7:11 Conclusion: Is it the fastest...? - Věda a technologie
So, it's only 3% slower than a 12900KS. Uses half the power. Fits in a 5 year old motherboard.
It's an absolute win for me.
Also costs almost half the price… hopefully this pushes Intel to be even more price competitive than they have been
@@FleaOnMyWiener Yes, this! I understand this video is challenging the claim that it is the fastest gaming CPU, but I feel like the video also doesn't emphasize enough that it's half the price of a near identical performing Intel CPU (for gaming). I watched this video 3 quarters and thought it was a bash video, while in reality, this thing is freaking epic.
It destroys every CPU in games that utilize that v-cache like Flight Sim 2020 and GTA V. It trades blows with the 12900ks, looking at everyone's benchmark results the "best gaming CPU" crown changes according to the game selection. i would say they're on par with each other if it werent for the massive price difference.
less price than 12900ks
I say, run the test again without the DDR5 for intel and stick with the same as AMD. Also the intel motherboard was released 2 years after the AMD board which could also have an advantage. 1000% AMD win
Faster in games where it matters, for 40% less power and is 45% cheaper. Seems like a banger.
You compensate the price by needing a 360 AIO, as it's even warmer than the regular 5800X. And that thing is already a bitch to cool. 12900KS is also a workload CPU while 5900X3D is for gaming only, so bad comparison.
@@thedeegee1601 …and you wouldn’t need an AIO for 12900KS, which is >10°C hotter at comparable loads?? Ye, sure sure xD
@@thedeegee1601 it's runs cooler then the i9, it also draws less power then the regular 5800x. And you don't need a 360 rad for 150 watts. As far as productivity is concerned it's only about 5% slower then the 5800x in most test, where it's not faster. And saying a cpu is for gaming only is...
Interesting.
@@thedeegee1601 Don't forget you need overpriced motherboard and ddr5 for Intel
@@thedeegee1601 You don't need a 360 AIO. AMD dynamically scales it's power based on available thermal headroom. If you want PBO to work it's magic then sure, you go big but for normal gaming then a small AIO or even decent tower cooler is more than up to the job. I have a 5800x that sits at 80c under full load on a basic 120mm AIO and that's it's intended thermal target- 80c. 90c is where you start to worry as that's the maximum rated temperature.

This is getting ridiculous.
Wow.... I didn't notice that the first time round lmao. Wtf LTT?
I straight went to comment section after hearing that to check if someone also mentioned this. Weird flex.
I normally fully agree with Anthony. In his point of a 12700K being a better value, I disagree. You said you paired the Intel with your fastest DDR5. That exponentially raises the cost for minor improvements on the work side.
Ram speed has been shown to have very little impact on performance. You could get a cheaper pair of sticks and it would still be close to same performance for $50 less.
@@LiberatedMind1 That’s completely inaccurate. A simple look at LTT’s benchmarks on the 12900K as well as GamersNexus shows performance increases of up to 20% when running DDR5 vs DDR4.
@@GlitchedEnt I meant within the same gen, of course ddr4 to 5 will make a difference.
@@LiberatedMind1 What was the point in your comment then?
@LiberatedMind - Then why are you talking? Just wait until this month when AMD announces this 3D V-Cache technology WITH DDR5.
It's crazy to think of the insane range of performance that can be had from one single CPU socket. I built my current PC in early 2019 with an R5 2600 on a B450 board and have since upgraded to a 3600 which was already a great boost for gaming, but I could literally drop this CPU in my current MOBO and get like 50% more gaming performance. Heck, some people might even still be on 1st gen Ryzen and could upgrade to this. It hasn't been a perfectly smooth ride, but AM4 has been an absolutely legendary achievement.
I can confirm running a ryzen 5 1600 4.0ghz!!!
I can't upgrade to this because my motherboard is an x370 lol
I actually would have to get a new motherboard. on the other hand I could look for something in the ryzen 3000 lineup.
Soon there will be bios update for you mb
@@ArtisChronicles 5000 series bios for x370, b350 and a320 is on the way.
That's what I have been waiting for, can finally upgrade from my Ryzen 7 1700
That last point is important. It is still using the AM4 socket. Intel creates a new socket every other release. So sure, this isn't the "fastest" chip out there, but for those who bought in a while back, it makes for a great upgrade without having to invest into an entirely new system.
Except for that fact that everyone cheaps out on motherboards
unfortunately I bought into the platform a little too early. now I'd have to build a whole new system to upgrade.
@@smoothbraindetainer to be fair if intel and amd made motherboards direct I would be happy to buy them. I got a bank of i7 3770 on intel motherboards and they are rock solid
dont worry, AMD has already claimed they will do the same thing as intel. they need to be as flexible as possible, they cant lock themselves down to a single socket again.
@@ArtisChronicles don't earlier mobos support ryzen 5000 with bios updates?
It may looked like that the 12700K is cheaper, but once you factor in the motherboard cost, the Ryzen still has lower platform cost.
Yea and don't forget the lower energy cost. The AMD has more efficient and better overall CPU here.
Don't forget the price of ddr5 💀 that alone is enough to swerve away from that.
@@NS-py4ky you can use ddr4 with lga 1700, yet not on am5...
Keep in mind that you don’t need an expensive new board or DDR5 memory to utilize its full potential. AMD for the win here.
It's actually quite insane to consider that it's on par with intels offering (in terms of gaming) and nearly half the cost and still using ddr4 ram, I can only wait to imagine what Amd has to offer with its upcoming generation.
Half the energy consumption! You need an additional air conditioning just for that monster.
I just need amd to exist to get intel to move their ass, ill still buy a Intel processor over AMD because you litterely get what you paid for, I've had issue with amd before so possibly I am biased, Intel is just the goat in my book due to the ease I've had with them

