AMD Shares First Official Ryzen 7 7800X3D Gaming Benchmarks vs Core i9-13900K, Up To 24% Faster
AMD finally made its own with the long-awaited $449 Ryzen 7 7800X3D taking on Intel’s flagship $589 Core i9-13900K, winning 20% average and up to 24% in a single title. We’ve finally shared the official gaming benchmarks.The new benchmarks also offer a limited comparison between the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. This means that cheap chips offer roughly the same level of gaming performance as expensive flagships.
AMD Has Already Released Its $699 Flagship Ryzen 9 7950X3D With 3D V-Cache To Critical Acclaim, And The New Chip Takes The Crown As The Best CPU For Gaming, Dominating The CPU Benchmark Tiers maintains a strong presence. The company also modestly launched the $599 Ryzen 9 7900X3D without a sampling press (you can see the review at the link).
However, AMD is stingy with its benchmarks, with its $449 8-core Ryzen 7 7800X3D chip waiting until April to launch, only comparing it to the previous-gen Ryzen 7 5800X3D in gaming, a perfectly relevant Core I haven’t compared it to the i9. 13900K and Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
That may be because the 7800X3D is too good for its own good.According to an AMD rep, the 78000X3D provides the majority of gaming performance from 3D V-Cache, but other Much more affordable than the X3D model. So, naturally, if the 7800X3D offers about the same level of gaming performance at $250 less than the flagship, there’s not much reason to buy the pricier model once the 7800X3D arrives.
We’ll have to see if things hold out in our own benchmark tests, but it looks like the Ryzen 7 7800X3D will steal the performance crown from Intel’s Raptor Lake when it comes out next month. I am certainly painting that picture.
Take these benchmarks into consideration as well as any benchmarks provided by the vendor. (I’ve included the test notes below in the test setup details, but the ‘5’ footnote doesn’t mention the 13900K details, they’re in the ‘2’ footnote).
Earlier we saw the bottom half of the chart comparing the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. But the top half is new with four gaming benchmarks against the Core i9-13900K.
AMD claims the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is on average 20% faster in games than the Core i9-13900K across these gaming benchmarks. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is Horizon Zero Dawn23% winrate on red dead redemption 218% winrate at Total War: Three Kingdomsand 13% win rainbow six siege.
This is a limited selection of games and tends to be the type of titles that benefit from the gaming benefits of 3D V-Cache, while some games don’t benefit as much. This list does not, as some games in the Overall Distorted.
A thumbnail contains a comparison of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the Core i9-13900K. Here we see that AMD tested his two of the same game against the Core i9-13900K on both his 7950X3D and 7800X3D. This helps us do a small comparison between at least two AMD chips.
of Horizon Zero Dawn (It’s not “down” as listed on the slide), we can see that the 7800X3D is only 3% slower than the 7950X3D, but the two chips are tied together. rainbow six sage.
Yes, it doesn’t perform very well in the two benchmarks, but the 7800X3D certainly lives up to our guess of within 5% of the 7950X3D’s performance and $250 less. Of course, our review will have to see how it performs on a wider range of gaming benchmarks.

AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a lot of potential and we believe it will be this generation’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D. This is an overwhelming choice for gamers who are only interested in gaming.
The 12-core and 16-core Ryzen 7000X3D bring 3D V-Cache technology to AMD’s multi-compute chiplet processors for the first time (more info here). The Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a single chiplet and behaves like a traditional CPU. AMD’s special driver source does a great job of delivering exceptional gaming performance without user intervention, but the 7800X3D features a simpler plug-and-play implementation.
AMD has also been strangely silent about the 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and for various reasons. AMD has not shared any official benchmarks for his 7900X3D and has not provided any samples to the press. I can see why. Our review of the Ryzen 9 7900X3D found the price/performance ratio to be unattractive. If you’re looking to buy on the high end, there’s no reason not to shell out a relatively small extra buck to get the flagship he Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
In contrast, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D seems to be the complete opposite. This chip could seriously hurt the sales of high-end models. We can confirm that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D will launch on his April 6th, 2023 with reviews coming out in the same time frame.
