9600X + 9700X vs 7800X3D - What's Best For Gaming?

[@poorNOOB]

What's best for gaming? Short answer: 7800x3d Long answer: AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D 😂

[@AndrewTSq]

Even the 5800x3d is better than these if you are still on AM4. Felt a bit lackluster this release.

[@henson2k]

how much better than i7-12700K for $200?

[@theminec]

​@@henson2k seems to be competitive in pricing (at least the F variant) with the 5700X3D on aliexpress for about $180-220 with tax. If the non-F part could be found anywhere in my region at that price it would be a great deal, especially with the fact the non-F part has QSV. For gaming, I would go with the 5700X3D though, being nearly $40 cheaper than the 12700KF, and near half the price of the non K part (pricing in the UK is kinda cursed). The 5800X3D seems a bit too expensive at least new for now, but then so is the 12700K :/

👍 So far this morning I've watched around a dozen reviews of the new AMD processors. This one is definitely the *best* of the bunch! 😁

[@estheticdesigns]

9600X with those temps/draw available under $200 from AliExpress, seems a no brainer for my next SFF Fractal Ridge build . Straight up solid AM5 platform entry point until CPU's that scale better at 1440p/4K later down the road come out. Only 40% the current COST of a 7800x3d for same ballpark 4K performance for SP games, that $200 is difference better spent of the GPU budget . I have not gamed at 1080p since the GTX card days, so 1440p/4K esports/4K story games remains the goal .

The 9700x and 9600x have a completely different character as in Low wattage and would suit ITX builds on an air cooler or small AIO, They do pack a punch at stock and are modestly priced especially after the recent discounts and it will be interesting going forward on how far these chips can be pushed for daily use. IMO these chips are very good for a quiet, cool, small factor system or a top spec middle tier build delivering around 90% or so of what a 7800X3D delivers at only 65/88 watts it's a madness really.

[@aykyi2668]

The additional L3 Cache makes the difference. Its not about pure L3 Cache MB, its about the number of Caches. Usually one L3 Cache exist/ is used. With the additional 3D Cache, the number of Cache access doubles. Now a L3 Cache + 3D Cache is accessed. Its like a L3 Cache Dual Channel. Doubles bandwith and number of accesses. Because i was wondering... why is the performance increasing only at lower resolution - which uses less bandwith but is arround same at higher resolution. Because at lower resolution, the number of L3 Cache accesses increase while at high resolution the L3 Cache bandwith usage increase and capacity in mb.

If AMD makes TWO 3D Caches + L3 Cache... thats Triple Channel Cache... Extreme. I would buy that CPU. 32mb + 32mb + 32mb as example.

The flight simluator test is really appreciated because back when the 5800x3d came out Every techtuber trashed on it and it was the second coming of Jesus for DCS / Flight Simulator + Un optimized game like Postscriptum Squad 44 / Squad The difference btw 90 and 72hz is the goat in VR. You can run 72hz / 80hz native It's so good that the only thing I want now is x3D processor, I am still waiting on my 5999x3D as the last AM4 King. 16 coresx3D all of them with 128mb of l3 cache

[@giovannislasagna]

Just wait for the X3D variants in September. Literally a month away lol

[@TheKorejen]

is that confirmed? I wanna get rid of my i5 10600k asap lmao so deciding between getting the 7800x3d now or waiting a bit to see how well the 9800x3d will perform

[@ngochuybk]

no, they delay the X3D to 1/2025. Asus leaked this information on their website 2 days ago

4:01 Why is 7700X scoring higher than 9700X in Cinebench R23?

[@saricubra2867]

Higher power limit.

[@jaxzor]

what's the power draw for 9700x and 9600x while gaming?

[@celtshaun1427]

65w normally but 88w PBO.

[@NateJ]

I was unexpectedly gifted a 7900X. It's still sitting new in box though because I need to save to build the rest of the PC around it. Curious if I should make use of it, or get a 7800X3D or possibly get a 9000 series...

[@Bootchair]

Well 9000 x3d chips are around the corner. If it’s a minuscule gain between 7800x3d and 9800x3d (assuming the trend stays the same) you might as well opt for a 7800x3d. They will be discounted as well. I got my 7800x3d for like 27% off a few months ago.

[@tilapiadave3234]

Sell it

[@turboimport95]

why are you not showing power draw for the other cpus?

[@GT1GT]

Hey Paul, thx for testing MSFS.

[@mbvx7]

AMD said these should have been tested with DDR5 6000 and will still keep a 1:1 ratio I honestly wouldn't even watch reviews that didn't use DDR5 6000. Paul used the correct RAM.

[@BeeWhere]

My 7600x conti yes to get the job done. I probably need to upgrade my monitors first before my CPU.
