AMD’s R7 5800X3D debuts 3D V-Cache. This review and benchmark of the Ryzen 5800X3D tests it vs. the Intel i9-12900KS & 12900K, AMD R7 5800X, and more CPUs.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D primarily focuses its marketing on gaming advancements, which is because the additional L3 Cache layer on the X3D will mostly be visible in gaming scenarios. Impact to certain production applications, like rendering in Cycles (Blender) or Adobe Premiere, will be limited more by frequency and core count than by cache. That said, gaming often benefits from extra cache, and we see that here. The R7 5800X3D puts the brand new Intel i9-12900KS to shame for value, and although the 5800X3D can’t be overclocked, it also doesn’t really need it. Memory tuning is still available, as is Infinity Fabric tuning, and that’s more important for AMD anyway.

Can't wait to peruse the OC settings for the 5900X in the article in the morning (midnight here) - sounds to me that AMD has kind of fibbed on the 15% if you're not running a well tuned PBO and max boost overclock on the other 5000 cpu's (and it seems you are not based on the frequencies you report the other 5000 cpu's to be running at), because you can't just compare stock apples to stock apples here solely just because its disabled on the 5800x3d. Hope there's no goalpost shifting on it, because that really only obscures the true end user performance.

So here we are 11 months later and the 5800X3D is still in the conversation, even against it's direct successor the 7800X3D. AMD gave customers a hell of a CPU for AM4 before ending the platform. While some ask why, I see intelligent motive. With the 5800X3D still in the conversation, not every Ryzen user needs to be an early adopter of AM5. Motherboards for AM5 are stupid expensive, so AMD said keep your X570 and install this. They also didn't price it to the moon and, more recently, you can find this chip for 320-350 on sale. That's insane value when you factor in not having to change literally anything else about your PC, just change the CPU, apply thermal paste to the cooler, hit F1, and you will see a noticeable upgrade for gaming no matter what previous chip you had.

@Quizack Жыл бұрын

I think it was a great idea. It cemented the X3D branding as a premium gaming focused chip line up in the eyes of consumers. If they started with a dud, consumers wouldn’t have been excited for the 7000X3D chips. It was also a massive cherry on top of the AM4 platform in general. It was such a great CPU, and it’s still relevant today.

@@kostastsitsis1309 I'd say a 5800X3D would be more than enough for any graphics card with 16GB of V-Ram, especially with the recent reviews and benchmarks of the 5700X3D that often compare it to the 5800X3D, along with comparisons AM5 and Intel CPUs. For anything short of an RTX 4090 and its $1,600+ price point, the 5800X3D will be an excellent performer for gaming that won't be holding your card back in any significant way. If you do content creation or streaming though, moving up to AM5 with the 7800X3D would be a much better choice while not being much distant in price. More often I've seen games capped out by the graphics card than the CPU when it comes to testing, especially for 4K resolutions where anything less than 16GB V-Ram on the graphics card will start to see major dips in performance. One thing to keep in mind is to not cheap out on your system's RAM. If you get the Micro Center Bundle for the 5800X3D for example, it only comes with 16GB of RAM and if you're on Windows 11 you really want 32GB to handle how much load Windows 11 and background/casual tasks can put on your RAM. So adding another 16GB of RAM on top of what that bundle provides would be a good idea, just make sure it's the exact same model of RAM.

What makes this so impressive is that this is a year old CPU that has been made to match and at times beat a brand new architecture just by adding innovative packaging. it's the same node, same architecture, with no clock speed improvements (a regression actually) and it can go toe to toe with the special edition of Intel's best new chip. What's going to happen when they put V-cache on Zen 4????

@zig131 2 жыл бұрын

The way I see it, you buy this CPU now, and you'll be largely future-proofed and won't have to upgrade for a few generations. Games are only now just about requiring 6 cores and the consoles are mostly going to running in 7 game thread modes so you're good on cores. Frequency is reasonable for the power efficiency and the amount of cache it has will more than sufficient for some time.

The best thing is, this was just a test run basically, and on a fairly old platform. Seeing how well it can do means same technology can be applied to future platforms and architectures, including GPU's since they also use L2 cache which is fairly important but is rarely ever talked about. Imagine if the same design were to applied to a flagship like a 5950X, or give a midrange option like 5600X. The possibilities are endless for the future. Instead of just piling on more cores and power/heat as not all games or applications need it. Interested to see how it bodes for the future.

One of my first thoughts when I heard of it was of how well it might do as an infinity cache alternative for the RDNA2/3 GPUs.

Imagine it on even lower end parts, like a 5300x3D. it would be hands down some of the best bang for buck performance. I can't wait to see this proof of concept being actualized and further pushing innovation. even if it completely crashes and burns it will still be a push in the right direction for the entire market. Almost makes me regret buying a 5600x, because in theory a 5600x3D would be nearly the same performance as a 5700x in gaming.

@dayotobiusa 2 жыл бұрын

@@mammy24 Eh, it would be cool... but not that plausible. They already bin (as you can see on the power consumption levels) these to be on the better side of the dies (probably not as good bins as the Epyc dies, but close) before they attach the cache. So, at best they might get enough defects to warrant a 5600x3d, but not lower. Edit: plus, you've gotta think of the margins. With this being a newly-produced technology, it's gotta eat up some of the profit margins of the chips. Lower-end chips already have the lowest margins, so economically they make the least sense to sell. Maybe in a couple years, when it has payed off its R&D costs, it might be plausible enough to make. But for now, the only lower end chips that are worthy of it are Epyc/Threadrippers, because even on their lower end they're expensive enough to cover the costs.

