AMD Ryzen 7 9700X “Zen 5” Is 2% Faster Than Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU In Games
AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 9700X "Zen 5" CPU is said to be 2% faster on average versus the Ryzen 7 7800X3D "3D V-Cache" chip in games.
AMD's 8-Core Ryzen 7 9700X "Zen 5" CPU Should Be A Tad Bit Faster Than Ryzen 7 7800X3D Without 3D V-Cache In Gaming Tests
AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X CPU is an 8-Core Zen 5 CPU that is aiming to compete with Intel's Core i5-14600K and most importantly, AMD's own Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which has been the best seller at various retailers since its launch. The 3D V-cache chip is regarded as the most efficient and best gaming CPU within its price range but the new Zen 5 chips should be able to compete favorably against the older 3D V-cache parts.

According to Mark Campbell of Overclock3d, it looks like AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X "Zen 5" Desktop CPU might just be able to outperform the Ryzen 7 7800X3D in gaming benchmarks. During the AMD Tech Day, the company only compared the Ryzen 7 9700X against the much older Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which has had a phenomenal run on the AM4 platform. Versus the 5800X3D, the new Ryzen 7 9700X scores up to 30% faster performance in games and 12% on average.
That's great considering the Ryzen 7 5800X3D ran at a TDP of 105W while the Ryzen 7 9700X CPU has a rated TDP of just 65W. So not only is the Ryzen 7 9700X going to consume way lower power but it should also run cooler as we reported in our deep-dive of the Ryzen 9000 CPUs here.
AMD also commented on the performance of the Ryzen 7 9700X versus the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and revealed that the new Zen 5 Desktop CPU should be able to perform 2% faster on average in the same tests that were used to compare the 9700X against the 5800X3D. AMD did cherry-pick a few games to showcase the gaming performance so the overall gaming numbers might vary from a chip-to-chip basis. In some games that can use 3D V-Cache efficiently, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D should still be the king in
