The review embargo for the new AMD Zen 4 CPUs with 3D V-Cache will be lifted on February 27th. However, the first gaming benchmarks for the flagship model, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, have appeared online.
On one hand, we have some first-party official gaming benchmarks, coming directly from AMD. AMD claims that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D will be 6% faster on average than the Intel i9 13900K at 1080p. The red team also claims that this CPU will be 16% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X. The slides are courtesy of HDTecnologia.
Then, chii11eddog leaked some third-party gaming benchmarks. Four games were used for these benchmarks, using an NVIDIA RTX3090. In those tests, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D was 12% faster than the Intel Core i9 13900K.
From the looks of it, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D will be able to beat Intel’s CPU in most gaming benchmarks. Still, there were some games in which the Intel Core i9 13900K was faster than the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
It will also be interesting to see the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 7800X3D. This particular CPU will have a single 8-core CCD and won’t rely on CCX scheduling. So, in theory, it may be the better option for gaming.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