This CPU costs a lot of money and silicon to make. Essentially 50% more silicon making it cost similar to a 5900X or even a 5950X depending on how yielding that 3D bonding process is. Costs more raw materials and the extra production steps might make it not worth it to manufacture.

From my personal studies of software optimization i've learned that larger caches are excellent for poorly optimized code, or code where you have a lot of small objects and you don't bother keeping them in contiguous memory chunks. This is very much the case for many games and certain data formats like JSON, if you don't carefully design the code to collect all the little memory fragments into larger chunks. It is also very useful in cases where you have large datasets and need to jump around randomly to do calculations, since there is a greater chance that the data you need will still be in cache if it has more available cachelines. The improvements in cache makes me very excited to see what they will manage to do with their next generation of CPUs.

@andersjjensen 2 жыл бұрын

It will be interesting to see how Intel responds to this massive cache scheme, or if they respond at all.

Can't find ram specs, but you need above "supported spec" DDR5 to get more performance than 3200C14.

@rotor13 2 жыл бұрын

DDR5 is not mature and there really isn't software that can even utilize such large transfer speeds as it is. Just looking at DDR4 vs DDR5 benchmarks on any 12th gen Intel CPU, the difference is overall negligible with a massive financial penalty for adopting DDR5 early. You can't find DDR5 for less than $300. But you sure can find DDR4 for around $50-70 if you're not picky on RGB or heatspreader shape and color This isn't some "Intel is bad because DDR5 performance bad". This just means that DDR4 is still the best even while CPU manufacturers are migrating to support DDR5. Unless you're chasing benchmarks, you'll never see a true difference in RAM speed and latency going beyond 3600. best bang for buck is 3200.

This is such an interesting CPU, and gives a chance to show where cache really matters. This really makes me wonder what an x3D 5900x and 5950x would have looked like. It would have been interesting to see how it worked across chiplets. I also can't wait to see what an architecture that's built from the ground up for 3d cache can do, rather than it just being tacked on to an already funcional cpu at the end. As 3d stacking gets more complex, and moves to logic, I bet we see some interesting thermal solutions too. The future is exciting! Well... at least in tech it is.

Hardware Unboxed called this ages ago back when Zen3 launched. In response to Tech Deals going on about cores they practically proved that even in the cases where the higher core count parts outperformed the 6 core, it was due to their increased cache and not the actual cores. You could probably get the same results with a theoretical 5600X3D. Cache seems to be the limiting factor for CPU gaming performance right now.

@@AVerySillySausage Mostly, though in some games having more cores can drastically improve perceived smoothness by raising lows and improving frametime consistency. But that really depends on how well the game scales, and how much you have going on in the background, or even how old your windows install is. But yeah, overall a 5600x3D would be the same. I just wonder how two chiplets on a 5900/5950x3D would work out.

If yields are not so great, we could see an 8 core composed of two half-disabled (or 3+5/2+6/1+7) chiplets with cache stacked on top of both. I'd imagine the cache would help fight the latency cost of having the cores split across 2 chiplets. Would be a great gaming CPU without taking Chiplets away from productivity models.

@pirojfmifhghek566 2 жыл бұрын

It's probably best not to think of this as a 'reward' because that would imply that loyalty means anything in the pc computing space. Very few people buy "the newest and greatest" cpu every year. For most people, buying into any platform is a gamble and longevity is the goal. Last pc I built was a 6700k back in 2016 and it's still going strong (currently relegated to being a media computer). That was a solid value. AMD most certainly was not up on its game back in 2016, and the early AM4 socket had serious problems. Some BIOS updates would literally brick the motherboards. It was a bad time until Ryzen finally matured. If I'd bought in back then I would have had a _bad_ time. Zen 3 has been a banger, though. That's one of the big reasons why my current system is a 5900x. But I got that after enough time had passed that I could justify throwing money at a new motherboard and cpu. If I'd chosen an AM4 chip back in 2016, I would have had to suffer with AMD during a time when it was seriously lagging behind. If I'd built my computer in 2019/2020 and bought into the AM4 platform at Zen 2, the value proposition would have been a little better but it would also feel too soon to buy a new chip today. I'd basically be admitting that the Zen 2 chip I bought was a waste of money that didn't have the longevity. Another thing to consider is that buying a 5800X3D would have only allowed me to get more life out of the existing system, but it'd basically be a last-ditch effort to keep my *motherboard* relevant. A motherboard costs what... a hundred bucks? Two hundred bucks if I want a nice b550 board? It's kind of a silly thing to base so many decisions on. What matters most is how much computer you can get for the price, _when it's time to buy a computer._ If enough time has passed that I'm getting ready to upgrade some parts, I'm usually gonna need a new motherboard anyway. So the chipset really is irrelevant unless the parts I buy are failing me right out of the gate. So if you're somebody who is in the market for a decent gaming computer and you don't care what the platform is, the 5800X3D is genuinely the best value out there. The AM4 technology is as mature as it's ever gonna get. It's stable and it kicks ass. I think that's really all that needs to be said.
