First Game Test With the Ryzen 7 5800X3D Appears as Promised
XanxoGaming has now posted its first game benchmark with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, paired with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition. They put it up against an Intel Core i9-12900KS and Core i9-12900K. However, as you might have deduced from the headline of this news post, so far, they've only run a single game, but are promising to deliver more results shortly. That single game so far is Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 720p and using low settings, which means that this is a far cry from a real world scenario, but it does at least give a first taste of what's to come. For whatever reason, the Core i9 systems are using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and the CPUs are paired with DDR5 memory rated at 4800 MHz CAS 40. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D has been given another pair of 8 GB modules, so it's now using dual rank memory, but still at 3200 MHz and CAS 14.
In their test, the Core i9-12900K averages around 190 FPS, which they place as their baseline. The Core i9-12900KS manages around 200 FPS, or a bit over a five percent improvement. These benchmark numbers are provided by CapFrameX that claims that due to the low resolution used, the GPU doesn't really matter and although it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, it's very close. So what about the Ryzen 7 5800X3D? Well, it gets an average FPS number of 231, which is a bit odd, since the Intel CPU benchmarks are rounded and the AMD ones are not. Regardless, that's over a 20 percent increase over the Core i9-12900K and over 15 percent of the Core i9-12900KS. XanxoGaming is promising more benchmarks and those will be delivered at 1080p at Ultra settings according to the publication. In other words, this is still not what most of us have been waiting for.

clickbaiting at its finest. "oh lookie here, performance tests!'
As for this test, they tested in 720p low, but with max shadows and ultra details. Theses settings have a good impact on CPU load.
But 720p test are not as synthetic as something like 3dmark, but they are not that useful as the mode you will end up using. I find it always best to get the information. The 1% low are probably a more important metrics than the average frame rate for CPU. You don't need a 5800x3d to play game at 4k, but in some instance, you can still see huge comfort gain over an old CPU while still not having huge gain on average FPS.
CPU are used to run the OS, to load game and decompress assets (for now at least). Having a faster CPU really improve the comfort and can reduce the stutter someone might occasionally get. (or like other have pointed out, speed up games where the simulations is the bottleneck)
And it's not at all about numbers of cores. If thoses numbers are true, then this cpu with 8 somehow slower cores is kicking at to a 8P+8E/24thread cpu and a 16cores/32 thread cpu. while being clocked lower.
I doubt the 3d cache will help with that, probably regular 5800x maxed crushes the 3d version in those games.
I'd like to see proper tests with 1% low on max OC 4790k and later generations in typical gamer workloads. Especially at 4k.
We won't get that though as the results probably upset AMD and Intel too much!
That was the geekbench test :laugh:
- straw man
They test at 720p because this is supposed to show the sheer difference between cpus with no other bottleneck present, that means reducing gpu load to the point the gpu is not a bottleneck. Just as running a 6600 at 4k ultra is not realistic either.
Emulation on the other hand is a different topic, and it's possible that we'll improvements there.
