The review embargo for the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D lifted today and surprisingly, some tech outlets simulated the results of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D with it.
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 7900X3D 3D V-Cache CPUs will be hitting retail shelves tomorrow for $699 and $599 US, respectively. The Ryzen 9 3D V-Cache duo may look enticing from a productivity + gaming standpoint but for those who purely want gaming performance, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D seems to be the best choice.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is definitely going to be the best choice for gamers at its price point of $449 US which is the same as the MSRP of its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. However, AMD is not launching the Ryzen 7 7800X3D until the 6th of April. One obvious reason is that it would eat up the sales of its 7950X3D and 7900X3D CPUs but another reason that might be overlooked is that the supply of the 3D V-Cache chips is limited and AMD knows that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is going to sell like hot cakes. As such, the company is going to build up a volume for a month or two before it hits retail while focusing on the niche Ryzen 9 market for now.
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU Simulated Efficiency (Credits: TechPowerUp):
Tech outlet, TechPowerUp, managed to simulate the results of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D by disabling the single Non-3D CCD of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. The Ryzen 9 3D V-Cache chips feature two CCDs, one with 3D V-cache stacking and the other without. Meanwhile, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D comes with a singular CCD with 3D V-Cache stacking.
Starting with the numbers, we first have to talk about efficiency which is the strongest suite of the Zen 4 core architecture and in gaming, the simulated AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D averaged around 50 Watts across a list of AAA
