AMD today announced its Spring 2022 update for the company's Ryzen desktop processors, with as many as seven new processor models in the retail channel. The lineup is led by the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-core/16-thread processor, which AMD claims is the "world's fastest gaming processor." This processor introduces the 3D Vertical Cache (3DV Cache) to the consumer space.

64 MB of fast SRAM is stacked on top of the region of the CCD (8-core chiplet) that has 32 MB of on-die L3 cache, with structural silicon leveling the region over the CPU cores with it. This SRAM is tied directly with the bi-directional ring-bus that interconnects the CPU cores, L3 cache, and IFOP (Infinity Fabric Over Package) interconnect. The result is 96 MB of seamless L3 cache, with each of the 8 "Zen 3" CPU cores having equal access to all of it.



AMD claims that 3DV Cache technology lends "Zen 3" a 15 percent average gaming performance boost over the standard "Zen 3" chiplet; which is akin to a generational performance increase. Performance gains can be over 20 percent in some cases. With this, AMD is claiming that the 5800X3D matches (or even beats) Intel's "Alder Lake" Core i9-12900K processor, which is where the company's "world's fastest gaming processor" claim comes from. The company hasn't had a chance to test the i9-12900KS, as none are available in the market.



The Ryzen 7 5800X3D in fact has lower clock speeds than the Ryzen 7 5800X. It ticks at 3.40 GHz base, and 4.50 GHz boost, compared to 3.80 GHz base, and 4.70 GHz boost frequency of the 5800X. This is probably because AMD achieved its performance targets for the 5800X3D at its given clocks, and the company wants to stick to the 105 W TDP figure of the 5800X.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is built in the same Socket AM4 package as the rest of the Ryzen 5000 desktop processor series, and is drop-in compatible with any AMD 400-series or 500-series chipset motherboard that has AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6 (or later). It will also be compatible with AMD 300-series chipset motherboards, with BIOS updates that encapsulate AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.7.

AMD is pricing the Ryzen 7 5800X3D at USD $449 (MSRP). The processor will be generally available from April 20, 2022. The PIB retail package lacks a stock cooler, but you're spoiled for choice with aftermarket Socket AM4-compatible coolers.

$450 so around €450? Oof.
 
Worlds fastest gaming processor, i guess they have tested it against ADL then to confirm it.

Hey guys, you know that bottleneck CPU situation you have because you are still gaming with an AMD RX 580 or Nvidia GTX 1060 thanks to the cost and supply of video cards being a total joke for the last two years in no small part by our own corporate greed? Well great news! You can further that bottleneck with our new CPU! No need to thank us, our stock price soaring to new heights is all the thanks we need.

What's your complaint here? And what's your solution to that complaint? You want AMD to stop making faster CPUs? These companies are pumping hardware out as fast as possible, it's not like they're slowing production down on purpose. Blaim the crypto people, just saw a video on YouTube where a guy is making a mining rig with 6x 3090s and has about 25 other RTX 3000 GPUs, and in the comments there were hundreds more of these people talking about the dozens of GPUs they have for mining.... I guarantee that if mining didn't exist, GPUs would be much closer to a realistic MSRP.
 
All those miners are on watch lists anyways..

My point is the release is nothing more than marketing drivel to fan boys (I would say the same thing if it was intel or any other brand) and while mining has had a major impact on GPU prices, Nvidia and AMD also take blame with their "limited" releases which they clearly knew would not meet the demand of the public and get swallowed up by miners and scalpers.
 
Hard pass. The regular 5800X is only like 6-7% slower than the 12900 at 1440p and the 12600 vs 12900 the gap is even smaller.

This chipset matching or slightly beating both of those for 1.5x the price isn't impressive.

The performance floor being raised at exactly the same price as the 5800x launched at means the entry-price for 8 cores is now below $300; even more hopeful, this $250 5700G at Microcenter may be the future price (post 5700x launch)


The 300-series chipsets getting a bump means that there is suddenly hope for old systems running these great-value 6-8 core updates!

That's always been the case with the gaming crown title. The next tier below (same gen) or discounted higher-end previous gens are all usually within a handful of percent margin anyways so it's mostly just fanboy hype (the practical gain gaming wise is minor)

and cars would be decently priced still.

crypto gets away with a lot of shit talking saying they are not the major contributor to the crisis going on. they 100% fucking are. and our Congress is to inept to do anything about it. humans are a useless species in general, as I always say, capable of so much, yet so little.

Just browsing Elon Musk twitter feed lately, the worlds richest man, gives me confirmation of my hypothesis.
 
Nah it is a Gaming Cpu now lets go, which one have higher performance in Games:

58003dv 450$ CPU + GTX 1650 = 700$
12400F 200$ + GTX 2060 12GB = 700$

:roll:

Hi,
Need better reviewer systems than that, at least use the same gpu's on both :laugh:

Games aren't the only use for a CPU.
Use a console if you only worry about that.

that would be a meaningful point if it wasn't for the fact that AMD themselves market it as "world's fastest gaming processor" and "claims that 3DV Cache technology lends "Zen 3" a 15 percent average gaming performance boost over the standard "Zen 3".
 
I don't believe world fastest gaming Processor ... BS PR...
 
I for one would love to test it on emulation, cache helps a lot there.

Up to 15% higher performance compared to 5950x,straight from the horse's mouth...0:40

Straight from the AMD guys mouth, sorry he would say that. Means shit without independent tests.
 
Certainly won't be the best all rounder. Likely not a choice for production work.

That's the stupidest comparison ever.

An overclocked 12400F will easily beat this world’s fastest processor ;)
So an overclocked 12400F can beat a 12900K? Is that what you're saying? :kookoo::kookoo:

The article claims equal if not slightly beating the 12900.

That's not really a ballsy claim. The last techpowerup CPU benchmark (late Jan) had the regular 5800x only 8.5% slower at 1080p and 6.5% slower at 1440p than the 12900.

If it was slower then there would be literally no point of releasing it, the performance gap (especially for the price increase) is already going to be bad value.

First this second Amd would not challenge them self with 5800 vs 5950.
