to configure it; for instance my 7950X runs with one of the cheapest (and best) 360 rad AIOs and at a temp of around 77 degrees Celsius I get a CineBench R20 score of 40,210:
I would like to point out that the score above is not the result of overclocking but rather the 7950X is configured completely within spec.
I have also written a guide on how to optimally configure any 3rd, 4th or 5th Gen Ryzen CPU on any motherboard and, including BIOS, it only takes about five to ten minutes
