AMD claims Ryzen 9 7950X3D to be up to 24% faster in games than Intel’s Core i9-13900K

A few hours ago, AMD officially revealed its new Zen 4 CPUs that will be using its 3D V-Cache technology. The red team will release three CPUs with 3D V-Cache, and shared some gaming benchmarks for the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

7950X3D specs

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D will have 8 CPU cores, will support 16 threads, can hit frequencies up to 5.0Ghz, and has 104MB Cache. On the other hand, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D will have 12 cores, will support 24 threads, can hit frequencies up to 5.6Ghz, and will have 140MB Cache. And lastly, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D will have 16 cores, will support 32 threads, can hit frequencies up to 5.7Ghz, and will have 144MB Cache.

AMD states that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D will be up to 30% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in CPU-bound games at 1080p.

AMD also claims that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is faster than Intel’s high-end CPU model, the Intel Core i9 13900K. The red team claims that the new AMD CPU can be up to 24% faster than Intel’s counterpart.

  1. No info on pricing tells me that these are going to be quite expensive. It also seems a little odd to me that all 3 CPUs have the same default TDP. Wouldn’t that cripple the 16 core part’s performance a tad?

        1. It’s a made up number that, as part of the calculation, refers to ambient temperature of all things. You cannot calculate actual watts from it. They will pull 180 watts and still be within spec.

          What is really sketchy is how they are only putting V-Cache on one chiplet — that’s why the 7900/50 boost higher, one chiplet will boost normal, the one with the V-Cache will be limited to 5.0. but don’t expect AMD to highlight that.

  2. The same way 7900XTX was going to see 50 – 60% performance over previous gen? XD

    Ya, I’ll wait for the real world numbers. AMD simply can’t be trusted.

  3. I lost all interest in the AMD platform after they forced users to use DDR5.

    My DDR4 works just fine thank you, I am not about to throw away $200 I spent on my DDR4 just to buy DDR5 for a 1% performance benefit.

    Intel does not force users to buy DDR5.

      1. Um, that’s a pretty big generalization. I don’t know what games you play, but you cannot get lower latency than b-die on 13th Gen. Not to mention that a $300 13600k will do 5.7 all-core all day without touching voltage. Boost to 6.1 with an little time in bios and an AIO.

        And as far as DDR5 is concerned, a kit of Hynix M-die is a kit of Hynix M-die — whether they sell it as 6200 or 6800, they ALL overclock the same. With AMD you might as well just buy a Samsung kit because you aren’t getting higher than 6000m/t with that 3000mhz FLCK. Easy to write if off as “it’s just fast DDR5,” but if AMD can’t run “fast” DDR5 anyway, and “fast” DDR5 is the same damn price as “not fast,” or, as AMD would call it “sweet spot” DDR5 there’s literally no argument. Just copium.

        To each his own. But when 8 layer, 20phase/105 amp z690’s are $300, a CPU that an idiot can OC to 5.7/4.2 is $300, and M-Die that will do tight timings at 6800m/t is now under $250… well the sales speak for themselves.

    1. What a stupid way of looking at things. Using your logic then why not complain about also having to get a new motherboard or anything else for that matter. Prices are dropping fast on DDR5 so all the hell you would have to do is sell off your DDR4 to offset some of the cost.
