In early January, AMD unveiled its highly anticipated Ryzen 7000 processors with 3D V-Cache technology at CES.We’re still (patiently) awaiting reviews and availability, but in the meantime there are signs that reviewers are starting to get a grip on these chips. excavated This is one of the first benchmarks we’ve seen on the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D running the mighty GeForce RTX 4090 in the RTS game Ashes of The Singularity (AoTS).
of Score For this 12C/24T processor from AoTS, the current Crazy 1080p averaged 9000 over three runs with DX11. Digging into the AoTS benchmark database, we found a Crazy 1080p test using the same GPU and a non-3D V-Cache enhanced version of the Ryzen 9 7900X processor, scoring 4800 using DX12. If these snapshot AoTS benchmarks are representative of AoTS, AMD’s 3D V-Cache implementation shows a staggering 87.5% improvement in gaming performance. Given the inconsistent results of the AoTS benchmark and the small sample size, take this tremendous rise with a pinch of salt.
Adding evidence to the above comparison, further investigation found that the RTX 4090 system with the previous generation Ryzen 9 5800X3D 8C/16T CPU achieved a Crazy 1080p score of 13300 using DX12.
If you remember AMD’s presentation about their new Zen 4 desktop CPUs powered by 3D V-Cache, you’ll recall that the Ryzen 9 7900X3D is the trio’s mid-price solution. , you can see the respective MSRP.
Clearly, the 12C/24T 7900X3D would be Goldilocks’ option if the price was right in the middle between its siblings. However, the 8C/16T 7800X3D is $150 cheaper and the 16C/32T 7950X3D is only $100 more expensive. AMD shared first-party comparative gaming benchmarks of the 7800X3D and 7950X3D at CES, but unfortunately ignored the middle option.
Even if AMD shared the 7900X3D benchmark at CES, it would be better to wait for an independent third-party review before pre-allocating a new PC build (or upgrade) budget to fit either of these options. You’re smart. Stay tuned!
