@Solrac-Siul 4 ай бұрын
Depends on what you and others are doing and what version of the game it is (retail, classic, wrath). for examples in a hub, yes, a heavy combat scenario (raid, battleground, to an extent even a 5 man instance) and it starts to favor clock speed, not because of any fault on the 3d cache, just due to the client-server aspect . Use of combat reliant add ons that gather data such as dmg meters also tends to limit 3d cache performance advantage.

I upgraded my gaming PC from the Intel 12900K to the AMD 7800X3D last year mainly because I play Sim titles such as ACC. The 12900K is now used for dedicated live streaming/recording/editing. Where I see the 14900K being potentialy useful is for single gaming/streaming PC setups. You can put OBS on the efficieny cores only with Process Lasso with minimal impact to gaming perfomance. As you mention AMD has 7950X3D in response, but I didn't want to have to thread manage all my games so the 7800X3D is less hassle.

The data from your original CPU review for Starfield gave me the impression that Bethesda did most of their pre-release optimization for Zen 2 (for consoles), as there seemed to be less uplift than usual moving from Zen 2 CPUs to Zen 3 and 4, and it's good to see this having been addressed, as I'm sure plenty of Nvidia users are similarly pleased to see for their GPUs.

@@chanceneel1 the 5800X3D is still a great chip.

But the moment you bring in 4K with high emphasis on the heavier ray tracing titles, which in my opinion are the only (gaming-related) reasons to get a 4090, the 5800X3D is still plenty good. Heck I recently read a guy who had his 4090 paired with a 3700X.

I think you can argue that you can stream/record and still be a gamer first and foremost. Fewer cores impacts that so less headroom when streaming or gaming so that's a more valid disadvantage of the 7800X3D. In the end, I had to recommend an i7-14700K to someone over concerns of the cores being a limiting factor. The upgrading and electricity bill wasn't a concern for them either so it does seem to be best for them. I think fewer cores is a definite disadvantage, larger if they are core-heavy workloads but even when gaming & something it's a disadvantage. A video testing the impact to framerate when streaming/recording on AM5 processors and 13th/14th Gen processors will be very helpful.

Continue to do this until you hit a value that the PC is stable on. Option 2: Enable curve optimizer for each core. Start with a -30 on the first core and do the same process until it's stable. After the first core is stable move on to the next and dial in the value there. Per core is a better way to do it, but will take a lot more time to get perfect.

I picked up at 14700k for slightly less than the 13700k and a high-end Asus B760 (I got the K for the iGPU, not for overclocking so wasn't much point getting a z690/790). I chose the intel because a) I have 2x16gb sticks of DDR4 and didn't want to be forced into buying DDR5 RAM that would have had negligible performance benefits and I also use Intel Quick Sync for doing simultaneous video encoding alongside my 4070. I do a lot of video editing, 3D rendering and CAD and was upgrading from a 12600k so the Intel made more sense for a performance to expense ratio. Although one could argue that if I got an AMD with DDR 5 that I would have had more of an upgrade path, I imagine by the time I'm ready to upgrade, the state of DDR5 would be much improved and I wouldn't want to keep the older DDR5 anyway. Plus by the time I'm ready to upgrade, its possible that even AMD will have moved to a new socket design. The 14700k seems to be the CPU of choice for the latest generation and the performance difference between the i7 and i9 is minimal in real world applications, especially as you can get it for the close to the same price as the 13700k in most cases. Power usage is definitely a concern for many and I need to invest in a better AIO (or even an entry custom loop), but the 14th gen Intel CPUs do have some potentially significant advantages of their AMD counterparts when you consider more than just a pure performance comparison depending on your current equipment and use-case. The 14900k really missed the mark and feels like a throwback to the disappointment that was the 11900k, but I imagine Intel are pouring their energy into the 15th gen and the next gen of Arc GPUs.

RE power usage, would love to see reviewers do some testing on how these modern cpus can perform if power limited (e.g ECO mode on AMD, PL1/PL2 adjusted on intel2). Many of these top of the line CPUs, especially intel ones (x3d ones are a bit more limited due to the limits of v-cache) seem to just be pushed to the extreme for performance without any regards to efficiency by default.
@Winnetou17 4 ай бұрын
Yeah, I wish there was more on this. Intel CPUs can certainly be much more reasonably efficient if they wouldn't be pushed so high. Still don't think it will be better than AMD, but it might get pretty close. And same on AMD. I cringed so much when I saw people recommending R7 7700 over R7 7700X because "it consumes less". LoL, it's just capped by default, but the chip itself is not more efficient. Quite the contrary, a 7700X should, on average, have better silicon, so when limited to the same power it should give same or better clocks and viceversa. But somehow nobody was testing a 7700X in ECO mode... sigh.

