Damn. Just put together 2 7900X3D + H13SAE-MF + RTX 4070 Ti SUPER + 100GbE-SR4 NICs with PCIe 5.0 and ATX 3.0. Mostly for bare-metal NIC load testing. Already obsolete.

In other news, I'm getting a Xeon with 4 whole GiB of DDR2 ECC RAM shipped from China that has 3 ISA slots. ;D

What kind of 100GbE throughput you’re getting?

>7900X3D

What purpose could this possibly serve? Enjoying worse performance than a 7900X?

The invisible kind because not all the parts have arrived because WiredZone and Next International are terrible Supermicro VARs to be avoided.

What's your problem, bucko? 2x the L3 and a lower price tag.

There is no DMA there, so your Sound Blaster wouldn't work [from the box].

But that L3 is only on 6 of the cores, the other 6 don't have it. The non-3d cores can clock like 10% higher or more.
