Yes, in most cases, it'll be slightly slower than the 7950X. Keep in mind that the 7950X also enjoys a higher TDP.Yeah but with asymmetric cores? half of which are 15% slower?... idk.
Yeah it will help in some WS tasks coded to take advantage of it, but in that setup those are mostly outliers.
There are still cases where the additional cache helps tremendously. F1 2021 and Watch Dogs Legion see enormous gains. Keep in mind that CPUs aren't like GPUs; they are latency engines, i.e. designed to reduce the latency of a task. For them, latency trumps bandwidth, and L3 cache's latency advantage is even greater for Zen 4 because of Zen 4's higher clocks.Seems like the 3D cache was much more beneficial with DDR4. DDR5 almost doubles the bandwidth with similar latency, so the gains are much smaller.
