Ideally, software should simply be able to dynamically tell the OS through the multi-threading API whether the thread requires single-threaded performance, large cache, low power, data and co-concurrency proximity requirements with other threads, etc. and be scheduled on the most appropriate available cores instead of some arbitrary external software forcing things. Also, outright parking cores seems a bit excessive when you can simply set processor affinity to steer a task to specific CPUs.

[@q1337]

not all programs use default settings and can force it by some proprietary algorithm . I see why they went for the make it unavailable approach since this is a more sure way to guarantee it.

[@serena-yu]

Then every software will try to tell it's thirsty for performance to ensure itself runs at the best performance. The other apps? None of "my" business.

this will never happen. Windows cant even use P and E cores properly

[@teardowndan5364]

@@serena-yu That doesn't make any sense: Microsoft and Linux multi-threading APIs already allow threads to set their own priority levels, so nothing is stopping them from requesting the highest priority today if they wanted to yet practically all software either lets the OS decide or actually lowers priority on background threads. Setting everything to highest priority when it doesn't actually need it would just piss people off by causing unnecessary performance issues with other software.

Processor affinity affects performance and breaks a bunch of scheduling features. Actually try it, it's not good for some reason.

the more exciting point of the 7950x3d is the efficiency. it maxes out at 150 watts 100% load CB R23 and its 75 degree cool. on gaming its ultra efficient on average 83 watts with a temp of 52-55 degree (360 AIO). Its so good that it can be cooled easily with an aircooler.

[@Buddy308]

You're right. My RT 5800X3D is running on the same Noctua air cooler I used for the 3600 and the 5800 that preceded it, and it's running at the temperatures I saw with those earlier CPUS.

@@DeKosta I specifically assigned each part of my system to specific games/apps and now the whole thing runs without problem OCd. I dont know if this "measurement" matters to anyone but it was the easiest test to run repeatedly without going through a bunch of benchmarking software, the Benchmark in R6 is good for testing these chips, without optimization Unity games stutter on the x3Ds and R6 is a great example of that, so i made it my testing ground. I didnt use the game bar/game mode method and managed to get the cores parked properly when im playing whatever or doing whatever (streaming/gaming/videocalls/4browser tabs minimum at the same time is my normal use case). Anything that isnt a game is given the least priorities. My R6 went from 330-355fps to 473 and the BIGGEST PART is the stutters are completely gone, and thats all i wanted anyways... again, i dont use game bar/game mode, and managed to make this chip behave. so i agree with you on the "not necessary at all" but i do have to admit, if someone just did the steps in the video theyd be at the same place i am, but also against that very point theyd have worse latency than my setup so i guess its only worth it if you know youre the kind of person to make use of that extra timing during Realtime scenarios, otherwise yeah, youre right, just plug and play and stfu xD

thx for the summary. really important right now is to install the driver after you installed the new X3D on the motherboard or else the driver does not set up the cache performance optimizer correctly. this might be overlooked by people having still the old CPU in the motherboard for the BIOS update then already installing the new driver with the old CPU inside.

[@johnnygreene4658]

As a techie I think this is terrible. The average user will not get this. This chip will only be good for advanced user's. AMD seems to have made some poor design decisions this generation. I'm a big AMD guy but this has to be done better with the 8000 series or AMD will be in trouble. I have no interest in upgrading from the 5000 series. These massive temperatures are ridiculous. I know they say 95C is a safe operating temperatures but come on. Intel and AMD need to make things better heat and efficiency wise. Not everyone is okay with watercooling. Especially in a professional environment with workstations.

[@kacperrutkowski6350]

Efficiency won't get much better untill RISC-V will became next mainstream architecture. Power usage may go down to ~½ of current value, but probably it won't get much better than that for x86. Sadly due to enormous number of instructions this architecture does not have potencial for even acceptable efficiency in terms of temperature and power consumption :/

I stopped at the "make things better heat and efficiency wise". They did! What you don't understand is that it's pushed by default to what they think it's safe levels. If you want safer levels, just run ECO mode, what's so damn difficult ? It performs exceptionally well in performance/watt in that mode. And if you want something in between, you can tune it yourself, it's not that hard. Jeez!

Massive temps are pretty much eliminated when you run the chips in eco mode and they suffer very little in the way of performance from pretty much every reviewer I've seen have said the same thing. Eco mode on = not a toaster

It would also have the advantage that there's significantly less heat output from the IO-die compared to a CCD, both CCDs would not be thermally constrained by the cache die and both CCDs would benefit the same way from a L4 cache on the IO-die.

