It&#8217;s especially &#8220;not bad&#8221;, however, compared to Intel&#8217;s Core Ultra 200S Arrow Lake chips.<\/p>\n<p>To put it in context a little, the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/intel-core-ultra-9-285k-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intel Core Ultra 9 285K<\/a>, the flagship CPU spearheading Intel&#8217;s Arrow Lake line-up, costs $589, ie, over $100 more than the upcoming 9800X3D. The 9800X3D&#8217;s pricing seals the deal, as far as I&#8217;m concerned: Intel&#8217;s latest chips are straight-up not good enough value for gaming. Which is quite the blunder when you think about it, given AMD&#8217;s Zen 5 launch was hardly spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>The 285K&#8217;s pricing wouldn&#8217;t be such a disaster if it was a great performer\u2014the previous-gen Intel flagships cost more than the 7800X3D, after all\u2014but it isn&#8217;t. In Nick&#8217;s testing he found it to lag behind the competition in a lot of applications and games (although it does have low power consumption going for it). It not only loses to AMD&#8217;s current-gen high-end CPUs, but trades blows with previous-gen Intel ones.<\/p>\n<p>$589 seems a whole lot of money for a whole load of nothing special.<\/p>\n<p>It even performs on par with or worse than the Ryzen 5 7600X in games, and the latter is currently going for <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AMD-7600X-12-Thread-Unlocked-Processor\/dp\/B0BBJDS62N\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$208 on Amazon<\/a>. Nobody&#8217;s going to pick up the 285K for gaming, and given the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/intel-core-ultra-5-245k-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Core Ultra 5 245K<\/a> costs $309 and obviously performs even worse than the 285K, nobody&#8217;s going to pick that up for gaming either.<\/p>\n<p>Ditto the $395 Core Ultra 7 265K, which arguably fares a little better on the value front but still doesn&#8217;t hold a candle to even AMD&#8217;s previous-gen offerings such as the 7700X and 7800X3D.<\/p>\n<p>Now AMD&#8217;s announced that we&#8217;re about to have a sub-$500 next-gen X3D chip that&#8217;s capable of being overclocked and has higher clock speeds than the 7800X3D to boot. As far as gaming&#8217;s concerned, this looks like a death blow for Arrow Lake. That does depend on AMD&#8217;s chip actually being as good as it sounds on paper, though.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, the 7800X3D might look expensive next to the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/processors\/amd-ryzen-7-9700x-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AMD Ryzen 7 9700X<\/a>, which is currently going for about <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/amd-ryzen-7-9700x-ryzen-7-9000-series-granite-ridge-socket-am5-processor\/p\/N82E16819113843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$312 at Newegg (with promo code BFDDYA55)<\/a>, but there&#8217;s always been a surcharge for 3D V-Cache chips.

Given the somewhat initially disappointing gen-on-gen improvements of the 9000-series\u2014&#8221;Zen 5%&#8221;, anyone?\u2014the fact that it looks so much more appealing than Arrow Lake really says something against the Intel chips.<\/p>\n<p>The only way the Core Ultra 200S line-up will be a reasonable option for PC gamers is if there are price cuts.
