First review of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU with 3D V-Cache comes early – Computer – News

Tech website XanxoGaming has early published a review of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU. The website tests the processor in Geekbench and Cinebench 23, among others, in which the CPU scores slightly lower than the Ryzen 7 5800X. The chip does better in Blender.

XanxoGaming claims to have an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D managed to purchase, VideoCardz notes. The processor would already be on sale in Peru, although it will not be officially released until April 20. The tech site would previously have been blacklisted by AMD, so that it does not receive review samples, but also does not have to follow embargo agreements.

The Peruvian tech website tested the CPU on a Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master, running in a beta bios with optimizations for 3D V-Cache CPUs. The test system ran on Windows 10 with 16GB of DDR4-3200 memory and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D features 3D V-Cache, for a total of 96MB of L3 cache. According to AMD, that would lead to performance gains of up to 15 percent in games, although those performance gains wouldn’t necessarily come through in synthetic benchmarks. In addition, the 5800X3D has slightly lower clock speeds than the Ryzen 7 5800X.

XanxoGaming publishes tests in the Geekbench 5.4.4 benchmark, in which the processor achieves single and multicore scores of 1639 and 10,498. According to the website, that singlecore score is slightly lower than the Ryzen 7 5800X, which would achieve a 1.9 percent higher score of 1671. The multicore score is slightly higher than the current 5800X, which would score 10,339 points.

In Cinebench 23, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D achieves single and multicore scores of 1493 and 15,060 respectively. The website does not publish comparisons, but in previous tests by Tweakers, the Ryzen 7 5800X achieved scores of 1,584 and 15,603. Furthermore, AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D scores 617 and 6506 points in the built-in CPU-Z benchmark, which would be lower than the i9-12900K reference data. In the Blender benchmark, the new Ryzen CPU outperforms the 5800X by 3.6 percent, although few samples of that benchmark are available either.

The processor has not yet been tested in games, while the processor seems to be positioned by AMD for that usage scenario. The website writes that it will soon share gaming performance of the chip, in which the processor will also be compared to Intel’s Core i9-12900KF. AMD will officially release the Ryzen 7 5800X3D on April 20. The processor has a suggested retail price of $449.