@@infernaldaedra i'd like the msrp for gpu's to go down. each generation is getting more and more expensive, even without scalpers
the 5500 is a meme along with most of the others. 5800x3d is a huge win for amd but no overclocking sucks. 12600k/12700k + good ram and an oc is still gonna be better too. lisa has been making so many dumb calls these days, dont really get it
Equally? I think you're mistaken, kind stranger. Intel's running shitscared and everyone knows it. I bet the Intel head engineers are cussing themselves over prioritizing raw electric power (Wattage) instead of cache bottlenecks.
I hate AMD, because of missing iGPU. Intel gen12 processors are far better than stupid AMD. AMD GPU sucks in hardware encoding. Governments should ban sales of CPUs without iGPU.
Waited half a year and the price dropped by 100, and at 350$, or less in some places, it's a good cpu.
it was at 320 in october, I should have bought it but I said I will stick for black friday, where it was sold out.... Its 30$ whatever
@@wasdc In EU the best i found was 350-340€. Didn't see it for less anywhere.
327€ in Lithuania
@ironvxz I don't think it will get much lower from this point, or higher.
@ironvxz
In canada, our main retailer put out a coupon for the 5800x3d, which brings the price down to 320$ usd for boxing week.
microcenter still has it at 340$, which it has been for quite a bit, so I suggest waiting until next week (right around christmas/boxing day which is dec 26) to see if they have some boxing day deals to save up to 30$. If you don't really care for potentially 30$ savings, you aren't missing out if you buy it now.
I think you should have also ran the tests with DDR4 on the intel platform. Some of the games in the suite have been shown to run better when using lower latency DDR4 than even the fastest DDR5 kits.

