AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU Review & Benchmarks: $700 Gaming Flagship

The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is launching alongside the R9 7900X3D, with the R7 7800X3D launching in April. The 7950X3D curiously was the only CPU sent, and given the unique core parking behavior in Windows, we wonder whether the 7900X3D might make more sense (or the 7800X3D, although its frequency is much lower). In this review of the R9 7950X3D, we'll benchmark gaming performance, production performance in Adobe software and code compiling (and more), power efficiency, and power consumption. Testing looks specifically at the Ryzen 9 7950X3D vs. the i9-13900K, i5-13600K, R9 7950X, and plenty of other CPUs. This is our first high-end CPU benchmark for 2023, helping you get back up to speed on the best CPUs out right now. The release date for the 7900X3D and 7950X3D is February 28, 2023, so they will not be available until the day after the reviews go up (which is a good thing - it gives time for people to make a decision).

Yes. But to be fair for Linux or whatever where your expected to be technical and have use for 8+ cores. I adore the idea of 8cores for games/cache applications. And 8cores dedicated with a extra + 8 lower clocked cores for compute tasks. Basically AMD uses big cores right now as there E-cores. And good on them for making something that good. But mainstream? Gamers? 5600(nonx), 5700x, 5800x3d, 7700x, 7800x3d. And Intel if they manage to deliver a value option or AMD is garbage. It depends really on AMD now. If the idea of free RAM and discounts on CPU and motherboards are not a sign of AMD failures then I do not know what else to say. I do like to mention how distasteful it is that AM5 launched with no real marketing about ECO mode. Did not ditch old coolers for better thermal dissipation benefits. Basically Ryzen 7000 is just Ryzen 5000 with the power usage of Intel. And bigger cache. PCIE 5.0 that is useless and almost DDR5 is also completely useless. And a premium for all of it that when there are 5700x and 5800x3d out there already with huge discounts on AM4 stuff. And since there is NO GPU out there worth buying that actually is bottlenecked by a 5700x. Let alone 5800x3d. AMD's biggest problem is AMD. Like ALLWAYS. Every single time outside of Ryzen 2000-5000 or something.

I really appreciate the 1% and 0.1% lows in the charts, especially the discussion about 'prefer frequency'. Too often people look at average FPS as their only metric. If you have a 120hz monitor, a stable 120fps is far better than something that fluctuates from 100 to 150.

@GraveUypo Жыл бұрын

i actually mostly look at 1% lows. averages are meaningless. what matter to me is "does it drop from the frame rate i want?" .1% lows are equally meaningless, because the amount of data necessary for this to be statistically relevant would mean that a .1% low of 60fps needs a benchmark 3 hours long. a 60 second benchmark with an average of 100 fps literally only uses 6 frames to calculate .1% lows. that's... meaningless. i wish people would use 5% lows instead.

Great and really detailed review,Steve ! However would have really liked to see the boosting behaviour of that monster . Like was it really 5.7 GHz single core or not , what was all-core boost frequency , all unparked core boost frequency and maybe how boost frequency changed in light-threaded (1-4 threads/cores) applications . Obviously I don't expect it to boost as much as 7950x since Tj max and TDP are lower with the same manufacturing node but still would have been intresting for future comparisons with other 7000 X3Ds when you'll finally get them .

I have been planning to get into video editing for Autocross this year and have been leaning towards upgrading to a 5950x from a 3700x instead of jumping to a 7950x, but maybe the x3D model might be a more balanced option for how I use my computer… I’ll have to think on it.

It depends. The 5950X is far better than the 5800X3D for video editing, and depending on the game, you may or may not see a difference.

According to phoronix, there are no kernel patches from AMD yet that change scheduling behavior. Benchmarks look still good though, 16% on avg over the 7950X in gaming. It is also easy to manually assign processes to cores (taskset in the console). Should be possible to add that to launch options in Steam and find the optimum placement for each game yourself. Though would be nice to know if AMD is working on the schedular.

A lot of sim players are the people who dump a lot of money into their systems just for a specific game, and those games make interesting test grounds being that they sit somewhere between a workstation task and a game. case and point: -From the Depths (if you crash one boat into another all 8 threads get pegged for a good 5 minuets) -KSP 1 (game has terrible optimization, so its more of a single core test sadly) -Dwarf Fortress (drain the ocean) - X-plane and MS Flight Sim with settings cranked to max for sim realism. it would be nice to see something of the sort added to your benchmark list so we can see how exceptionally CPU heavy or physics based games behave on CPUs.

Now, maybe they are actually doing something else and just using bad terms, but from their explanation, those cores are not available for use while gaming currently so that all the threads are forced onto the cache cores. I am just passing on what AMD's release seems to be saying. Having Windows parking core and then unparking them and putting them to use, then parking again each time a thread is created or continued would introduce a ton of latency at the Windows control level, so I don't see that happening. Remember, part of the issue here is Windows and how it runs. What AMD could do to make it work optimally is stuck with what Windows can actually work with unless they can bypass that and do it at the chip level. I have hope that this is a temporary situation and they will work out a way to have everything usable all the time and just have gaming threads directed to the correct cores.

I think, that depends on a workload. I don't expect 13900K to consume much more power than 7950x when gaming or single-core tasks, for example. Another point is how much time do you use your CPU at max power. I.e. maybe you run blender rendering for 3 hours a day, and 13900k consumes 150w more than 7950x; that's 150Wh*3 of difference per day, 13kWh difference per month. Not an insignificant amount, but if you spend 500+ USD on your CPU, you can probably manage extra electricity cost (roughly 7USD assuming 0.5USD/kWh)

Power consumption is big factor for you and you dont know anything about power consumption of 13900K. You are just ignoring the real world scenarios.

@@innocentiuslacrim2290 I'm still using my GTX 1080 and it's undervolted. I see no reason to upgrade to anything else since pretty much everything is either a negligible upgrade or the power consumption will have to be higher, and the GPU prices themselves are just disgusting.

You can run ECO mode on the 7950X, which is also close the the normal 7950X (about 1%-2%) with so much less power.

@@Hito343 Seems like that's the case for just about every product coming out, CPU or GPU, most could benefit from an undervolt. At least my last 2 GPUs, 5700XT and 3080 12GB both benefit, as does my 5800X, though I like to keep my system very quiet so there is definitely some preference in there.

I think the most interesting one is that 7950X3D's 1% low perfs are generally lower than 13900k's, which should have more consideration for playing games in high resolution and in the value component.
