7950X3D vs 7800X3D - Is AMD's 16 Core a SCAM?

After taking a look at two separate channels, I decided to run some tests with an Ryzen 9 7950X3D with half its cores cut (so basically a Ryzen 7 7800X3D Simulated), and then decided to run some background applications on the spare cores whilst running games, to see if you are getting a Ryzen 7 7800X3D that can turn into a Ryzen 9 7950X, or if you are getting what AMD says you are getting.

I’m glad you called out frame chasers. I can’t stand the guy. He’s an elitist and a jerk. He charges 500$ for just a consult for a tune for warzone. If you watch his live streams he’s toxic af. His discords even more toxic. Hes had tons of people complain about him and he just blocks them. He’s quite rude to people who question anything he says, he says he doesn’t watch any other content creators stuff and doesn’t listen to anyone’s testing. He thinks He is a god and thinks All his oc nunbers are the best. He won’t tell anyone his voltage and tries to claim everyone’s after his secrets and they’re stealing his secrets. He’s got some big conspiracy theory that everyone’s out to steal his lucky charms.

One thing to keep in mind is the PPT limit of the cpu if you're heavily taxing the non vcache portion of the cpu, your vcached core clocks are likely going to suffer to stay within that limit.

Brian, I don't know if the footage in the video is direct from benchmark captures but when setting the core affinity to Corona Benchmark, I think you set it to 13 cores (19 to 31) instead of 12.

If your main focus is to primarily play games, than for sure you should wait for the 7800XD3. And even if you want to get the 7950X3D you should wait until the 7800X3D comes out because they will soon start to heavily reduce the price of the 7950X3D because its sales will get even worse once the 7800X3D comes out.

Thanks for your take on this. I was stoked about the CPU until the details came out. I'm happy with my 5900x but I was able to snag an RTX 4090 and I am going to want to upgrade my cpu again in a few years. I hope there are some ways newer processors will be able to report certain things to the operating system about their topology and how to handle thread scheduling more transparently though today that isn't the case. Applications will also need to catch up so it's like the chicken and the egg. We know the chiplets and "tiles" are coming for specific tasks and acceleration but today you can have a very powerful CPU and an OS that isn't really able to fully leverage it because of lack of awareness which isn't ideal.

[@HeloisGevit]

I too have a 5900x and 4090. Assuming you play at 4K like me, there really isn't a CPU worth upgrading for at the moment, these 3D chips included. That will change with the 5090 and next generation CPUs however.

In what way, the listed 7950x3d higher clock boost is only on the second CCD that doesn't have the extra 64 MB of cache (disabling it turns the 7950x3D into a 78000x3d) Installing the AMD chipset driver and making sure Xbox game bar is enabled it core parks the second CCD on the 7900x3d/50 (as long as Xbox game bar detects the running game)

[@ZackSNetwork]

The CCD in zen 4 is 8 cores each so that would not happen at all.

[@cdiff07]

The 3900X 5900X, and finally 7900x are 6 core CCD's. No surprise it has ALWAYS been that way! If you bought one thinking it was not than that is the consumers fault for spending money and not understanding what it is they are buying!

[@winnb4968]

7950X3D = 8 core CCD0(X3D) & 8 core CCD1(non X3D) 7900X3D = 8 core CCD0(X3D) & 4 core CCD1(non X3D) 7800X3D = 8 core CCD0(X3D) 7950X3D = 8MB cache per core. 7900X3D = 10MB cache per core. 7800X3D = 12MB cache per core. KZbinrs who have disabled CCD1 from 7950X3D doesn't have accurate 7800X3D benchmarks. For example: 7950X3D CCD0 (50W) - CCD1(50W) - iGPU (20W) = 120W total. If they disable CCD1 (non X3D) it will only run 70W (CCD0 at 50W) and iGPU(20W). CCD0 won't get anymore then 50W that voltage/power is limited/locked it's for all CCD's. 7800X3D will have additional 50W more power available and this with 12MB cache per core. Will increase even more fps and higher jump in gaming performance then 7900X3D which has 2MB more cache. But can't deliver that additional power to CCD0 as it's lock due to dual CCD's limit which is 50W, except the 7800X3D. This is why it doesn't need higher clocks it has more cache per core and double the power draw of dual CCD on a single CCD. My analysis and expectation of 7800X3D is going to aim for gaming performance better then 13900KS that's right KS! 7900X3D/7950X3D will get updates overtime and get slowly better performance but the 7800X3D will BLAST OUT 7950X3D/KS.

[@Kizzster]

They'll all perform similarly. Nothing special about X3D this time at all. Incredibly disappointing launch and results. Not even 4K numbers change where as 5800X3D did over 5800X. These CPU were just made for competition with Intel or to beat them ever so slightly.

Great video, when thinking about dual CCD's and 3D V-Cache dilemma, I believe AMD took this path because they had too many regular Zen4 dies sitting in limbo.