They failed to mention. On top of the $800 for the I9 12900KS you also need to spend more on RAM, more on a motherboard and more on. Power supply. 12900KS is an enthusiast part. The 5800X3D is actually for a regular consumer.
Also note on cooling. To max out the 12900KS you need DDR5 6400 RAM afaik, a 240mm radiator, a more expensive mainboard aswell as a bigger PSU as mentioned. All that to barely beat AMDs 5800X3D on an old socket and architecture, which performs almost identical while drawing less power. Yikes
depends if you go for ddr5 boared or ddr4...
@@nontoxic9960 You can, but at that point you lose that performance edge you would gain over getting a 5800X3D. Why would you spend $800 on a cpu to knee cap it with DDR4 so it doesn’t perform to its best abilities. Cheaper to buy AMD’s new chip
@@nontoxic9960 You can. But it's even more of a money waste if you do. It's already a terrible chip, using DDR4 just makes it completely obsolete.
Ah yes, DDR4 and 50w more from your power supply will bankrupt those i9 buyers
When I stop to think about it the fact that AMD can compete with their almost one year old generation, with extra cache... at lower temps and lower power usage makes me wonder what the future will look like. I have been using Intel since the 286 days with a short AMD stint for the X2's. But since the first Threadripper and then the 570X platform I have used AMD in my main rig (have many computers and serves) and I haven't regretted it a second.
Can I find instances where Intel are faster? Sure! Does AMD give good enough performance that I will gladly support them in order to get at least two major players in the x86 CPU market to enable competition and benefit consumers? Any day of the week.
Same for me i was a huge intel user never owned anything from amd but after going from a i5 6600k to a r9 3900x i was super impressed and im really considering staying with amd even if intel is currently better
By taking 6 months to add a layer of cache on their existing CPUs when intel created a brand new architecture in 6 months pretty ironic right?
@@nayan.punekar dont be stupid the new architecture took way longer and whats wrong with a bit of an older gen processors when they still can hang or beat intel?
@@andreasstrauss5194 I'm not being stupid and nor am I calling it old.Pretty hypocritic of you to call me stupid when you literally are calling a chip with a whole new layer of cache old and all it got was minor gains just about 10-15 more fps for the majority of the tests for 50$ more than the 12700k is clearly more stupid than what I said.
@@nayan.punekar You think it took Intel 6 months to create a brand new architecture? Sorry mate but then you obviously know nothing about what goes into designing CPU's. It took way longer than that.
Also, how "old" an architecture is doesn't matter. The feature set and performance matters. If something new is released that suck it would be dumb to buy it just because its new. Heck Intel used to take their previous gen architecture to produce their HEDT platform.
For me, the frame stability upgrading from a Ryzen 5 3600 has been astounding. It's been especially great in VR, with vastly more consistent framerate in VR Chat and similar games even on my RTX 2070 Super.
Holy shit this is the exact case scenario I have so good to hear it makes a huge difference, was thinking of just doing an incremental update and skipping the current gen entirely.
what gpu are you using. I just upgraded to a 7800XT and debating between the 5800X and X3D from my 3600. Currently playing BG3 and looking forward to City Skylines 2.
@@daviddeacon4258same
Damn fr ?? Ima get it then since I also using that CPU as well. I do have a beefed up 2060, but agian it's a 2060. ;-;
I anyone is still reading this for that exact case scenario then I can confirm it was night and day difference for me, upgraded from a ryzen 5 3800X and got an average of +20 to 30fps in vrchat while being fairly stable (do be careful of vram usage tho). Also it CAN be overclocked but I would advise using the built-in options to do so in bios instead of playing with the numbers manually. A very slight underclock with the highest level of overclock available in bios lets the temp stay around 80 or less while being very stable
Its still rather impressive that this is not only still on AM4 but the fact that it is so damn power efficient as well vs Intel's top performers.
ignore reply above mine ^
@@DeerJerky Report those whenever you see them.
I agree. But the real kicker is the clock speeds, and this is why so many people think Zen 4 is going to be a really good improvement. This chip is getting this kind of performance running game threads at about 4.4GHz. The 12900K is running those game threads probably around 5.2GHz (somewhere between single thread and all-core, and threads are rotating through the 8 cores to balance load and heat).
Imagine if AMD could fix the issue with its interconnect having to clock slower which affects IO and the connection between core chiplets AND limits the speed for memory, AND can push a 5GHz ALL-core, which means it too could run game threads at around 5.2GHz.
And even more scary. Zen 3, such as the 5800X can already game as fast as Alder Lake IF those CPUs were clocked the same.
So, put this all together. Boosting game threads from about 4.5GHz from something like a 5800X up to 5.2GHz, speed up the interface which reduces latency also, make other improvements to the architecture that helps IPC, AND THEN have a couple SKUs with Vcache for gaming.
And I can see why Intel is deciding to make Raptor Lake a blast furnace by boosting ALL-CORE up a couple hundred MHz which then allows game threads to run 5.4 - 5.5GHz with boost clocks. Scary amount of power vs. scary amount of performance.
Yes, true, but no-one is showing the idle/light activity power usage, where most computers spend most of their time. 12th gen Intel is in a league of it's own there, with the chiplet design from AMD preventing it to power down more. I hope AMD will be able to overcome this limitation in the next gen.
@@kasimirdenhertog3516 they might spend most of their time there but unless you just leave your computer on 24/7 and hardly use it the savings at idle over higher useage will likely become worthless
The cost efficiency of this is insane. No scalped DDR5, used motherboards ok, low power requirements... a whole build with this can easily cost half of one with a 12900k/ks or more money can be thrown into a different tier GPU.
Can everyone please tell MSI to post the new Bios for b350 and x370 motherboards for Ryzen 5000 support. Until that happens we can't buy the damn processors.
Sounds like a challenge for Jay - build a MOBO / RAM / cooler build for cheaper than the 12900 ....
TIER!
12900ks yes normal 12900k no... 12900k can be found for 500 ish usd... 5800x3d is 449 or near there...
@@TheBURBAN111 On this benchmark the 12900k was running on 5,6gHz DDR5. That still bumps the price, if you consider that you can literally use a 4 year old 70 USD mobo with 50USD ram and still match intels performance.
You would need a solid mobo because of the i9 power draw and the ram price is triple. So adding that up, you can actually buy a tier higher GPU.

