The Peruvian tech site XanxoGaming has run benchmark tests on what they claim is a retail version of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D . No PC games were tested with this CPU, as the benchmarks are standard rendering tests and are of the sys-info type.
This last point is somewhat disappointing, given that AMD touted the suitability of the 3D Cache for PC gaming. In a selection of popular modern and classic games, AMD's integrated graphics showed the new Ryzen 7 5800X3D to be 15% better than the 5900X , and to outperform the Intel Core i9-12900K.
The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is put to the test, and it does not beat the i9-12900K
The benchmarks performed on the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D were Cinebench, Geekbench, CPU-Z, and Blender. Given the lack of gaming benchmarks, they promise to release these tests soon. The 5800X3D was tested on a Gigabyte AORUS Master X570 motherboard with BIOS F36C optimized for the 5800X3D, 16 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU, using Windows 10. The results were as follows:
- Cinebench R23 (1T/nT): 1493 / 15060
- Geekbench 5 (1T/nT): 1639 / 10498
- CPU-Z (1T/nT): 617 / 6506
The results show that in the same configuration, the CPU with 3D cache is as fast as the Ryzen 7 5700X in many single- and multi-core tests. This could be due to the lower clock speeds. When V-cache comes into play in certain applications, such as rendering tasks in Blender, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D outperforms the standard Ryzen 7 5800X by up to 11%.
One of the notable points of the comparison is that in none of the benchmarks did the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D outperform the Intel Core i9-12900K. In those tests, the results were 2003 / 27483 for Cinebench R23 (1T/nT), 1992 / 17172 for Geekbench 5 (1T/nT), and 831 / 11440 for CPU-Z (1T/nT). The comparison would most likely be less favorable if the same setup were used with the Intel Core i9-12900KS . However, part of this difference in scores could be explained by the fact that AMD's 3D cache is designed for responsiveness in games, not for pure rendering.
AMD has explained that the 3D cache is sensitive to higher voltages, thus preventing the user from adjusting the core voltage and CPU frequency. All motherboard manufacturers are preparing BIOS updates to fully support the new chip and some, like Gigabyte, seem to suggest that they have implemented changes for AMD's new V-Cache optimizer. So it is possible that as soon as the drivers are updated, there will be more beneficial tests for the future AMD CPU.