This has been covered in previous Alder/Raptor Lake and Zen4 videos, by HUB and others. The CPU market is just tighter than past years and both companies are now allowing their CPUs to run closer to their thermal limits to get those last percentage points hoping to take that historically coveted claim to the performance crown. It is true for both CPUs that you can retain most of the performance with lower power consumption if you mess with settings.

@@Winnetou17 I mean, you're comparing a 4nm part to a 10nm part from Intel. Obviously by default, AMD is going to be more efficient. The only possible area where Intel _might_ have any chance to compete in terms of efficiency to performance, is in multi-threaded performance due to the extra E-cores.
@KITOMERO 4 ай бұрын
Hitting a power limit is not efficient nor performant because you're just massively downclocking the CPU with inconsistent and irregular clocks. Truthfully, the only way to see real efficiency is to leave power consumption uncapped, but see how far you can undervolt offset, and how much you want to underclock offset (if at all). On most Intel CPU's since Alder Lake, you can easily save 30 watts this way while keeping performance the exact same, or a 60+ watt reduction from a -100 mhz offset combined.

@@KITOMERO To be pedantic, it's TSMC 5N (the Ryzen 7000 chips) vs Intel's 10nm++++. And Intel's 10nm is/was roughly equivalent to TSMC's 7nm manufacturing node. So Intel is about half to one full node behind AMD on the manufacturing node used, given this 10nm is very mature. Still, yeah, unless something crazy is in one of their architecturese, AMD should win by default. Like M1 did vs the rest, just because it was on 5nm when everybody else was on 10 and 7nm. Now again with M3. And the added benefit of having an SoC. Anyway, I'm getting offtopic. Also, it has been that the E-cores are not that power efficient. They can be if you have a very light task. But on heavy task, when they have to go to 100%, they're pretty similar to P cores. They're named "efficiency cores" for marketing reasons, what Intel really wanted to them is to occupy as little space as possible, so they can add more of them, that was their goal.

@@dex4sure361 Hello there youngster of the gaming world. I can point to at least 10 instances where ATI/AMD had the outright fastest GPU in the last 30 years. 5 years ago Intel fanbois said, what you're saying now, about AMD's CPUs. That didn't age well, did it? AMD is expected to make $24B in 2023. Nvidia made $27B (their fiscal year ends in November). Intel is expected to make $16B. Take a good hard look at those numbers. AMD isn't "helpless". But they are first and foremost focusing RnD where they expect to make the most profit. And gaming cards is the lowest margin products (even Nvidia is only makes 35% on their gaming products), so that's not where they're currently putting their focus. They did, however, just launch the MI300X which is faster than Nvidia's current best AI accelerator. So it's not that AMD couldn't brute force a gaming performance win if they wanted to. It's that they know they won't make good money on it. The PS5 Pro is coming up in the not so distant future, and if the rumors are to be believed it will feature Zen 5 and RDNA4. This means that AMD is focusing RDNA4 on being mass producible, power efficient and with good yields (as they are paid per working chip by Sony). What this tells us is that AMD is probably not going to "go for gold" with RDNA4 on PC, but rather make sure the +20 million console units are a slam dunk. But with AMD's current financial situation I wouldn't count out that they're slating RDNA5 (so 3-4 years out) to be the all-out, chiplet-everything, financially viable crown contender.

Memory tuning might also be slightly time consuming, but it doesn’t take terribly long. Definitely not anything close to more time in the bios than playing games. I spent maybe two hours actually at my computer while tuning and testing memory and I can easily pass karhu 5000% and several hours of y cruncher while beating your 2560x1440 14900k results at 3440x1440 with a 13900k. I even beat your 7800x3D 2560x1440 HZD results while running 3440x1440. Lol. The 14900k is also more of a 13900KS than it is a 13900K. Doesn’t mean a whole lot, but it’s normally good for 200-300MHz higher with an OC than a 13900K.

@3:34 I'm pretty sure there's a drop in performance because ever since the SoC voltage bios fix, you have to manually set up the +200Mhz boost in the bios. I remember for a couple weeks I was going crazy because I couldn't figure out why my 7800X3D wouldn't boost past 4850Mhz after an Asus bios update. I loaded my same settings prior the bios update and just thought they really nerfed the CPU because of the burning up issue. Then I saw they added the core boost, changed it to +200Mhz and all was fine, and even a little better. So Prior to those bios updates, it would boost to 5050Mhz out of box. At least on my X670E Hero.

A disadvantage of the 7800X3D is that AM5 boot times can be quite high if you enable EXPO and let memory training rerun each time. (There is a setting in the bios to skip retraining which seems to alleviate this.)

This is valid if you play games all day long and parents pay your bills if you work on your pc, browse, watch movies and play a bit, and want to fiddle a bit with CPU settings, Intel may be a better choice - we wont know, as most reviewers dont discuss that topic (AMD idle power usage). Its not really a big thing to measure completely idle, normal usage (browser, watching YT) and gaming. Then based on calculator everybody can setup their own profile and calculate price difference. That could be paired with termals/noise in certain usage.
