AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Now Also Spotted in benchmark - Geekbench
AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor is set to be released later this month and has already been benchmarked using Geekbench. The processor was tested on an ASUS X670E Hero motherboard, paired with 32GB of DDR5 memory of unknown speed, and achieved clock speeds of 5.1 to 5.68 GHz throughout the benchmark.
This 16-core and 32-thread processor comes equipped with 64MB of 3D V-Cache, and is the flagship Ryzen CPU for the AM5 socket. The benchmark results were not hugely impressive, of course the X3D series is not expected to perform well in synthetic benchmarks like Geekbench. The benefits of the increased cache in this processor are expected to be more apparent in gaming workloads, which were not tested in this benchmark. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D scored 2157 points in single-core tests and 21841 points in multi-core tests using the V5 version of Geekbench.
While these scores are less than those of the 7950X, it's important to note that the 7950X3D's results are sourced from only one run, making them incomparable to the 7950X's average score based on many results. Additionally, no information is available about the memory specifications or whether the processor was running the latest BIOS, which could have impacted the scores.
The Ryzen 9 7950X3D is expected to be a game-changer for gamers and professionals who require high-performance computing, and many will be eagerly anticipating more benchmarks to be released in the coming weeks.

Oh and wait and it's 1080p.
Huh? Should they be testing at 480p?

Problem is, the bread and butter chip aka 7800X3D (still about $450) is significantly slower clock wise and less cache.
That 10% gain average in 1080p by 7950X3D might turn into just a few % for 78xx.
Oh and wait and it's 1080p.
Yeah, meh.
Your post doesn't make sense.
Specs on paper are irrelevant; real-world performance is what matters, and at least from leaked benches so far, it seems the lower clock speeds don't hurt it much. What the lower clock speeds should imply is better performance-per-watt, which means boost clocks can be maintained for longer. It also means that there's more overclocking headroom, which is another bonus over the 5800X3D, since that can't OC.
One thing a lot of people don't realize is the bigger the cache, the slower it can be read or written to. The closer you get to the actual core, the more cache speed matters. Shrinking L2 is smaller might actually be the main reason why the 7800X3D is ostensibly faster, despite the lower clock speeds. Thanks to the V-cache, the L2 can be fed data more quickly. Obviously DDR5 doesn't really matter due to the hefty V-cache, and the die shrink would have a minimal impact.
Lastly, when it comes to the 5800X3D, it's typically bottlenecked by the GPU, which a newer CPU isn't going to fix no matter what it is. Where the CPU is the bottleneck, you're either getting a frame rate that no display can render or the game is optimized so poorly that adding more MHz won't be enough.

So you're telling me that what's written is absolute performance, regardless of IPC, node size, ISA, etc, and that you need more than 500FPS in CS:GO? Because that's pretty much what you first post was implying.
What you're saying doesn't make sense to me, not even in theory.

@schmidtbag
No, I was trying to get an overview of 7800X3D vs 7950X3D based on specs and leaked gaming gains.
Why would it be any different? The 7950X3D is the flagship so of course it'll have higher clock speeds, because how else do they convince people it's the best if it doesn't outperform a CPU with half the cores in a workload that isn't thread intensive (or CPU intensive at all), such as most games?
The only way the 7800X3D will be slower is because of clock speeds. But again - it's overclockable and should retain boost clocks for longer, so what's the problem here?

Just AMD teasing how they narrowed the gap a bit between the 5800x3d design and the 7000x3d design?
Guess we shall see soon enough.
