About this deal

The 16 cores are split between two dies: one eight-core die with access to 3D V-Cache at a lower clock frequency, and another eight-core die without the extra cache but with a fully enabled clock speed. Going off these numbers alone, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the 7950X3D is on the ropes, but the entire picture changes when moving off the straight synthetic tests into creative and gaming performance. AMD also disabled overclocking support on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, so you couldn’t gain this performance back. It’s always better not to have any additional software used, as is the case with single-CCX X3D chips, and we’ll examine how well AMD’s software works in the benchmarking section.

The 16-core processor that can do it all with incredible performance from AMD for the most demanding gamers and creators. Finally, I make sure that for every processor, I retest competing processors I have already tested and reviewed and I use the latest motherboard BIOS, Windows updates, and driver updates available.

In all cases, I run the benchmarks on the lowest graphics settings available at 1080p and using the most powerful graphics card I have available (in this case, an Nvidia RTX 4090) and with 32GB DDR5 RAM to isolate the actual CPU operations I am testing without having to worry about inteference from excessive memory or graphics management. Like 7950X regular, we believe AMD ought to have let it run mostly free of wattage constraints – a 170W TDP 7950X3D would certainly benchmark that little bit better… but then what would be the point of 7950X regular?

This allows the 13900K to eke out up to 68 more fps than the 7950X3D (or 532 minimum fps for the 13900K to the 7950X3D's 464 minimum fps), but it literally needs almost 2.We are a credit broker not a lender - credit is subject to status and affordability, and is provided by Mitsubishi HC Capital UK PLC.

SSD, to ensure that test results are reflective of differences in a processor architecture and performance, rather than reflecting a bottleneck in a different graphics card or SSD, making scores for different processors comparable. Also sporting the 3D V-Cache technology, this is a great processor for mainstream gamers and streamers. And that's for the best gaming performance the 13900K scored against the 7950X3D among the games we tested. Increasing frequency burns power, going architecturally wider burns die size, jumping down successive manufacturing nodes is damn expensive.

What's also so notable about the 7950X3D is that while Intel's latest processors have been outstanding, that performance is far more a function of just throwing power at the problem, literally, than it is some kind of technological magic behind the scenes. You also really can't discount the performance-per-watt that you're getting with the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, which is at least twice what you'd get with the Intel Core i9-13900K and about 55% better than the 7950X.Game testing as of 5 December, 2022, by AMD Performance Labs using the following hardware: AMD Socket AM5 Reference Motherboard with AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X, Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D and G. Unlike the last-gen's Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the 7950X3D does allow for some narrow, controlled overclocking through AMD's Ryzen Master utility, but we're talking about presets rather than setting specific voltages, something you won't be able to do with this chip. I began working on computers owned by immediate family members and relatives when I was around 10 years old. A proven boon for gaming framerates in particular, there are manifest reasons why chip designers don’t simply add heaps more L3 cache to traditional CPU floorplans.