@@MrExdous69 I went for the 7800X3D because it uses a single core complex, that leads to faster cache-to-cache transfers than the 7900X3D.

Also at the time the 7900X3D/7950X3D was very picky about what memory it worked best with, i assume this has changed with a wider range and updated designs since i built mine, but again something i would check.

The non-V-Cache CCD will boost higher but I never catch any core boosting all the way to the advertised 5.7GHz.

I don’t know if I’d call it a scam but like you said janky sounds more like it. In my opinion Gordon actually proved more so that it’s a “scam” when he tried to say it wasn’t. When he ran Cinebench on 4 threads while gaming it ran on the 3D CCD. Shouldn’t it have assigned that to the non 3D CCD, for better Cinebench score with the faster CCD and only had game on the 3D CCD for best gaming performance.

I didn't feel like waiting two extra weeks AND spending at least 100 to 150€ more for the 3D so I went for the regular 7950X - that money went to an AIO cooler. I'd be fine with messing with core affinity but the fact that programs can just reset it on their own AND all the software "requirements" to even have it work properly are just too much. Maybe the 9950X3D will have dual 3D cache - AM5 will probably make more sense then.

[@gatsusagara6637]

Interesting analysis. Thanks for your hard work. Personally, I think this CPU is basically a slightly nerfed 16 core 7950x and a slightly nerfed 7800X3D. AMD promised a best of both worlds, but what we get is a slightly nerfed best of both worlds. I think I'll stick to the 7800X3D if possible, but for people that can harness the power of a 16core chip, I guess it's a great compromise. I don't think AMD is out to milk people for their money, if I were AMD I wouldn't launch th e7800X3D first either because if I launch it first and send the cpus by air, then I would end up increasing the base price of the cpu to cover the shipping expenses. It makes a load more sense to send the highest margin parts via AIR and launch them first to target the niche market. If you're getting a 7950X3D, you'd better be making money with it.

[@timcotton578]

I completly get what you are saying and for the most part I agree with you but splitting the CPU into just 8 gaming cores and 8 "work" cores is not what they did here. Yes 8 cores are meant for gaming and only gaming, but the other 8 cores are meant to work with the gaming core to provide you with the 16 cores when "working" If you only used the extra 8 you would get less proformance for "working" this chip is meant for someone who wants the best of both worlds. Perfect gaming and the ability to have 16 cores for a work load. It should have been labeled better as such instead of just the worlds best gaming but the 7800x3d will not be able to preform "work" tasks as well as the 7950x3d.

[@gozutheDJ]

yeah but u should just get a 13900k in that case

[@stevenbitecofer6831]

I have seen a couple sites do the "simulated 7800x3D" comparison by shutting off the 8 cores that do not access the V cache. They always show that, in games, the simulated chip holds its own or beats the 7950x3D. However, I wonder if the simulated chip is being underclocked like the 7800x3D will be in comparison with the 7950x3D when these benchmarks are run? After all, the 7950x3d cores boost to 5.7GHZ whereas the 7800x3D only boost to 5.0GHZ. I know the cores for this series of x3d chips are unlocked but we do not know whether the 7800x3D will be able to boost to 5.7 so, IMO, we also do not know whether the simulated chip is a valid comparison. Enlighten me. To be clear, I have been recommending that the gamers in my family wait for the 7800x3D because I feel that it will be a much better "bang for the buck" even if it falls slightly behind the 13900K and the 7950x3D in gaming.

[@Peter.H.A.Petersen]

The 5.7GHz is only reached when it's running a few cores, probably fewer than the non X3D because of the lower TDP. This is from the Steven Walton (Techspot/Hardware Unboxed) "The V-Cache enabled CCD1 typically clocks at between 4750 and 4800 MHz, whereas CCD2, with the regular 32MB L3 cache, clocked its cores at 4900 MHz." It's plausible that the 7800x3D, that has the same 120W TDP, will run at the same ~ 4750MHz under load.

[@PostWin]

The reason the 7950x3d says it boost 5.7ghz is because the one without the vcache can boost that high. The one with the vcache boost a lot lower, similar to what the 7800x3d boost to.

[@PidroBondar]

That early adopters of the hybrid CPU that is the 7950X3D have to do a bit of extra work to get them to run properly has nothing to do with the question as to whether they're a scam or not. They're not. Frame Chasers clearly doesn't understand how core parking works and he's flat out wrong when he says that only one chiplet works when you're gaming. Gordon's not the only one to have proven him wrong, Level1Tech did a really good explanation not only of how it works but why the approach AMD and Microsoft have taken is the only sensible option.

I’m using 5800x3d currently. My pc is build for triple 4K 12288x2160 Sim Racing and some flight sim title only. Looks like it make no sense to upgrade to 7950x3d. Maybe 7800x3d will be a better option? I wonder how KZbinrs simulated 7800x3d performance versus other CPUs.