Why would you not recommend the 5800X3D for new builders? Seems weird when the platform is so affordable and it's really an incredible chip for gaming
Because there won't be any upgrade in the future so if you decide to buy a new am4 board, the cpu and ddr4 ram you'll have to buy a new board and ddr5 ram if you want to upgrade your cpu in the future..

As a last hurray for AM4, the swan song for this platform, I should say: Bravo! What a wild ride! AMD completely impressed me up to the very end. I'll keep building AM4 PCs for the time being, but I'm expecting anxiously for AM5 platform, that hopefully will compete head to head with Intel for the coming years. Farewall, AM4!
I might upgrade to the 5800X3D from my 1600X on B450. That should keep me going until AM6.
I agree. I won't buy it but I'm very glad AMD is giving the Ryzen userbase either
A. Something to upgrade from Zen or Zen 2
B. Something exciting for AM5 with 3d cache
i have X570 with R3 2300X then R5 3600
for one last time R7 5800X3D will really be the last one
and what's next will be the future
if they make AM6 to be 4 gens + across like AM4 (might as well just skip AM5 for many reasons) AMD will be the go to choice since they are proved with Ryzen (if they don't flop like Bulldozer).

Basically, cache is the fastest memory outside of the registers on a cpu. If you're interested, look up cache hits and cache misses.
36MB is a lot for l3 that's why many dont see difference, and intel was giving is 12 or 16 MB for LONG TIME, but as those sizes might become popular, stuff will be redesigned to use it more often, which would yeld this cpu some gains down its lifetime as well. 9700k (which is almost 4 year old now) had 12, so big cache is fairly new concept for games, obviously underutilized.

you went from speed of cache to cache misses. I don't see the relation.
This CPU is like the best season final of the Ryzen AM4 show. Now customers exited to see the AM5 season.
the good question here is, will they manage to sort out the 3d V-cache limitation for AM5 boards. i mean, a chip with this much cache, better cooling, better architecture and with DDR5 is going to be a huge leap in performance.
Lisa will bring an oven with her, take out the new Ryzen 7950X chip, and say, "yes". "Yes, we did manage that".
it's just insane to see how much more the Intel core consume power.
Well... that's because they boost so insanely high... This also needs pretty high voltages, which increases current flow in the die, which increases temperature, which causes resistance to drop in a small feedback loop until a thermal equilibrium is reached.
That's one of the reasons why extreme overclockers use LN2/DICE.
In easier terms: The higher you go, the less efficient you become (diminishing returns).
Only in workloads that hit 100% usage on all cores.

8:40 "Probably"? Definitively NOT! There's no way to get this performance overclocking those other CPUs.
Doesn't matter is in productivity is slower than the standard 5800X, people upgrading from it will be coming from a Zen 2 or even Zen 1, the gains will be massive.

cant wait to see how the 3D line of cpus stacks up in the long run against the AM5 platform and possibly 13th gen intel.
The 5800X3D is the only 3D CPU to be released before Zen 4 on AM5. There won't be a lineup. It will be interesting however to see what massive amounts of cache do for say a Zen 4 3D lineup.
Zen4 3d will come sometime later, probably again only 1 chip as the cache benefits only gaming and almost nothing else

did you already buy am4?
or still waiting?
I disagree - I think it was an excellent sendoff.
It seems to me that it would have been appropriate to throw the 5900X into the fray considering its price in comparison with the new chip, especially if you're going to include productivity tests.
If you look at other (GN) benchmarks, you'll see that on average it's faster than the 12900KS. It really just depends on what you benchmark
Yup. I was already planning on buying this, but seeing the 1% low uplifts Steve mentioned confirmed my decision.

