Ryzen 7 9800x3D vs Core Ultra 7 265k: Which is best for you?

[@durbanchow]

Its good to see reviews such as this as you are giving context to the market and the benefits of what will work for you. I already ordered the 9800x3d and abit concerned because i had an AMD system in the early 2000s that constantly overheated. But i see that no one has that issue. All companies go through mess ups and intel will get through this but their shares are going to tank. That being said i feel that they are heading in the right direction. I dont know if i would go.back to them if AMD will be serving me well.. especially with using the same chipsets generation after generation

[@chrisharris1522]

Thanks for the honest review, some of your larger competitors neglected to mention that performance at launch is rarely how new products end up performing. I really don't see how turning this into some kind of competition helps consumers and if Intel take their advice and drop out of the gaming/ home pc market completely that would be a bad outcome for everyone

[@robeytech]

Intel isn’t leaving gaming. Core Ultra was their Zen 1. It will just take time.

[@nathanielchapman7675]

​@@robeytechzen 1 was more than just being a successful technology but was also cost effective. These new Intel CPUs are not cost effective and they are on a more cutting-edge node than AMD. This is not a "Zen 1 moment" for Intel.

[@robeytech]

@ actually Zen 1 wasn’t that exciting and it didn’t do particularly well. This is a pretty big architectural change, it’s not entirely apples to apples but it still is a fair comparison. However you are right, time will tell though.

[@RobBCactive]

​@@robeytechthat is utterly untrue, see Meteor Lake was tile based but had poor performance outside of a narrow range failing to match 13th gen so desktop Core Ultra was cancelled it released late to laptop. Intel have released before other tile based CPUs like Sapphire Rapids and another line Emerald Rapids which reduced tile count, nevermind Ponte Vecchio. This idea that Arrow Lake is some totally new arch is nonsense, the P+E core are from ADL, the P core are a development of the Cove core line used in Granite Rapids & Lunar Lake, while the E-cores have been improved. But it is widely recognised now that developing 2 core arch was a mistake, Qualcomm and others are going with Big cores only on ARM and AMD cover the market better with Turin, TurinX and Turin dense with one ISA tuned to different customer needs. Intel's future chips are dropping P+E which was a hack to boost core counts on 10nm desktop using area efficient Atom cores.

[@RobBCactive]

​@@nathanielchapman7675Zen1 was also actually a new architecture while Intel tiles have been in Meteor Lake and Sapphire Rapids so Arrow Lake is the follow up.

Some points: -I don't know of any microcode update for the Core Ultra series as of now. Not saying you're wrong just can't find it anywhere on the web. -There are more to production than just PS and PR and the 9800X3D is actually faster in PS. -FPS is just one factor. There are 1% lows and 0.1% lows where the X3D chips especially the 9800X3D is a lot superior. Same with frame time. -When benchmarking FPS games, the most CPU intensive points in the game matter the most. So, unless you chose those areas to benchmark, the true strength of the 9800X3D won't be seen. -At 4k, the GPU is taking the hit so it's the least indicative of true CPU performance. Once newer faster GPUs hit the market, then the differences would become more noticeable. -Currently, there's hardly any reason to purchase the Core Ultra series. In intel fan is better off with 1200, 1300 or 1400 series chips. They are better at gaming most of time and great for production workloads without having to fork over any money for a new motherboard and memory. -The 9950X3D will very likely wipe the floor with anything intel has in terms of productivity and gaming.

[@robeytech]

All valid points, we try very hard to make things simple and the data we show, shows your points. Simply put the x3D is an uplift in gaming across the board at all resolutions. Here are approximately what the uplift is like and it’s up to you to determine if that’s good. For the price point these are the chips that people consider the most (based on purchase data) and here are the pros and cons. Sure I can make this longer, but HUD and GN are already doing much deeper dives.

I am jumping to AMD for the first time ever. I used to build my own Intel PC's back in the day, then bought a gaming laptop that has lasted me 6 years. Time to build my own again but in a SFF case since I have found I really don't travel with this beast. One concern is that Intel has not publicly committed to the new LGA-1851 socket (or any rumors to do so) going beyond just one generation and AM5 is going to be supported for awhile. Another concern is cooling in a tiny form factor. I want gaming but some support for productivity. I watched for the Intel Ultra release and reviews. Not compelling. I thought I was going to a Ryzen 9 chip (with compromises on gaming) until I saw the 9800X3D news. Waited for those reviews. Yep, sold! I will be buying that CPU when retailers start listing them. I am betting that future releases of higher end Ryzen 9 X3D will kick butt and I can still use my same motherboard/socket. This is fun stuff and I hope that Intel can improve on their current new architecture and give AMD a scare. Competition is a good thing to have for us consumers.

Finally, a review that talks to me and exactly with the 2 CPUs I had in mind to upgrade from a 8700K. Productivity numbers AND 1440p gaming numbers that tell me what to expect now that I'm gaming in 1440p for a few years. While I understand the 1080p numbers to avoid GPU bottleneck, it's still 1440p numbers that really counts to me because that's where I'm at. Now I see that I can either play Apex Legends at 300 fps or 250 fps depending of the CPU I will select. I'm glad to see that 250fps will be more than enough for me which also get me a huge boost in productivity which make more sense to me than adding an extra 50 fps I won't be able to notice neither enjoy the extra value at all and suffer from much lower productivity numbers.

Reviewers found Core Ultra had stability problems and were expensive. A hard pass at this stage, because other chips are better value without needing expensive RAM and main boards. The 9950x is the productivity choice on a broad range of applications and games better. Of course you are free to pose an either/or question pitting 8c vs 20c on productibity tests that heavily favour more cores, but it's misleading.

@@Rhialto 9950x 16c/32t was meant above. In general reviews say Core Ultra S is not good value, then retailers slashed prices on 12th-14th gen, with i9 12900k on offer @ $180 in one Best Buy promotion. Similarly AMD cut prices, the Ry9 9900 12c/24t is already below $400 & 9950x closing on $530 despite selling out immediately after Intel's launch event. The 9800x3D had very good SMT performance, if AMD launches a dual V-cache 9950x3D it'll be because it delivers for 32t mitigating bandwidth bottleneck the Ryzen 7 9700 likely had leading to lack lustre power efficiency with PBO.

That's not true. They're about the same. In blender and premiere the ultra 7 beats it

@abaj006 yeah but you said the 9900x. The 9950x is in a whole other price range

The gaming, glazing bias for AMD is unreal.

Congrats bro, its not like x3d is good only for gaming, oh wait it's indeed only good for gaming. If you want productivity, why even talk about x3d? Just pick the non x3d

[@dawienel1142]

wonder what the point of this comment is, if you wanted productivity focus you're in the wrong place. Its like I look at a sports car review and get butt hurt when they don't include a ton of off road tests or focus more on it. The cope for intel from the few fanboys left is real these days (XD)

AMD or Intel ... leave it to profesionals like userbenchmark, they are always right, if you flip what they recommend :D
