AMD seen how the user’s own review guide has been leaked AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D that supplies the media (via HD Technology). This guide offers performance tests already carried out by the brand so that the media take it into account when verifying that the tests they have carried out do not have any anomalies. This implies having quite important information, such as the first real performance comparison of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
Specifically, we are talking regarding a comparison of games, at 1080p resolution, with the Intel Core i9-13900K. Both processors used a graphics card AMD Radeon RX 79000 XTX for the comparison. Of course, the test also takes some titles by hand, and that is that the tests use many old games. Some of them are Shadow of War (2017) or Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018). On the other hand, there is F1 21 when F1 22 is almost being discontinued, which is why it will be available on Xbox Game Pass.
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D vs Intel Core i9-13900K en gaming
Let’s go to what interests us, other things being equal, with 32 GB of RAM DDR5 a 6.000 MHz (2x 16 GB), we might translate it all into that, at 1080p resolutionthe AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is, on average, 5.6% faster than the Intel Core i9-13900K. This average comes from the test of 22 games. When we look at the data, now it makes sense that F1 21 is there, since it is one of the games that breaks the average the most with +21.4% difference regarding the CPU.
Obviously, here you can be suspicious that it is a game taken by hand, or that for some reason, the extra cache it is used more in this game, and therefore, the difference in performance is higher.
With a GeForce RTX 4090, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is 6% faster
In the second round of leaked benchmarks, NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line graphics card was used. With this change, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D promises to be 6% faster than Core i9-13900Kand just a 16% faster than AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (not X3D). In the case of its “predecessor”, the performance difference may be too low for the price difference that will exist between the two CPUs.
If we go to the synthetic tests, wins 3 out of 7 tests once morest the Intel Core i9-13900K. It gains noticeably in file compression speed with 7 zip, in DolpinBench and Kraken Benchmark v1.1 Edge Chromium.
Is AMD’s new top-of-the-range CPU worth it?
For now it is a difficult question with the first round of data, but if we talk gaming use onlyhe AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D will go on sale at a price of $699 vs one Intel Core i9-13900K that is already around the $580. In essence, we talk an extra cost of 120 dollars (+20%) to get up to 6% extra yield. To this is added that the motherboards are also slightly more expensive.
On the other hand, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X It is on sale for $434. We are talking regarding what the Ryzen 9 7950X costs 61% more offering an improvement in performance, on average, of up to 16%. The numbers don’t come out. It is evident that if you only think regarding gaming, the best possible option is the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but it will not arrive until April. Now we know the reason, and it is that it would cannibalize the sale of all the company’s CPUs in the gaming spectrum.