@@edwarddudley3504 Does it matter? At the end of the day the main takeaway is that the 12900KS isnt good value for users who only do gaming and light productivity loads.
@@MrDamning GN used windows 10 and the 5800x3D fares better
Well GN didnt use a 800+$ Ram kit overclocked to absolute max to push out extra advantage for Intel while using 300$ kit on AMD. LTS did that because their staff gets directly paid by Intel with the 5000$ upgrades for preferance
Wait... Half the power consumption, a lot less heat, 3% slower productivity than the competing 12700K and 3% slower in gaming than the 12900KS? And against DDR5-5600?
Well, that's a big win in my book.
Hell ya! it is
Don't forget price
3% slower productivity is just mistake in overall productivity chart. 5800X3D is slower than 5800X in producitivity and 12700K is good 10-50% faster.
My man! Love watching ur vids keep it up!!
Note that the 5800X3D is a Ryzen *7* being compared to the i-*9*, and it performs pretty much equal to or better to the top i-9 in most fields, now think of a Ryzen 9 with this tech. This thing is also a solid few hundred dollars cheaper than the Intel equivalent (the i-9), and doesn't need the 76th new chipset of the week unlike Intel.
That's a ridiculously ignorant take. The i9 is an all-around package intended for productivity use and competes with the 5950x, which it blows out of the water. The 5800x3d on the other hand has subpar productivity performance, because those workloads do not utilize the large cache. The i9 is effectively 2 5800x3d's put together, which would cost MORE ($900).
@@polarbear9672 From what I remember the i9 was released to compete against the thread ripper processors, not the normal Ryzen AM4 CPUs. So it whips a CPU from a lower sque and everyone calls it a win. i9 does not compete with the 5950x, it competes with the thread ripper. Am I missing something here? I have been out of the news for a few years so please let me know if I am wrong.
@@utra1 threadripper is dead, INTEL and AMD have abandoned the HEDT market too.
@@utra1 Did you forget that threadripper died a looooong time ago?
@@polarbear9672 The 12900K was released several months after the 5950x so it makes sense it would best it. No doubt AMD's next gen series will beat the 12000 series. That's the point of a competitive market. What matters here is that compared to each other, AMD provides the same results (in terms of time) as Intel for equal or less money and better thermals.
What I don't get is how you emphasize that the 5800x3D can't be compared to the 12000 series because its 3D cache benefits only from gaming and then in the next sentence compare it to the 12900KS because in that context it supports your argument. AMD absolutely destroyed Intel when considering price-value-thermal ratios; theres just no saying otherwise.
I love the fact that AMD decided to release the 5800X3D just to show off their new technology that, most likely, will be integrated into their next gen.
Only if they can improve the power limitation for the cache. The 3d is being beaten now by the regular 3800 for productivity.
@@Safetytrousers True, but if the SKU is not being intended for productivity it becomes less relevant.
@@Safetytrousers They said that the OC limitation was for this chip only. That leads me to believe that the next iteration won't have the limit (assuming that holds true and tehy are able to work through whatever it is that necessitates the limit).
It WILL be a big part of ZEN-5 ! and by than, Intel will be a JOKE !
What do you mean just to show off? They make money by claiming the 'best for gaming' crown and they've rushed this out to keep that from what I can see.
Would be fun if they left the ability for negative curve optimizer settings. And still limit max core voltage to 1.35v.
As it has been one of the best ways to overklick the 5000 series already it would be nice if they left that.
Someone on Twitter has already posted shots of one running at 4.8GHz. Bet it won't be long before BIOS mods find a way around all the locks.
@@CaptainKenway You dont need new "way around". Those 4.8 ghz is a result of boosting "base clock" frequency with locked voltage. This is a very old approach to OC "locked" (non K for Intel) cpu.
Pretty sure you will fry it if you OC.
It is not that CPU requires that 1.35 constant voltage, but 3-D Cache.
So technically you can OC cores, if you don't touch cache so don't harm stability.
But core effective clock for AMD is equal to L3 cache clock, so it is more of potential stability issue than anything
@@kiloneie you will hurt it if the voltage goes up. Curve optimizer just say what voltage each clock frequency should offset to. So if you can reduce the voltage the CPU mat boost higher (if it's stable that is) and would provably land at 1.35v anyway, just with higher clockspeed.
Amd can't use a baseline to edgy for stability so there is always some margin to push the chip somewhat without increasing heat or voltage.
Or the old way of oc, lock the voltage and push the clocks until unstable and backtrack until stable.
I’m a proud Ryzen 7 5800X owner and this CPU is amazing, and slept on. She runs a little hot, but a 240 AIO controls the temps comfortably.
I didn't pay much attn to temps after I switched from a Noctua fan to a 120 and it was just 'better' I never looked back. But when I recently upgraded to a 240 water cooler, my 5800x never gets past 85C during normal use, but I still get pretty wild fluctuations, like jumps from 55C to 75C in less than 2 seconds. Do you find this to be normal? I'm using some blue goo Noctua paste and wondering if I should scrape and try something else, or I'm just too much of a novice to know whether or not this is normal behavior anyway. I never did rigorous testing with the 120 so I don't have a baseline for direct comparison and I don't want to swap back to find out.
Had a 5800X last year for 2 weeks, nothing but crashes. Got a 11700 for a year now and 0 crashes.
To be fair, AMD report their temperatures differently to Intel so what we see as being hot is actually not so hot really. AMD reports the die temperature at the hottest point so 80c under full load is actually perfectly fine. If I ever saw 80c on an Intel chip I would always worry but I don't with AMD.
@@thedeegee1601 That was most likely a compatibility issue with either the motherboard or the RAM (I would bet the RAM) due to AMD using the RAM inline with their infinity cache. That's the only real downside of the Ryzen line-up, they can be a bit picky with the RAM so it can pay to research a little before you buy a system. Other than that the Ryzen chips are much better value for money.
@@rlibby404 I have a cheap CM 120mm AIO and yeah, my temps jump up quick too but that's perfectly normal. As long as you're not getting near to the 90c limit it's fine. It's working as intended and around 80c is the normal running temperature for a 5800x.

