You can find Core i9-13900K for around $500 now, putting AMD’s new processor in direct competition with Intel’s flagship.įor a broad look at performance, Cinebench shows the core disparity between the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and flagship chips in action. Here, I’m comparing the Ryzen 7 7800X3D to the Core i9-13900K due to Intel’s recent drops in price. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D shows some gains, though it still falls short of the competition. Productivity performanceĪMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D struggled outside of gaming in the previous generation, and AMD focused on improving that area with its new 3D V-Cache processors. Unfortunately, traditional multiplier-based overclock is disabled, similar to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. I also left AMD’s Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) turned off, but keep in mind that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D can automatically overclock with PBO. Just like the Ryzen 9 7950X3D required, there were a few BIOS tweaks to make sure the Ryzen 7 7800X3D was running properly, but otherwise, I left BIOS settings default.
In addition to the hardware, I left ReBar turned on, as well as enabled EXPO or XMP for the memory. Otherwise, the platforms were identical from the power supply to the cooler. For both the Ryzen 7000 and Intel 13th-gen platforms, I used DDR5-6000 memory, but for Ryzen 5000, I was stuck with DDR4-3200. All three test benches used the RTX 4080 along with a 1TB MP400 NVMe SSD from Corsair. Test configurations Jacob Roach / Digital Trendsįor this review, I built three test beds and tried to balance them as evenly as possible.
Ultimately, that translates into higher gaming performance in some titles, which I’ll dig into later. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D doesn’t have that problem, which allows for faster transfers. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 7900X3D both used a dual CCX design, forcing AMD to focus the cache on a single CCX. Outside of what the spec sheet says, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is notable for using a single-core complex (CCX).
AMD’s processors have come down in price, as well, with the 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X going for slightly less than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. However, it’s not releasing in a new market.Īt the time of publication, Intel’s 13th-gen chips have come down significantly in price, and you can find the Core i9-13900K for around $500 and the Core i7-13700K for around $400. The good news is that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D doesn’t come with a price increase, clocking in at the same $450 that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D launched at.