Sorry dude…….but you are also wrong. I have taken all of these steps and Core parking still doesn’t work on certain motherboards without additional steps. The 7800x3d is the fastest gaming cpu because it is made up of only 1 CCD. AMD’s core parking on 2 CCD chips only works on some motherboards and not on others. On my Asus Prime Z670 it doesn’t work at all, and uses the higher clocked cores rather than the 3d vcache cores. The only way to get it to work properly is to find “CPPC” in bios and change it to “cache”. The other options are 1) Auto 2) Frequency 3) Driver and 4) Cache. I have tried all of them and used Ryzen master to track core usage in a gaming scenario. Only “cache” used the correct CCD. All of the other options used the higher clocked cores. Jay’s Two Cents did a video on this where, on his board, “driver” worked. AMD needs to fix this on dual CCD 3D Vcache CPU’s. Otherwise, it’s just worthless having 3d vcache on only 1 CCD unless it’s a single CCD CPU. FIX CORE PARKING AMD!! IT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AT ALL!!!!

I just want to open a program and think about it, not about if my PC is running optimally. If they solve the software and maybe use windows affinity to target the cache cores to games instead of disabling half the CPU, then I would consider it.

The 3D v-cache on both allegedly saw little to no benefit and would have resulted in a likely far slower chip so they took the best of both worlds. If they figure out how to make it more viable for both to have the 3D v-cache for ryzen 8000 and it be better than just 1, then they'd change it. As for now, its still relatively in its infancy with only one processor before these three having any 3D V-cache at all so, figuring out how to raise the clock speeds whilst still having the cache on both chiplets so it's overall not going to suffer in applications that require higher clock speeds is likely on their radar. As for now, this is really their first actual trial of the tech with multiple versions of their CPUs, not just the 7. So it's reasonable to expect some form of teething pain when implementing it into a different cpu entirely. It will probably help them in the long run as they can further develop the tech to be more efficient and to the point they'll be able to have all dies with full 3D v-cache.

Did you ever solve this? I’m having the same issue, cores not parking and games like Csgo are getting 200-300 fps with the 7950x3d

[@DuneGames]

@@Holy_stromboli Process Lasso is an app that makes working with the 7950X3D a breeze. Unfortunately, I don't remember the videos I watched to help with it, but there's good info out there for those that have the 3D variants of chips using Process Lasso.

[@tamaslichtenberger8529]

i'm just trying to find a solution what could be even complicated than this :D

[@TheDigitalGuerrilla]

What a mess for regular consumers

[@lolilol.]

no regular consumer will by a 7000x3d bro

[@chemaalonso7931]

​@@lolilol. Thats so fucking true

[@gmee123]

This whole mess quite frankly is a huge turn off.

[@TrayanT]

can't wait for 7800 to make a new pc after 8 years :D

[@boastyy]

Me too mate!

[@DrTopLiftDPT]

do these bios options exist for MSI motherboards?

[@TheBlueBunnyKen]

Now a days it's all about the money and not about the consumer. They make stuff anti-consumer now a days

[@oelergodt]

man it just does not park my cores whatever I do... That basically means it doesn't work as intended, right?

[@richardsalazar4817]

This seems very niche, maybe??? For people thatll do more then just gaming. If your gaming, and streaming, will the cpu use the 3d side for that, and then use the non 3d side for streaming and other tasks? Is this a bigx3d dot big approach? Either way for tech enthusiasts, this is a win, and another cool Innovation to play around with and see what people can accomplish.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

yes these high ends are for work basically, for games grab smth like 13600k or 5700x and just oc to the limit

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

That game Bar may help slightly with the 5900X and 5950X, also 7900X and 7950X chips like you can make sure Game bar is using the faster CCX. If you have one of these parts and look in (Hardware Info) a free tool, you will see that you have 2 separate CCX's and one of them usually hit's higher clocks slightly over the other.. In other words you can at least make sure you are gaming on the Binned CCX over the slower CCX, It may make a 2% difference and probably isn't worth doing.. But anyway I'm still on AM4 and Very happy..

[@DinoFancellu]

Just follow this simple 20 step process...

[@cybyr_]

Hi there, great video but I have a question you may be able to help out with. When I go to the Resource Monitor I only see CPU 0-15, is there any advice you can give me? Thanks in advance!

