Gonna test my 12700k while gaming later, have got farcry 6 and dying light 2 to compare.

I can confirm the cyberpunk numbers, on 12900k it draws a LOT of power (ive seen it peak at 170 watts, lol). The rest seem questionable though, the peak numbers sure, but the averages seem way too high for the 12900k.

Regardless, the 3d consumption is impressive.

The new 5800X3D shows lower numbers - I guess improved and mature N7 process, better binning and lower operating frequencies.

My guess is lower frequencies and the cache. With 96mb there is less reason to make trips out to main memory which lowers power consumption.

How much less are actually these "trips"?
With small additional L3 cache vs without it?

I get what you're saying, but at the same time if the additional cache results in it never having the extremes of a heavy vehicle driving over it then it does in fact provide additional stability does it not!!? It's not so much a case of can you add more weight until the bridge collapses, but can you add more weight without it collapsing.

I guess potentially an unstable config will be less crashy?

IME the grey area between 'rock-stable' and 'doesn't even boot' with Zen3 RAM timings is quiet small. If it passes 60 seconds of MemTest86 I'm good with it, that's likely to result in less than one crash a month in real-world use.

The CPU spends less time stalled due to a cache miss with a larger cache. It's basically fewer wasted CPU cycles waiting on system memory depending on the situation. How much different sized caches will help depends on the workload, the size of the dataset, the access patterns of said dataset, and the latency+bandwidth of said cache. Even that is an overly simplistic view because you have to consider any other tasks going on in a CPU at any given time.

It appears the extra cache has a big impact in a lot of games! If the price is not much over the 5800x then it would be well worth it for current ryzen owners with older cpus.
I could wear a slight performance loss in ms office and other programs etc if my games run faster . Probly want to check if most of the games you play would benefit from the extra 3d v cache first but !

I'm sure eventually there will be a database somewhere of affected games. More importantly, that impact will also mean gamers may hold onto the older builds longer. Of course hard core gamers will buy into Zen4 ASAP.

Not at that price. You might as well grab a 5900X as the pricing on Newegg for today is $399.99 The CPU pricing continue to decline. AMD made a BIG mistake on launching this so late. But of course people will buy this and spend the money on it.

Dont underestimate the size of the wallet of a hardcore gamer. If its faster, has more memory, and delivers higher 1% frames, they want it. Competitive gaming especially.

I guess they could sell a kidney if they get really desperate! Or better still, some one else's !
Unlimited supply of upgrades .....

But after several years the same games will become CPU-bound, when your new graphics card is twice as powerful or faster.

And it would not matter, even if it happens.
If FPS matters, it matters today too (competitive shooting).
