![]() ![]() The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is the best gaming CPU you can buy right now based on initial testing. Newer titles, however, are optimized to store multiple CPU instructions and therefore benefit from the larger cache on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Many older games, for example, benefit from the increased frequency of the Ryzen 7 5800X. Not all applications will benefit from an increased cache. In short, more cache means the processor doesn’t have to access the system RAM as often, which reduces the amount of time it takes for the CPU to receive and process instructions. It may not seem like a big deal, but benchmarks show the extra cache can do wonders in games. The catch is AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, which allows the Ryzen 7 5800X3D to access an additional 64MB of 元 cache - bringing the total 元 cache to 96MB on the chip. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Ryzen 7 5800X are the same processor under the hood, minus a little bit of clock speed. A big cache Image used with permission by copyright holder Still, the Ryzen 7 5800X offers much more bandwidth if you run a lot of frequency-sensitive applications. The extra cache on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D makes up for the lack of frequency in games especially. Although it’s still possible to overclock the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with a lot of extra work, it’s risky.Īs performance numbers show, however, frequency isn’t everything. If you want to push your hardware to its limits, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D isn’t for you. It runs faster out of the box - up to 4.7GHz on a single core - and you can easily nudge up to 5GHz on a single core with a little overclocking. That normally wouldn’t be a big deal, but the Ryzen 7 5800X3D doesn’t support CPU overclocking. It’s 200MHz slower on the max boost clock and a full 400MHz slower for the base clock. ![]() Overclocking AMDĭespite being a newer version, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D actually has a slower clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Because of that, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D not only beats the Ryzen 7 5800X, but also the most expensive processors AMD has to offer right now. In gaming, it’s important to remember that AMD’s Ryzen 5000 range performs largely the same - even between the Ryzen 5 5600X and Ryzen 9 5950X, most titles land within a few frames of each other. In frequency-sensitive games like Rainbow Six Extraction, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D managed only a 5% increase over the Ryzen 7 5800X. Those improvements aren’t always as stark. Image used with permission by copyright holder TechSpot found that it’s as much as 50% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X in open-world games like Far Cry 6. Even more impressive, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D managed a 5% increase over the Core i9-12900KS in Far Cry 6 - and Intel’s processor costs nearly twice as much. Gaming is where the Ryzen 7 5800X3D really shines. Prior to launch, leaked benchmarks showed the Ryzen 7 5800X3D beating the Core i9-12900K by as much as 30% in some benchmarks. The gains are massively impressive, even if they aren’t surprising. In tasks like H.264 encoding, the increased cache allows the Ryzen 7 5800X3D to even outpace Intel’s Core i9-12900K. Memory-sensitive applications still see a benefit on the 3D-stacked part, however. In traditional CPU benchmarks like Cinebench, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D falls short of the Ryzen 7 5800X, as evidenced by ExtremeTech’s testing. For gamers, however, nothing seems to beat the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. If you’re concerned with raw processor performance, the older Ryzen 7 5800X is your best option. The processors target very different applications despite being largely similar under the hood. Performance Image used with permission by copyright holderĬomparing the Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 7 5800X3D in terms of performance is tough. Prices always fluctuate, but the difference between the Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 7 5800X3D is about $100. ![]() We expect prices will stay below $350 for Ryzen 7 5800X, but even if they climb, you shouldn’t pay more than $400.ĪMD’s newer Ryzen 7 5800X3D still has a list price of $450, and although prices may climb slightly in the weeks after launch, they should settle around that list price. At the time of writing, you can pick one up for about $340. The Ryzen 7 5800X is about a year and a half old, so prices have dropped a lot. The gamers have spoken: AMD obliterates Intel in CPU salesĪMD might be about to launch the most powerful laptop of 2023ĪMD’s upcoming Ryzen 5 5600X3D could completely dethrone Intel in budget builds ![]()