[@Solrac-Siul]

There is very few scenarios where, given how games work today and in the next pair of years, you would really need to upgrade that cpu. You can most likely skip the entire current amd cpu generation and platform, and in 2.5 to 3 years get the new one. There are improvements in going from the 5800x3d to the 7800x3d but in many cases you will not feel them unless you have frame counters "in your face". you will probably also not feel outmuscled by intel offerings unless they come out with a refresh of the 13th gen with extra clock speeds and capable of making use of ddr5 7600+ , as in theory intel is not bound by the x3d cache speed, and may be able to scale better with higher speed ddr 5 but even if that happens the price of such ddr5 will make one think twice.

[@seansprint600]

@@Solrac-Siul very true mate. I’m doing research all over KZbin to seek advices. I’m also worry what if the 7800x3d or other 3d technology doesn’t provide any benefits or slightly better from what I had currently. It will be waste of money. There is limited resources on internet for me to look at, especially sim racing or flight sim title for current x3d hype pair with 4090. Many KZbinrs using 7950x3d and 7900x3d doing a benchmark with 4090 at 1080p. Not much on 4K. I wonder who on earth will buy an expensive x3d or 13900k cpu + 4090 gpu and run 1080p? I’m quite speechless on these benchmarks 🤷‍♂️

[@Solrac-Siul]

@@seansprint600I would not say a waste of money but rather that the given the cost involved (cpu, motherboard, ram ) you will be spending at least some 800 dollars to get a 15 to 25% fps increase at 4k in some/most games. So assuming you are reaching 75 fps on X game, those 800 bucks means you will be hitting around 100 fps. A decent increase but far from "game changing". is 25 or so fps worth 800 bucks - only you know that.

[@zodwraith5745]

My concern with the 7800x3d is that it looks like AMD is purposely hamstringing it's clock speed which reeks of a scam to make sure it doesn't get the same performance of the 7950x3d in gaming. Not to mention it's probably going to fall on it's face if you try streaming while playing. The 7950x3d is for those rare people who's favorite game is the bios screen.

[@Tigerhearty]

the benchmark of the 7800X 3D recently released from amd themselves shows that on the worst case scenario the 7800X3D is at 124% speed down from 127% for the 7950X 3D. Clearly the 7800X 3D is the better choice, other games around 120 % are withing margin of error they perform the same. for 250$ less

[@zodwraith5745]

@@Tigerhearty Oh I fully expect it to make the 7950x3d to look stupid, but it's still kinda shady to limit it's clocks when it's the exact same CCD, especially at $450.

It would be the budget gaming king even more than it already is.

[@Tigerhearty]

​@@zodwraith5745 They could have made the 7800X3D 5.7ghz and it would have just crushed the 7950X for being able to sustain single core speed to very close to 5.6 / 5.7 when the 7950X3D with it's poor ccd x2 delay is having trouble keeping at 5.2 ghz under gaming even with half the ccd and cores disabled for sure but it wouldn't have made financial sense as the newer iterations of the cpu would have looked "bad" in performance comparison to the 7800X 3D and barely anyone would feel any need to upgrade. Those are all long planned in advance progression margin, not "customer friendly" decisions anymore. it is obvious they can clock a lower count, less intensive heat dissipation cpu higher then a more gigantic 2 times the size and 1.3X the 3D stacks on higher skus, they are becoming as bad as intel when they have the means to do much better then that and easily

[@zodwraith5745]

@@Tigerhearty I'd argue they've easily been as bad as Intel for years, if not worse. What happened to Threadripper pricing the second AMD had no competition? For a decade that Intel dominated AMD we didn't see ever increasing prices and $6000 HEDT chips. I paid the same for an i7 960 as a 4790k, 7700k, 8700k and 10700k. With inflation that's a price _reduction._ Only recently has the i7 crept over $400 while the AMD equivalent launched at freaking $550 on an even more expensive platform. Nah, AMD is worse than Intel these days. AMD prices used to keep Intel honest, now days Intel prices keep AMD honest.

I don't think this is a true simulation a 7800X3D. Point to make is that the boost clock for 7800X3D is less than the boost clock for the 7950X3D on the 3D v-cache CCD. In addition, the 7800X3D has 96MB of L3 cache and 7950X3D has 128MB. Also, L2 cache sizes are different. The only way to tell how they compare is to have a real 7800X3D to test.

[@haukikannel]

When you togle off the other cpu ship, you only use 96mb of cache… So this is quite accurate. In 7950x3d the v-cache ship is slow aka as slow as 7800x3d is suposed to be. And the non v-cache chip is the fast one. So simulation should be quite accurate. What we don´t know is how they bin the v-cache chips to 7950x3d vs 7800x3d. If they use better chips in 7950x3d it may be that the simulated results are better than what 7800x3d will deliver. We have to wait one month to see that.

[@isakh8565]

The extra cache and clockspeed comes from the non-3d chip, the one you don't want games to run on, so the simulated numbers should be quite accurate.
