AMD's official gaming performance benchmarks for the Ryzen 9 7950X3D 3D V_Cache CPU have leaked out by HDTecnologia.
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is the flagship & the first 16-core CPU to feature 3D V-Cache technology. The chip will incorporate a total of 32 threads, a total of 144 MB cache (64 MB CCD, 64 MB V-Cache + 16 MB L2), and a TDP of 120W. As for the clocks, the chip is rated at a base clock of 4.2 GHz which is 300 MHz slower than the standard 7950X but boost clocks are rated at the same 5.7 GHz. This should give us a hint at why the TDP is 50W lower versus the Non-3D part.
As per the official performance numbers, it looks like AMD's fastest 3D V-Cache chip, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, may not be such a huge performance uplift over Intel's fastest chip, the Core i9-13900K. The company seems to be using the latest platforms for both chips with DDR5-6000 dual-channel memory. Now Intel's 13th Gen CPU lineup tends to support much higher memory frequencies vs the AMD offerings so enthusiast users running a 13900K may not be pairing them up with a 6000 Mbps kit but rather go for something like a DDR5-7000 or higher kit which should also reduce the performance gap.
The benchmarks show the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU running both the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and the GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs. A large variety of games were used for benchmarking and it looks like the 3D V-Cache chip offers a +5.6% improvement over the Core i9-13900K when running the 7900 XTX GPU and a 6% gain when using the GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. AMD also compares the 7950X3D against the standard 7950X. Using the same GeForce RTX 4090 configuration at 1080p, the 3D chip offers a 16% increase over its non-3D sibling.
Looking at the benchmark numbers, two titles really do stand out which
