The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is 9% better than the Ryzen 7 5800X on Geekbench 5

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D will hit the market on April 20 for $449. Powered by AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, the processor will compete with the best gaming CPUs.

AMD has promised that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D would offer a 15% boost in gaming over the current Ryzen 9 5900X. That’s a pretty big statement considering the Ryzen 9 5900X has four more cores and higher speeds. With this in mind we tell you that the Leaker Benchleaks has discovered two benchmarks of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D that show what the increase in cache can do.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D has the same eight-core, 16-thread configuration as the regular Ryzen 7 5800X. It has 64 MB more L3 cache due to the 3D V-Cache design. Although the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has the same 105W TDP, the processor is 400mhz less than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Robert Hallock, director of technical marketing at AMD, has already confirmed that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D comes with a lower voltage, between 1.3 V and 1.35 Vunlike AMD’s Ryzen 5000 (Vermeer), which can run between 1.45V and 1.35V. 1.5V. The design limits the clock speeds of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and this contributes to the lack of compatibility with what is overclocking.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Benchmarks

The single core performance of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D was not a surprise, the Ryzen 7 5800X is 2.3% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. With that metric, it makes sense that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D would not outperform the Ryzen 9 5900X or the Core i7-12700K, the latter the direct rival of the Ryzen 7 5800X.

In the multi-core test, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D outperformed the Ryzen 7 5800X by 8.9%. The advantage ends there, being no match for the Ryzen 9 5900X or the Core i7-12700K, where there was a margin of almost 25%. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D’s forte is gaming, according to AMD. The chipmaker estimated that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is on average 15% faster than the Ryzen 9 5900X and 7% faster than the Core i7-12700K. Although these benchmarks that we see do not give us a good feeling, to put it in some way.

With recent price cuts in the Ryzen 5000 family, the Ryzen 9 5900X retails for $448.98, but the Core i7-12700K retails for $384.98. So if the Ryzen 7 5800X3D really delivers that gaming performance boost that AMD promised, consumers can get a pretty good gaming chip for the same price as a Ryzen 9 5900X. On the other hand, it loses productivity performance, as not even AMD’s 3D V-Cache can make up for the lower core count of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D doesn’t seem like a good deal compared to the Core i7-12700K. Consumers would have to pay 17% more (based on dollar value) for just a 7% increase in gaming performance.