Ryzen 9 is no faster at gaming than this. With i9 you get productivity and gaming. With 58003D you get gaming, with 5900x you get productivity, in two different chips.
@@DrKrFfXx000000000000 I see a lot of people mentioning this, but how much worse is it actually at productivity? From the benchmarks above I've seen the difference being in the single digit %, if I remember correctly. So how is it a bad productivity chip? Unless I'm missing something crucial. I'm looking to build a new system, and I want both gaming and productivity, but I don't see this 3d cheap as something that won't be good for both.
I think in the future they might stick the cache under the core and maybe septate the power delivery for the cache so it can operate normally whilst the cores overclock.
Close, but no? Maybe? This would likely cause some issues with timings in some way. Or at least I imagine it would. They could probably fix it, maybe... but I'm not sure. There is a reason afterall why the cores on closest to the substrate, right?
What is more likely a probable resolution to this problem, is they will use the direct copper interconnects to transfer heat more efficiently. The thing about electronics is that your copper is always going to be a heatsink in some fashion. At low temps, this doesn't matter. Low temps for copper that is, relatively speaking. So all you need to do is add more of it, with maybe even a vapor chamber or heat pipe in it. These would be ultra tiny, and carry very very little actual vapor of whatever is in it. But they would be used to interlayer between the different heat sources to help direct that heat towards the IHS.
They can keep the height the same, by just making the IHS wider so that more heat can be dissipated via the sides as well as the top.
So, some new heatsinks with beveled edges might be a thing for enthusiasts, but normal flat heatsinks would still do the job well enough.
This solution allows for them to keep the height the same, and even possibly keep using the AM4 socket, provided they don't need to increase the overall PCB size of the CPU. If they do though... then so be it.
To help anyone having a hard time visualizing this, think of it this way. They would be giving the CPU a circulatory system for heat to escape the hottest areas. Just imagine it like tiny veins of copper, with a small flat 'heart' that is the vapor chamber. They might need to sacrifice some of that cache space to allow for this, but ultimately the end result would be something like the 5800X3D, but with a lip at the bottom of the IHS to allow for the 'veins' to wrap around and dissipate their heat as well more effectively.
This would indeed create a new point of potential failure for CPU's, if somehow that vapor escaped. I'm sure that would cause issues indeed. So there would be a new silicon lottery of sorts. Except now it's the CPU's circulatory system that is the variable. Extreme over clockers might need to figure out new methods to delid these, and/or their capability to use liquid nitrogen at all on them.
Anyways. That's just my thoughts on it.
Man, the more I watch Anthony, the more I love him! Great review!

Agree, linus and his guys are doing a great job with their channels. Always entertaining and informative.
Anthony is the best.

YES!! Anthony's thumbnails should _always_ feature flames, explosions and screaming.
Very cool you brought up CPU cache miss. This can also perform differently better depending on how the software is written. This is the reason of the desire to use data-oriented design instead of object oriented. Unity D.O.T.S is just this. Very interesting stuff, thanks for the quick lesson on CPU cache miss :).
Anthony really is a credit to the team, can you remember how awkward and shy he used to be?
Honestly, Linus made something truly special with LTT

AM4 has been a great platform. I bought in with a x370 and 1700 and now run a 3900x i picked up for £250 last year might be able to drop a 5900x at some point and to be honest i don't really see any reason to leave the platform for at least another couple of years.
Agree. I'll hopefully be able to get one of these chips to replace my 2600X on my MSI Gaming Pro 470 board with 16gb of 3200 ram. I already have a 360mm aio cooler I picked up a few years ago on sale. So I pop this chip in, apply a little thermal paste, and away I go. Solid performance for business tasks while offering outstanding performance for gaming.. which is where I want the performance to be anyway. Definitely a solid system that will hold me 2+ years before replacing it with a whole new build.
I upgraded to 5800x3D from the 5800x and it was worth it to me. Games where I felt micro stutter I don’t feel it anymore
Can I please have your 5800x for my birthday?😅
I love your reviews! Thanks!
The Intel CPU is twice the price, twice the power consumption and runs hotter due to all that energy, and has practically half the upgradability due to changing the socket more often.
If AMD is even on par with Intel these days, they're winning by leagues.
12900KS is a 16 core CPU with twice the multithreaded performance of the 8 core 5800X3D. They aren't competitive processors.
Also the AMD CPU is the last release for it's socket while the intel socket will be receiving new CPUs this year, 13th gen Raptor Lake, which will be faster than the 12900KS.
If only AMD chips were as stable as Intel..
Intel launches 250w cpu right as electricity prices double 0_o
Yup ! Intel is just full of shit !
Bruh, the 5800X3D is literally on a dead-end platform. At least intel has 13th gen on the same socket.
I'm really wandering about compilation times. when I compile UE5 from sources, the bottleneck is definitely the cache, so I'd like to see if it's a great last upgrade for AM4 platform.
This is great... Great for an upgrade path for my system in a few years if I need more cores/cache.
I hope they improve the heat dissipation between the 3D cache and processor
The 5800x3d and the Epyc 3D are proof of concept chips. They establish that the manufacturing process works. It is very well established that some tasks benefit from more cache and some don't. There does need to be a lot more testing, and SW/OS optimization, to get the most out of this tech. The next generation of this tech should be even more interesting.