[@hypewilkens]

Sheesh, looks like a have lot of work cut out for me.. Building a new machine with the 7900x3d this week

[@hypewilkens]

Ok I finally came to this part and I must say you are the only KZbinr that came though clutch with this, subbed.

[@Buddy308]

Wow! Great video and no click bait! We didn't have to go through any such rigmarole when upgrading to a 5800X3D. So what I'm wondering is what will be necessary for the 8-core 7800X3D? Will it take all these new drivers, new BIOS, and all this tweaking? Or will it simply be a matter of dropping in a new CPU and booting up?

[@profion85]

No with 7800x3d you're ready to play without any configuration.

[@maxsmith111]

Is there a link from AMD about setting these up yet?

[@Mtsung3]

Maybe they allowed a chip to be released with such complicated setup requirement because they realize this is a super niche chip servicing the rare individuals who need computing performance and gaming performance out of the same cpu? Most people needing either/or will simply purchase the 7950x or the 7800x3d?

[@deathsaidhello]

as a streamer i love this chip. reduced load on the gpu by setting the encoder to the amd radeon graphics on the chip, my 2nd monitor uses the radeon graphics from the cpu, and i set the priority of anything else running under all my games to be Low while keeping the games i play at RealTime which tells windows where to put the cpus power where i choose when i play/stream and this keeps the full chip in workmode, the gaming cores are used only for the game and the rest of the cores are still active being used for other applications on my 2nd monitor and because the non x3D cores are still active when the other apps dont need their attention the cores directly assist with the gaming load, too. It feels good to see the whole system working together

[@PcKolog]

Thank you for this beautifully detailed content. The question on my mind is this. While playing games (1080P / 1440P), I want to stream over the GPU (RTX 4080 )and record video on the CPU at the same time. According to this scenario, should I buy 7950X or 7950X3D?

[@limitlesswave]

7950x if your main useage is for productivity (video editing etc), but if you want high-end gaming as well, the 7950x3D.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

why though, nvenc will do record/stream very efficiently, 3d version always better

[@PcKolog]

@@iikatinggangsengii2471 While I'm already doing the live broadcast via Nvech, I also want to receive the Video recording over the CPU. Will the 79503D CCD 3D work correctly in this scenario?

[@MelloPlayer947]

I could not find game mode on windows 10. I don't have the 7950x3d obviously, but I was just curious?

[@DmitiryPopyoutopov]

Wait, so why didn't slap the 3d cache on the other side? Because they would have to lower the speeds of the card too much?

[@Enjun38]

Outstanding video

[@Megumin_VRC]

My 7800X3D dont park any cores - is that normal?

[@shawnbrown2843]

But you don't address the problem of having the CPU and Board but you can't update your BIOS because you have to have an updated BIOS to run the update...

[@kineticconsular2689]

Does it matter what power plan we use in windows ? Im sure I heard somewhere before we should used balanced for it to work correctly ?

[@charliebrydges]

This is mad you have to do this. Will I have to do this with a 7700x ? I’m new to pc gaming and going to buy the parts soon

[@Boemtie]

Do you have to do these things for the 5800x3d also?

[@bmanrockwell2174]

no

[@Djuntas]

Cant imagine that at all. Only bios and driver updates. But thats same with 5800X3D when it was new.

[@Boemtie]

@@Djuntas So do you or do you not have to with the 5800x3d? can you just run it out of the box or do you have to change bios settings etc?

[@Djuntas]

@@Boemtie 5800X3D im pretty sure required bios and chipset drivers for all motherboards when it launched. But maybe some brands didnt. I think the CPU can boot just fine, but wont work good until updated.

[@Boemtie]

@@Djuntas You off course i know that but again that is not my question. what i want to know is if you need to undervolt it or overclock it in order to get these good results.

[@_nom_]

I guess I'll be waiting for another gen. I'm not paying $2300nzd for a cpu, mobo and ram for 2 extra cores.

[@pmgrodrigues]

I have a 7800x3d. Do i need to re-install windows, or is it enough just following these steps?

[@TheHope12322]

Should have done dual ccx v cache…

[@Drag0zard]

What if we have gamebar turned off because it interferes with steam?

[@carlmorgan3892]

so are we okay with just using the normal versions of the chips or are the X3D chips a must have?

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

they all fast, fastest
