Need to use Xbox game bar and set the windows power profile to balanced. The 7950X3D is faster than the 7800X3D so not going to see it at the top.

It's the wrong CCD being used. Instead of Windows using the one with the 3D V-Cache,its putting the load onto the other CCD. It's quite obvious looking at the Factorio and SOTTR results. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D was significantly faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X in these titles despite lower clockspeeds:

They're hiding the 7800X3D for sure. It's not possible for it to have issues of using the wrong cores and will have all the gaming performance of this flagship part.

Correct. Use the game bar and the right power setting and it will switch off the high frequency CCD during gaming. Otherwise they sit there active taking processes.

 

[rare]

Why do you need to use the gamebar? Just out of interest as I don’t know.

Isn’t it just an overlay / capture program ?

 

[KompuKare]

As expected, the perf/watt of Zen4 3D is far far better than Intel's brute force P4-style approach:

Zen 4 3D ist da. Im Test erweist sich AMDs Ryzen 9 7950X3D gegen 7950X, 5800X3D und Core i9-13900K(S) als schnell und effizient.

Since gaming doesn't generally max out the whole CPU that is a very impressive result.

The charts on their next page are actually more interesting:

but W1zzard didn't do a perf/watt per app so it would take a lot more work to do that.

CB did go a bit into memory tuning:

Looks like untuned vs tunes they only got 4% which isn't huge. But then I suspect that the 13900KS can be tuned better but I admire Zen 3D for its plug-and-play simplicity.

It recognises games (probably not perfect) then windows balanced mode parks the non-cache cores so they're out of the way for gaming performance.

Interesting, thanks I never knew that.

It never used to be this complicated I’m sure of it…!

It's a bit like the Intel Thread Director, in that it tried to ensure the correct threads go to the correct cores.

In the case of AMD though, they have piggybacked onto Microsoft's existing game mode for this, to ensure that games/threads that benefit from the extra 3D Cache get scheduled to those cores, whereas games/threads that don't benefit from extra cache, get scheduled to the none 3D Cache cores, and are able to use a little extra frequency.

Personally I don't like the idea of any extra software to do this (as there's always the possibility it will make a wrong decision), but at least AMD's solution looks to be tweakable (i.e. you can manually chose between prefer cache/prefer frequency, as well as leaving it as "auto").

In an ideal world, all cores would be equal (same cache, IPC, features) rather than the current trend for Heterogeneous architectures, but power, die space and cost are all factors in play now more than ever

Interesting, there's a checkbox to flag a program as "a game" so whatever the known game list you can update it with whatever you have.

It’s odd, having to rely on another piece of software and not even AMD’s own. I deffo think I will wait for the 7800. For purely playing games it should be ‘the best’ and none of this stuff to worry about.

Well, you know how the media like to use terms like decimated, slaughtered and so on?

Well ignore Zen4 3D's gaming prowess, in application loads the perf/watt loss is staggering.

For servers Intel would be loosing even more marketshare if corporate buyers weren't so conservative, but they still have over 3/4 of the market:
