Poll: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

Will you be purchasing the 7800X3D on the 6th?

Anyone of the current range of CPU’s pretty much perform the same at 4k. Any differences even with a 4090 will be minor. It might get better consistency though, better lows etc. for gaming I wouldn’t personally bother with a 7950x3d. Unless you specifically need the extra cores for other workloads it’s only an 8 core gaming CPU anyway…so buy the 7800.
You get better consistency yeah in areas that are CPU heavy you don't get the drops or at least they don't drop nearly as much I noticed that when I switched to 5800x3d, its a smoother experience.
 
7800x3d decent for gaming, better than the 2ccd versions plagued with cpu scheduler issues.
Still no clear victory over the raptorlake offerings since raptorlake does better in some games and better in productivity at same price points.
Bring on zen5 now

lol "decent for gaming". Just about every review has given this the gaming cpu crown. If you want productivity there's other options vs a gaming centric cpu.

with half the power usage.... intels fake E cores are laughable.

Man trying to get an accurate comparison of the 7950x3d and 7800x3d seems like an utter mess. Every reviewer gets different performance values for the 7950x3d due to it's utterly messy scheduling so it's difficult to know which is the truth. Hardware Unboxed seem to be the most favourable with most titles being slightly higher on the 7950x3d(not high enough to justify the £250 price increase of course) besides a few exceptions like factorio which just goes on the wrong CCD then you've got linus showing it far behind by a much more significant amount to the 7800x3d and it's just confusing why.
Just stick with Gamers Nexus. Unbiased and thorough review. It shows where one works vs the other.

Crown would be a bit extreme but it is still awesome as a CPU. It wins on very cache heavy games. However where frequency and cores come into play it’s certainly not the best. It’s running at 4.85 GHz with no option to go beyond 8 cores when it’s needed. Once the cache comes into play it wins.

Its faster than intel's fastest more often than not, so crown would be accurate, and just about any review I've watched bears that out, it wins a lot more than it loses for gaming.

Yes it wins out on gaming vs Intel. I was referring to the 7950X3D not that we would ever notice a difference at higher resolutions except in some core heavy games like cyberpunk.

:confused: Why did you mention 8 cores and 4.85ghz if referencing the 7950x?

Because the 7950X3D is running 5.25 GHz on the 8 core 3D cache CCD and it can also scale to 16 cores when needed which some games do need. The 7800X3D is running 4.85 GHz according to GN.

You forgot to add in the power it's using while doing it Which is great because intel will have to respond to that they can't ignore it

None of the reviews are thorough. They lack turn time tests in Civ 6/Old World/Humankind. They lack paradox Clausewitz engine tic rate tests in HOI4/Stellaris/CK3 etc. No tic rate tests for Cities Skylines or other city/base building games.

What about ARPGs like D4 or PoE. Where is the Football Manager calculation rate test?

To call what the tech tubers put out thorough is just utterly incorrect imo.

i doubt that's the case at all because the 7800x3d is literally doing better on games that use 3d cache

Yes something needs to be investigated more. Either it’s boosting higher (that would have been observed and it wasn’t) or they haven’t ironed out the scheduling right so we should see a boost coming in further updates.

You are using two different numbers and calling them the same.

7950X3D = 5.25GHz in low threaded workloads
7800X3D = 4.85GHz in multithreaded benchmark

7800X3D is doing 5.05GHz if you use the same standards as when saying 7950X3D is doing 5.25GHz.
