RageQuitters Christmas Real Rig Upgrade! - R7 9800X3D vs i5 13600K Benchmarks!

[@captaindagonsworldoffunstuff]

Great job Paul 👏👍

[@terminatoruk4921]

Cheers sir! Took some time to make but very happy with the result 😊

R7 9800X3D is an absolute beast. Can't wait to see how far I can push it when the 5000 series releases.

[@RQUKOfficial]

Yep, the beast of all CPUs definitely deserves the beast of all GPUs. Just hope said GPU doesn't cost a vital organ!

[@terminatoruk4921]

Haha it will do - well over $2000 I suspect. Will be interesting to see how far a 5090 pairs with this would be. If anyone fancies donating one for us to benchmark, I'm all ears 😂

[@RQUKOfficial]

LOVE the intro, as usual. Great job mate, I know how much work went into this. Fantastic stuff.

@@RQUKOfficial hehe thought it'd make ya'll chuckle ;-) Merry Christmas chaps :-)

Funny how it turned out that there was nothing wrong with Zen 5 so much as it was that Zen 5 chiplets are bottlenecked by the O/I die used in consumer (Ryzen) variants of Zen 5... with the X3D cache clearly alleviating this problem, allowing the 9800X3D to significantly outperform the 9700X even in a wide range of non-gaming applications where additional L3 cache didn't make a difference with Zen 4 Ryzen CPUs. Workstation variants of Zen 5 which use a faster I/O die also don't have the performance issues that the non X3D desktop variants have.

@@syncmonism Yup absolutely spot on - if you compared it with the Epyc severs CPUs of this generation, they were seeing substantially improved results generation on generation but that of largely due to the different memory controller they use. Saying this, the 9800x3d was a pleasant surprised for the 9000 series for sure.
