We review the new Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor from AMD. The much-anticipated processor series comes with an added cache that will help predominantly with gaming. This processor series was designed for one thing, bringing AMD closer to Intel's dominant Raptor lake series processors.

another great review HH, this is why we love you.

diving in to separate the kids in the pool...
Intel made a concerted effort to boost the cache in Raptor Lake and it shows - of course it's a smaller differential now as the differences come down to uArch tweaks.

for most people including most gamers, energy draw is a big deal (we are nerds and don't care as much as the avg. person). the fact that AMD is considerably more efficient has been noted in Boardrooms and by IT consultants. for a gamer we are talking a lot of money over the course of a year to choose the I-9 13900 (in the US it's well over $100 with the lowest energy price in 1st world) and if you like most of us add a GPU to that it's even more (next gen EEK!:eek

so if you don't care about your carbon footprint, that's one thing, but the bill is another.

Even though i expected better gaming performance it still comes on top. In cpu heavy games like Callisto Protocol it shows the lead over 13900k.

Im waiting for 7800x3d anyway as i have 7000 cpu already no need to rush things.

HU on top of their game as always. The simulated 7800x3d idea is good. Disabling second ccd actually shows gains in most games. Wait for 7800x3d guys

It does not surprise me at all... multiple ccx's is always going to be an issue in games. Just like E-waste cores are on intel. Disable that crap.

How on earth is the 5800X3D not included in the gaming benchmark comparisons? That makes absolutely 0 sense.
