Poll: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

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

Ryzen 5800X: Stock MT 4.6Ghz at 130 watts package power, R23 score 15200.

Curve Optimised: MT 4.9Ghz at 110 watts package power, R23 score 16124.

That's faster than a 10 core 10900K pulling more than twice the power, its why i bought it.

Memory overclocking:

Cheapest 32GB Kit i could find


XMP 3200MT/s, after OC 3800MT/s.

All of it daily use. its been running like this for more than 2 years, rock solid.

What's the single thread score?
 
I think I'm doing something wrong on my Ryzen 7 7700. I enabled PBO and went into the curve thingy and set everything to -30. It booted fine, ran a bunch of benchmarks and it seemed fine but the power draw was unchanged and temps only slightly reduced. VCore did seem down though, not sure how that works without the Watts going down. I then increased the max clock speed by 100 and it still seemed fine (although I've not done a super long Prime95 run). Scores seemed a little higher and temps were up, but it doesn't really feel what I'm doing has much effect.

Whats your PTT? whatever it is reduce it by 10% and see what happens to the power usage and performance.
 
Why would you need more than 6 cores? If anything you want fewer faster cores.

Also Elden Ring runs maxed out on a potato, so not sure why again you need more than 6 cores (or why you'd need a 4090 for that matter).
Why would you need more than 4 or even 2 cores if we go down that road? AI, physics, audio, etc and etc. Same for graphics card.

Elder Ring is a simple game, not much going on, of course it should run good on a potato.
 
Sorry if i've missed this but what memory MT is the sweet spot on the 7xxx Or is that not a thing anymore? I'm coming from a 3900X where 3600 was deemed the spot

FC6 does not need more than 6 cores since that was the topic.

The person we are all replying to claimed Elden Ring required more than 6 cores.

Far Cry 6, Spider-Man Remastered and Elden Ring. At 4k with 4090, turning on RT seems to really stress the CPU in general, meaning 6 core CPU's just aren't good enough.

Note, for the money, the 7600 I have is an excellent CPU. I just bought it to DOA test my AM5 gear ahead of the X3D launch in a few weeks :)

That's an odd thing to say to someone who has a 5800X3D, i think we can safely assume he bought it for its gaming performance, not R23 scores, he's emphasising how bad his 5800X was when he says he got a "Lemon"

Since it was mentioned CB, MT scorers and 5800x, I thought he may use it for something else as well other than gaming, but it was also a general view also insofar as 5800x3d gaming performance isn't represented into other benchmarks like CB, where it was the general "battle" between Intel and AMD (or at least that was my impression). Also, I haven't looked much into it, but I think 5800x3d doesn't need that much of a fast RAM to be good - but I may be wrong.

I stand corrected.
 
This is interesting, MLID is talking to some server guy about Intel vs AMD.

Annalists claim AMD can get to 40% market share in the next couple of years, this guy says that's very dangerous to Intel, he says the tipping point of no return is 37%, if AMD hit 37% Intel are in trouble, the reason being is that's the point where people take them as seriously as Intel so products will be sure to be supported.
Intel can't come back from that because they spend a lot of capital on insuring they have the best product support, because of that Intel's margins would be very low.
That is already happening, AMD margins on server right now are 30%, Intel's are 11% and despite this AMD's market share is already at 30% and growing.

No way can intel support it's ridiculously inefficient business if AMD actually succeed in absorbing a decent chunk of the market.

Intel will be pushing prices up because Ice Lake is very much more expensive to make and in almost all cases that matter still not as good as Genoa never mind Bergamo.

Intel are also trying a new lock-in approach by pay-walling some features that AMD could do as part of the hardware for free. its "Idiotic"

Pumping big watts in to server chips is also problematic not least because of the running costs but also because you need water cooling to run them and data centres don't like that as its difficult to get qualified service technicians and they worry about reliability, a leak could easily write off a million $ rack.

PS: some of his Intel contacts are now at AMD, lol...
