I have mixed feelings about this. This is not going to be a budget CPU; it will likely cost $350+. I don't think you should pay that much for 6-cores in 2025.
I am sure it will perform great on some games for a reasonable discount compared to the 9800X3D, and even in games optimized for 8-cores, these 6 will be so fast that it will likely be respectable. I just feel like for (probably) less money, the 9700X would be a better well rounded CPU.
I'm only guessing until we see benchmarks. If the 9600X3D beats the 9700X across the board in gaming performance, then I guess it is a good product. However, I more expect it to be a mixed bag of trading blows, and I can't help but think games that show an advantage to more cores are only going to become more common going forward.
missing feew things like CPU temp, hopefully they add an option to customize what would i want displayed or not, but as a default and easy msi afterburner alternative its great and it even work on destiny 2
