Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “”The Fastest Gaming CPU in the World” – Ryzen 7 5800X3D”.
This is the fastest gaming CPU on the planet, Or at least it was when AMD first announced. It. Intel beats them to the punch with what they claim is the fastest gaming CPU, The Core i9-1200KS.. They put that together so quickly. We didn’t get a chance to review it before they shoved it out door.. What is it about this unassuming little square, the Ryzen 7.
5800X3D. That’S got Intel so scared that they dropped everything to come out ahead of it. I’Ll tell you, but first I’m gon na drop this message from our sponsor.
Lambda created with Razer. Their new Tensorbook comes with an RTX 3080 Linux and Lambda stack with PyTorch and Tensorflow, so machine learning engineers can develop AI models. Anytime, anywhere. Learn more at the link down below.
( electronic music ) AMD’s new gaming CPU achieves its fastest ever gaming claims by using their shiny new 3D V-Cache technology where ultra-fast cache memory is stacked on top of the CPU die. In addition to the cache. That’S already inside it., But why is cache so important for gaming? That AMD would go out of their way to literally make a cash sandwich, Because it’s so close to the CPU cores.
It is fast You can think of it roughly like the relationship between RAM and storage., And there are different levels of cache that get even faster. The closer they get to the cores. 3D V-cache is L3 cache, which, for the 5800X3D, is a shared pool of cache memory for all of its eight cores.
For games. This cache is used for well everything., But especially for things like AI behavior, trees, physics, information and other things that the CPU is constantly doing.. If the cache fills up and this stuff has to be evicted back to RAM the CPU, not only has to wait for new data to arrive from RAM, but it also has to wait for the old data to come back when it’s needed again.. This is what you’d call a bottleneck., And this one will lower frame rates of CPU, bound games or cause hitching. Even when FPS is high. With three times the cache of its namesake, the Ryzen 58007X., The 5800X3D promises to basically never run out of cache on a normal circumstances, which should improve gaming performance. To test that we’ve got a range of CPUs from both team, red and Team blue, including the brand new 12900KS.
And we’ve equipped our Intel bench with the fastest memory we had available to give it the best chance to rain on AMD’s parade.. We’Ll have all this linked down. Below.
Right away. 3D V-cache makes itself known in F1 2021, where it beats out the Core i9-1200K and matches the brand new 12900KS., And this continues to a lesser extent, with Forza Horizon 4, where the 5800X3D slips a little bit, but nothing too major. Far Cry. 6 brings the first maybe. One percent low frame rates in averages. Look good, but five percent lows are significantly lower as they are with the standard. 5800X. AMD is at a disadvantage. Here. Hitman 3 shows more of this pattern, albeit with better news for AMD in general. As average frame rates are higher than even the 12900KS at the cost of frame stability. Microsoft, Flight Simulator brings the first flawless victory over the entire field, where it seems the extra cache really helps with maintaining not only high but stable frame rates in this very CPU Bound title.
C-S Go also famously CPU bound, but with an older and more simplistic engine tips. The scales back towards Intel with the 12900KS taking a commanding almost 20 % lead in average FPS.. Oh and you’re, not getting better turn times in Civilization, V1 FYI.. But I don’t think that’s quite what they were talking about when they called it.
“ The World’s Fastest Gaming, CPU” You’re, also not getting better turn times with our recently restocked Wan hoodies from LTDstore.com, but at least you’ll look good. While you wait. Tallying it all up. The 5800X3D pulls about a seven percent lead over the 12900K, which would’ve made it the fastest gaming CPU. If only the 12900KS didn’t exist. A fact, certainly not lost on Intel.. The 12900KS is about three percent faster across our benchmarks., But it’s worth remembering that that CPU costs $ 800. More on that later. AMD hasn’t really marketed the 5800X3D for productivity and the slower clock speeds are probably going to hurt it more here than the extra cache Will help. Sure enough? We see about a five percent performance drop across the board in Cinebench R23 over the OG, 5800X. And Blender doesn’t fear much better in BMW..
Surprisingly, 3D V-cache appears to help with the more complex Gooseberry render. Likely, thanks to being able to keep more asset. Data close to the cores.
Creative Cloud shows a similar performance uplift with Premiere picking a good five percent lead over the 5800X. And finally, SPECviewperf shows a similar give and take, depending on the tests. With life sciences and general operations, seeing a performance boost and energy and Financial services taking a hit. Looking at all our tests, it works out to roughly equal performance to the non-58003DX at the end of the day., So you’d have to pay attention to the specific benchmarks to know if it’s better for a given workload. Intel, meanwhile, is firmly On top. – And it’s it’s not even close., Even the Core i7-12700K is way out ahead..
That means that unless you’re in the market for a top-end CPU, the 12700K represents a better value for productivity overall than either of those Ryzen 7 chips.. For thermal testing, I decided to give these chips a workout using Prime95 to see just how hot they’ll get. And the 5800X3D pleasantly surprises in this torture test with a consistent 90 degrees using our Noctua NH-D15S. And that’s just a few degrees.
More than the standard 5800X puts out and significantly lower than either Core i9., What’s more, it maintained 4.1 gigahertz all core throughout most of the run, with power consumption below the OG5800X.. Even though both CPUs are rated for 105 Watt, TDP precision boost doesn’t seem to be pushing the X3D quite as hard.. Why? The hotter cores then Well. You’Ve got the 3D V-cache sitting between the cores and the IHS, so it’s less thermally efficient., Which brings up the other reason.
The Ryzen, 7 5800X3D is special Overclocking., Or rather lack thereof. For the first time on the Ryzen platform. AMD says that this is a limitation for this one specific CPU, because the 3DStats cache memory needs a hard capped maximum voltage for reliability..
Not only does that mean that overclocking one of these things would potentially be dangerous. It also means that, thanks to the extra power draw required to run the 3D V-cache core clocks are lower than the vanilla 5800X, as we saw.. Obviously, that hasn’t hurt it much in practice, but you can imagine how much faster things could be if only that limitation weren’t in place and they can drive the clocks just that little bit faster.. Overall, it’s a weird chip but ( chuckles ). It’S not a bad one..
Is it the most powerful gaming see you in the world? No, it’s beaten out by the Core i9-1200KS., But again that CPU is a power hungry beast that costs $ 800.. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is $ 450, which makes it the fastest gaming CPU at a price that makes any sense. And that’s why the Core i7-12700K at $ 400 is in our test lineup.. That chip still represents an extremely good value..
It’S not far off for gaming and dominates for the price if you need productivity., Plus it’s running on a brand new platform. Speaking of platforms hit Subscribe because we’ve got a brand new storage platform with a petabyte of flash ( bell, dings ) and we are totally Gon na benchmark it., But the 5800X3D is a fitting sendoff to a platform that’s been around since I started writing for Linus Tech Tips. By all accounts.
This is probably the last CPU that AM4 is going to see.. I wouldn’t recommend it for new builds the platform’s. A dead-end., But if you are primarily a gamer who got into AMD’s ecosystem early and you’ve, been waiting for a chip to upgrade to then this is a solid choice for top-tier performance that won’t require you to take a second job..
It doesn’t need fancy, cooling or a big power supply or even new RAM.. Could you get similar performance by overclocking, a plain Ryzen, 7, 5800X or even the new $ 300 5700X, Probably yeah.? But if you don’t want to deal with that or if you are a small form factor enthusiast, then for you the 5800X3D has few downsides. And neither does our sponsor. Zoho CRM.
