That picture has the second CCD loaded.
The first CCD has the vcache, the second one is the regular one. We know this from physically seeing the hardware, it is visually distinct.

Yes so the 5.4 is probably the non 3D cache, all I can say is I would be surprised if the 3D cache runs at 5.4ghz. I guess the 5.7Ghz AMD stated is 1-2 cores, so that 5.4 is the all core on the non 3D cache, anyway will see tomorrow but I would be surprised if the 3D cache is at 5.4Ghz anyway.

Nice to see this thread heat up just before release. As always, the loudest in this thread are those with no intention of buying a 7950X3D (whether they be intel or AMD fans), bear that in mind prospective buyers! You'll see completely contrasting views here from Intel or AMD fans.

I'm most looking forward to seeing 1080P, 4k relative performance in a fair mix of games (RT games included) while also considering power draw efficiency. The 7950X3D should be so superior in performance/watt to 13900KS, it'll likely look similar to the bulldozer/haswell days :D

Oh and as always, not much point comparing 12900k to 7950X3D, at least compare current gen to current gen guys.... :D

It's not even the same gpu, I wouldn't try to compare his two images. The one with the 7950x3d is using an 7900xtx and the 12900k system is using a rtx3090. After doing a check with HUB. In this game the 7900xtx is about 35% faster than the rtx3090 at 1080p ultra and RT off. So most of the differenc between the 7950x3d and 12900k images is down to the GPU

I still wish the 3d is 60% faster than the 12900k. That would DEFINITELY make me upgrade, no questions asked. I mean I expect the 3d to be in fact faster than the 12900k almost across the board, not just in niche outlier cases, but 61%? I expect something more along the lines of 10-15% on average, with niche cases getting up to 30-50%

Im more interested about the power draw, cause that picture posted with the 7950x 3d in hogwarts was pretty terrible in power draw, I hope those were overclocked numbers and not stock.

I think you're all missing the point of the twitter image ref the 7950X3D...it's showing how you can use a tool to allocate threads to specific cores, it's not meant to demonstrate any performance difference between Intel and AMD. I think the 7950X3D image was more an epeen waving exercise ("Ooooh, look what I've got!")
 
This is the area he tested with the 3d, 12900k with ultra and low settings. If capframe X is running with ultra settings, that is a really impressive result. The power consumption is very meh on the other hand.

Outside of strictly FPS, can a higher core CPU decrease loading? Like quite a few games have shader compilation now, I was wondering if things like that would be quicker?

Does anyone know how many cores on the 7900x3D have the V cache yet? (6, 8 etc?).

I am perhaps a titch disappointed as as a new system buyer I was hoping for a true 'no brainer' decision. That said I don't really see a reason to go with a 13900K over the 7950X3D, and hopping on the AM5 platform gets me a cooler/more efficient system with an upgrade option 3 or 4 years down the road should I choose to do so (albeit for slightly higher initial platform price).

This. The only thing I was waiting on was to see if AMD could at least match the 13900 in games and apps. I dont want to spend £700 on a mobo for Intel when its a dead end with no upgrade path. At least now i have an alternative and can get the AMD cpu and have an upgrade path over the next few years without having to fork out for a new mobo or ram again.

apps likely be slightly lower what you get with current none x3d parts , with the cache ccd being lower clocked
main focus is gaming and still decent enough for productivity

I don’t think there is anything official on the core count although I have heard on here a few times that it’s 6+6.
 
although im waiting for reviews what I have seen so far im quite happy with. lookes like it will edge the 13900k, gives me performance in both productivity and gaming workloads, helps get the most out of my 4090 and gives me a decent upgrade path. Im quite happy with that.

Because they are testing the CPU's performance, not the GPU, the sort of thing you're talking about would not distinguish anything from a previous gen mid range CPU, in which case what is the point?

Except its clearly showing in 4k and 1440p reviews that the cpu has a massive bearing on the performance. My 9980xe is holding back my 4090 a lot.

up 50% difference in framerates at 1440p between a 13700 and a 5800x and up to 57% at 4k.

 
still think 13600k is really good option with dd4 and ddr5, but yeah if going for the high tier on either its looking likely AMD platform is the one to go for
