The other major drawback for this chip is that the 3D V-Cache seems to come at the cost of performance elsewhere, with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D lagging behind the Ryzen 7 7700X in just about every other performance category besides gaming. If you need a processor that can game hard while...
As you will see throughout this review, there's no such issue with the 7800X3D, as all its CPU cores are localized to a single CCD with 96 MB of L3 cache. A known design drawback with 3D Vertical Cache SKUs has been that AMD adjusted power, thermals, and frequency. The 3D ...
Interestingly, this is an increase in overall power from the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which had a base TDP of 105. Looking at things on a generational basis, both the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Ryzen 7 5800X3D are 8 core designs. However, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has the advantage of coming with...
Reviews of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, the much-awaited 3D V-Cache chip, have landed and show insane efficiency in gaming performance.
We measured power draw directly from the dual 8-pin connections on our motherboard. For the 7800X3D, that gave us a peak of 119 watts at load and 29 watts idle. 32 Throwing the data into our value charts, the 7800X3D landed at 91.8%. 32 Looking at gaming performance against the pri...
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D $449 The Good Impressive gaming performanceSuper low power drawPrice The Bad Loses out to Intel on productivity performance $449 at Best Buy How we rate and review products I’ve been testing out AMD’s 7800X3D with MSI’s Meg X670E Ace motherboard, 32GB of G....
In summary, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still performs well at 4K resolutions, it doesn't have as much of an advantage as it does at lower resolutions, and the graphics card has a bigger impact on overall performance. Our testing suggests that a premium graphics card is essentia...
But jokes about ITX clearance issues aside, the 7800X3D is an incredible processor for a compact gaming PC. It barely pulls 50 watts during gaming, so it’s the absolute best tool for the job when you absolutely need to keep power draw and temperatures low. But what board to pair with...
Power Draw ~150W Expand Bringing 3D V-Cache to Zen 5 AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D replaces the popular AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and this launch makes sense as it's the X3D with better efficiency and overall results. Most changes to the 9800X3D are in the 3D V-Cache, which AMD is...
Outside of architecture, there’s one important spec change particularly for the Ryzen 7 9700X. The last-gen Ryzen 7 7700X had a power draw of 105 watts, but AMD shrunk that to 65W this time around. That power is a little optimistic, with the chip commonly registering over 65W, but...