It's nice to see AMD pushing features that actually benefits gaming performance. Reminds me of the old Broadwell desktop CPUs which "accidently" became a beast for gaming because of the massive L4 cache. Paired with a high end gpu the i7-5775C ran circles around the newer i7 6700k and i7-5960x. Imagine the gaming performance Intel could deliver if they actually cared about that stuff.
This sounds like a similar situation to HBM on video cards. Lots of space but at a trade off that is work load dependent.
Nice well-rounded review with all the pros and cons. Thanks!
Decided to pull the trigger and got this with a decent X570 board (Aorus X570S Master), and a few things for $1000, and hopefully drop that into my current rig that has a 7700K and Z270 board. Also got that recommended Noctua cooler.
The fact that I can give my rig a few more years for that price is nice, and not having to upgrade my DDR4-3200 32GB kit is also nice (I hope). Still waiting for a compelling GPU upgrade from my GTX 1070, maybe the RX 7700 XT when that comes out next year.
Forgot to mention, I didn't plan on overclocking this CPU (I didn't do it in my 7700K), so I'm not upset about that.
Lol you're pictures and face gestures on the clock bait story are great not that it's click bait but the freeze frames are hilarious and get me to watch the video sometimes
Ok but...for that small of a difference, AMD at $450 vs Intel at $800 is easy enough of a choice.
... or you could get the i7 12700k that can currently be bought for $330 with basically identical performance to the amd.

Hey, that is still fine to do. Just because it's EOL doesn't mean it's suddenly obsolete. The chips will still be delivering their performance for years.
Nice 3% more performance for Intel with double the power used...I hardly would call this a victory for Intel. When AMD finetunes the cooling solution with Zen4, Intel will legit poop their pants. If they keep pushing more and more power...well that will also have a limit one day.
also almost double the price
Wattage in gaming is not the same as wattage when at 100%.
Depends on what is being done. Intel's chips are really good at doing AI workloads and vector tasks compared to AMD while AMD is really good at throughput and IPC. AMD does have better advantage in efficiency and (at the moment) price, but Intel has better vector instructions, higher clock and higher power scaling compared up AMD, which is already clear in Intel's Laptop Processor Benchmarks.

Who cares, you are always GPU limited anyway. These CPU benchmarks in reviews with RTX3090Ti and 1080p are purely academical. No one (sane) plays at 1080p with such specs. And If you run more mid range GPU at 1080p, then you will still be GPU limited. In the end it's like couple percentage difference between all these new CPU released in the last 12 months, either AMD or Intel, if you game at 1440p, 1800p, 4K.
I really hope no one is falling for these CPU marketing campaigns. You don't need to upgrade CPU more than once every 4-5 years. It's much more useful to save that money and upgrade GPU instead every 2-3 years.
@@Glotttis Negative. Sim games, especially Microsoft Flight Simulator, are heavily CPU bound. Because they require heavy "SIMulation." While it is true that MSFS doesn't need insane FPS and that you can easily run at 30FPS and be fine, MSFS is not like your traditional game that is GPU intensive and heavy. It's why in prior upgrades I've done I've seen larger FPS increases when I upgrade my CPU vs upgrading my GPU.
@@Glotttis Other reviewers tested with the 3080 and still got better results with the 5800X3D.

Remember Intel had just released 10th gen when Zen 3 was first released in 2020, they are now on 12th and only now surpassing AMD, albeit barely and using massive power, that AMD can still compete is pretty impressive and shows how far Intel has fallen behind, especially given how much effort they expended on performance per watt in the AMD wilderness years.
The next round in the autumn is looking to be a bit tasty with 13th gen Intel and Zen 4.
I think the real question is how will the 5800X3D impact the future? I can see AMD adding more cache to make developers use it this approach would put Intel behind since they have less cache and would need new innovations to match the demand for cache.
Check out lunar lake. That is supposed to put intel on top for a while.

