AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D

[FLEXOBENDER]

Doesn't matter. Its easier to cool due to better IHS and larger die. Plus 150 W is fine for even a cheap aftermarket cooler.

Uhm, people are consistently getting 100c+ temps all core with huge AIO's my dude. What the fuck.

Yes, but you still don't need an expensive cooler for games.

And now you don't need a 13900k for top gaming performance, what's your point?

Please don't shoot me just let's not forget 150w is 150w at 100c or 75c.

If buying new it's up for an amazing deal today I recently discovered.

Its down to 320 and i bought it. 310 on Newegg.

Yes, nice CPU AMD and the 7800X3D will sell well as long as people are willing to fork out the $$$ for the platform costs. No difference than Intel platform costs.

"Please double-check that there's eight items that get installed, I've had one installation where only seven entries showed up and performance was much lower than expected"

Any chance of showing a few benchmarks and give an example of what happens so people are aware of the consequences?

This doesn't seem as idiot proof as Intel but in saying that I did have to update my ME driver for my 13900K to work properly on my original Z690 Strix I was running at the time.

The Power consumption for these new X3D's are the real winner here. Intel definitely got punished in this department.

This CPU is a very good all rounder!

Well Done AMD. Congrats.

I'm so tempted but but a bit sad in a way I've already completed my AMD spending for a few years and gonna ride the wave of productivity for awhile.

My excuse is that my daughter wants a new destkop, shes 11 and wants to game with her dad. While being true i have many other parts to make her a computer.

If you care about power you aren’t an enthusiast.

If you care about your reputation you will be honest with yourself.

Just a really ignorant statement. Half of the engineering Intel invested in the 13900k was to deal with the heat I bet. That's the best they could do. If they could have done better you better believe they would have. Just dumb ....really.

Gamers Nexus has a few examples of it using the previous driver before it was "X3D ready"

Performance regressions put it anywhere between 7600x to 7900x in terms of performance but some outliers really put it down even with 5xxx series parts.

I can continue but I think the point it's clear. You need to update your biases about DDR4 and DDR5 (and I'm writing this from a computer with DDR5).

This is a pointless benchmark for most amateur and semi-pro users since Blender 3.x is free.

Cinema 4D R25 has USD $3495.00 single-user perpetual license or USD $719.00 billed annually. Cinebench R23 doesn't use AVX-512.

My 2200g set to 35w disagrees with you.

Great review @W1zzard Ty.

Not quite as good as hoped but pretty darned fast no doubt, now deer boss dude sort my bonus out you Git and I'm onit, till then ima re read that review..

 

[RogueSix]

Would it be correct to assume that the 7800X3D will not require 'Game Mode' and the yucky Xbox Game Bar? That stuff is only required because of the CCD assignment, right?

 

[sweatypickle]

@W1zzard Why did you switch to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe from Mario Odyssey with Ryujinx?

Yes.

 

[tpa-pr]

Even from a layman's perspective, these are some impressive numbers. I'll keep my 7700X but kudos to AMD for this one. I'm looking forward to hearing about the chip from other TPU members in the Zen Garden!

If you're worried about CCD, core parking or whatever other fancy stuff that comes to mind just use this ~

Honestly unless you game at 1440p or less, or do emulation, the only real benefit is better power efficiency. For productivity unfortunately, it's a regression or tie at best when OC'd and undervolted. But it's a lot better than running a 7950X at 105W though it would seem. Maybe the real test should be 7900X3D vs 7900 and see how the performance vs power stacks up. Maybe do a test vs 7950X running at 105W to ram home the performance gap.

Still uses a crap ton less juice than the 13900K.

Amazing hardware, but there is absolutely 0% chance I will ever bother with any of this:

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Review - Best of Both Worlds

The Ryzen 9 7950X3D is the spearhead of the AMD Zen 4 X3D lineup. In our performance review we test AMD's new 16-core flagship with dozens of applications and 14 games at up to 4K, to see whether AMD can take the performance crown from Intel, how power consumption is affected, and what can be...

EVER

7800X3D it is then

 

[Count Shagula]

I bought 128gig of DDR5 in preparation for these dropping. Looks like an awesome cpu. I will wait to see the 7900/7800 reviews before i buy one but its almost time to retire my 5800X3D to one of my kids machines

 

[Psychoholic]

Awesome CPU, they should have implemented something like intel had with the "legacy game mode" where you could disable the e-cores with scroll lock key.
I guess that wouldnt work the same way in this case though.

 

[Adonisds]

In the game tests the relative performance is not consistent with the average of average fps. The order of cpus even change.

Thanks for the best CPU reviews available anywhere, as always

 

[Garrus]

Gigabyte seems to have much lower boot times than Asus, except my Asus Tuf ATX booted fast also unlike this higher end model used for testing. Interesting.

 

[ahenriquedsj]

Well done AMD!

Yeah, the cost for the cooling solution is worth pointing out, even more so when comparing the 7800X3D an the 13900K, quite a difference.

Also, don't forget RAM price, as the 3D models seems to be less sensitive to RAM specs (besides not going very high in Hz lol). For games that is, so maybe not worthwhile for the 7950X3D.

Has anyone seen more RAM scaling tests besides this? (Only this one benchmark at 9:18) I haven't looked around that much yet.

 

[Hyderz]

this an impressive cpu, gameplay or productivity is awesome
