During the CES 2023 exhibition, AMD announced the expansion of the Ryzen 7000 desktop processor line. In addition to the “standard” processors, 3 Ryzen 7000X3D series processors equipped with 3D V-Cache memory were announced. From April 6, the youngest and most affordable Ryzen 7 7800X3D model will finally go on sale. It got into the hands of reviewers ahead of time, who were able to evaluate its performance and compare it with competing solutions.

As a result, today several foreign resources published their Ryzen 7 7800X3D reviews. The full list will be at the end of the article, and now we will focus on the review of The Verge resource in more detail.
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D specifications
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor has an AM5 implementation. The chip contains 8 computing cores and supports 16 instruction streams. The cores work at a standard frequency of 4.2 GHz and support a Boost frequency of 5.0 GHz. The device contains 104 MB of cache memory (8 MB L2 + 96 MB L3). The TDP indicator is 120 W. The price of Ryzen 7 7800X3D is $449.
Tests
The Verge reviewers compared the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 7950X3D, Intel Core i9-13900K and 13900KS processors. All tests were performed with the latest Windows 11 2022 update with VBS protection disabled on all systems. The Resizable BAR feature has been activated. The tests were performed mainly at 1080p resolution to avoid the possible limitation of the graphics card (Nvidia RTX 4090) and to analyze the pure CPU performance.

In games, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D outperforms the Intel Core i9-13900K at 1080p resolution and maximum or ultra graphics quality settings. In some cases, the advantage exceeds 15%. In some games, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D outperforms even the older model 7950X3D.
In addition, the performance of AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D was compared with Intel Core i9-13900KS in an extended list of games at the same 1080p resolution. The Core i9-13900KS is the best solution in Intel’s gaming lineup at the moment, with a large number of cores, a higher frequency and a higher price. At the same time, in 10 out of 16 games, the advantage was on the side of Ryzen 7 7800X3D. In those cases where the Intel processor became the leader, the advantage was less than 3%. The exception is CS: GO, where the Intel 13900KS manages to outperform the 7800X3D by almost 8%.
But in work applications, the new AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is no longer so good. Both AMD X3D chips lose to Intel in the PugetBench Photoshop, Geekbench 5 and Cinebench R23 tests. In performance applications, the 7800X3D trails the 7950X3D and the Intel Core i9-13900K.
Energy consumption and heating
At the same time, AMD 7800X3D is characterized by high energy efficiency. In Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution and maximum ray tracing settings, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D consumes 67W of power, while the Intel 13900KS requires 275W. When running Cinebench, the 13900KS achieved a power consumption of 329W, compared to 86W for the 7800X3D.
It is also noted that the new AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D reached a temperature of 84 degrees Celsius when running Cinebench, while the Intel Core i9-13900KS reached 101 degrees.
Conclusions
Overall, The Verge reviewers attributed the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D’s impressive gaming performance, low power consumption, and relatively affordable price to the advantages of the processor. However, the device is inferior to Intel chips in terms of performance in work applications. There are also occasional issues with boot times on some AM5 motherboards.