For a lot of people, it doesn’t cost $800, its a new mobo, new psu. Vs just plug n play for amd and older am4 sockets, and i think ur missing the most important part is context.
I agree. I’m upgrading from a Ryzen 7 3800X to a 5800X3D and it’s nice I don’t have to buy new hardware.
I’m so glad I went with an AM4 system back when I decided to build my first PC.
My current build, which is unchanged from when I first put it all together, is a gigabyte X570 board, a 3700X and an 2070 super ftw3. This system has served me very well for a few years. I don’t use this pc for productivity workloads, it’s just a basic home use and gaming machine and playing at 1440p on a 144hz ultrawide has been a very good experience. I’ve had minor issues at times where I struggled to reach a consistent 60fps at ideal settings for some highly demanding games but in general, it’s been a great machine.
I just ordered a 3080 to replace my 2070 super and a 5800X3D to replace my 3700X because I figured it was about time to juice up the rig a bit and see how much mileage I can get out of my AM4 board after AMD sends it out to pasture.
Seeing as Intel could only surpass AMD’s gaming performance by rushing out a new chip for double the price of the X3D, I’m quite confident in that purchasing choice. I grabbed one for $330 and that chip should easily carry me through the next 4-5 years no problem.
The power consumption of the Intel is reason enough for me, to go team red. Seems like a no-brainer for a cpu manufacturer to just throw more power to get more performance. The real science is getting as much performance as you can AND keeping the power draw down. So for what's it worth, there's no real competition. Intel is still a decade behind.

Were memory timings and infinity fabric optimized as that certainly is important even with the Vcache version. Going from 3200 default settings to 3800 with all settings fully optimized and fabric on 1:1 you could get 30% increase in FPS with 5950X on certain titles. Should almost get the same benefits with 5800X though tiny difference because of higher clocks and more cores.
As a C++ programmer, I can only say that it's incredibly hard to overstate how important cache memory is.
In simple terms, if what you need to work with is not in the cache memory, it might as well be on the moon. RAM is dead slow, and it's unacceptable to have to wait for things from RAM when you could have done literally *thousands* of calculations during the time you merely waiting for data from RAM.
So, things better be in cache, and the chance that things are in cache is much better if the cache memory is larger.
Programmers spend a lot of time making sure to optimize the chance that data will be in cache. Lectures, books, and so on, all about that one thing. So many specifics to learn about how cache works to avoid things like "false sharing", and so on.
When something runs poorly/slowly, it's because of cache misses. Stupid, shitty code that runs off cache will kick the crap out of finely tuned code that isn't on the cache. The difference is roughly 200x, give or take.
I was just thinking this - in the future, perhaps software will be written to take advantage of AMD's huge cache, especially if they're going with the 3D V-cache as a standard feature for all of their CPUs going forward. Imagine if they used that cache for their iGPU!
Hey, I'm currently majoring in IT, but I haven't gotten any classes on Cache and Optimizations. Do you have any keywords for me to learn ahead of curriculum? Thanks :D
@@user-rd3jw7pv7i do they teach this in IT tho? I thought it's special to CSE/engineering department.
@@user-rd3jw7pv7i not worked with cache but for optimisations have a look into beowulf clusters, it's an easy way to learn parallelisation, it's not the 200x speedup as this person said, but using 8 cores and not 1 is still ~8x faster.
c++ and performance in the same sentence. okay...
I'd like to have seen a real in-game comparison of pop-in from assets.
I kind of wish they would also do a benchmark suite for the Intel chips with DDR4. Just to have a comparison of how the chips compare when on a totally leveled field. I would expect a slight hit, but not too significant. That data would be interesting to see here.
Considering the 19-12900ks costs nearly £250 more than the X3D in the uk, I'd say the X3D absolutely obliterates it for sheer price to performance.
It may be slightly worse in some things and a lot worse in others but comparing this 8 core cpu to a 16-core that costs almost 200 more than it, with the 8 core still coming out on top sometimes is mental.
I find myself interested to see what a "2nd generation" 3D v-cache product from AMD will look like. I'm hoping they make some Zen 4 parts with a massive cache like this too.
proud to have this cpu , as owner ,yes my experience is this a good to have cpu,a little hot temp,but still good performance it can give you
This is a perfect chip for budget AM4 motherboards as well. Many lower end vrm can barely support the ryzen 7s and 9s. Having ryzen 9 performance with a 100 bucks board is fantastic for the ecosystem.
