Hey! We got this one out on time! AMD already introduced their fancy 3D V-Cache tech to their Zen 4 series of Ryzen processors with the 7900X3D and the 7950X3D, but this is the one that everyone is waiting for. The follow-up to their so-good-its-a-problem-for-AMD 5800X3D. Can AMD bottle lightning twice? Can they take down the mighty 13900K, the king of Intel Core processors? ...Something is making me think that Intel might be developing a fear of thunder...

I think it would be a nice touch if you could highlight the CPU in the benchmarks. It can be a little confusing with so many different CPUs at the same time and it took me a bit to actually find the 7800X3D. I know it might be a little thing, but for me at least, it would make it a bit easier to spot the CPU that the review is about. Otherwise great video!
Nah its not just you, the charts in this are all over the place. The orders of the CPUs change around and its not even ordered by fps in some of them (5:02). I don't really get it. Much easier if the CPUs stay in the same spot and we compare its size to other bars easily.
Yeah GN highlights the CPU in their videos, not sure why LMG doesn’t…
yeah, Gamers Nexus always highlight the ones that they're talking about
Honestly I feel it would help if they would just put them in some sort of order, some charts are best to worst performance, some are grouped, some are randomly placed. It can not only make it hard to find the CPU you are looking for but also to actually see how it stacks up.
Yeah... the charts are pretty bad for this one. There doesn't seem to be and rhyme or reason for how the cpu's are listed from chart to chart. sometimes it looks like it's by performance, but other times it just seems random.
7800X3D will sell like hot cakes in Factorio community the same way the 5800X3D did - the performance boost is so massive that it allows you to scale to much much MUCH bigger factories.
Also, memory latency really REALLY __REALLY__ matters to Factorio. A DDR4 2666 vs 3200 MHz made like 10-15% difference in performance provided similar CAS latency ratings. On DDR5 this is even more pronounced and could be a fascinating rabit hole for the LTT Lab.
CAS latency doesn't matter at all, it's more like tRRDS/L tFAW and tRFC for timings.
@@tech_you not this shit again
It's not even a real game
I just hope this cpu can get 60 fps on my modded cities skylines , although most of my mods are gameplay tweak, very few of the mod that is asset mod
in factorio the performance is totally nuts
Still happy 5800x3D being up there in the top representing AM4!
It's insane we went from Ryzen 3 1200 to 5800x3D on the same socket... just freaking insane.
What MOBO btw?
One big thing to take from this is that the 5800X3D is still an elite CPU, holding in with this and there is no need to rush to AM5 and upgrade everything until prices settle and we're forced to.
Interesting. I'm currently looking into upgrade my PC for Starfield, and I have an Intel i5-7600K. I want to switch to AMD, in part, because I like how AMD doesn't force you to buy a new motherboard after ever CPU, so in that regard, I feel like I should go with AM5 because AM4 is on its last generation of CPUs. But I'm also on a tight budget (if you couldn't tell by the fact I still use a i5-7600K). But I'm also in a hurry to build a PC that can play Starfield at 60 FPS.
Maybe my other option is to buy used AM4 parts, that way, when I'm ready to upgrade in the future, the difference in resell value isn't so large.
@@ex0stasis72 Digital Foundry did a video on Starfield that may interest you. They claim there probably will not be ray tracing because it would be basically impossible do to all the calculations in the game. They explain why but it will certainly be a CPU-limited game as are all bethesda games. So I imagine you really could build a computer under $1000 and run the game at fairly high settings especially if you use 1080p.
@@Legendaryplaya thanks! After giving it some thought, I'm probably going to go with a used AM4 motherboard and the 5800x3D. Buying a much cheaper used motherboard solves my concern about it being the last generation on AM4 because I can always just resell it used again for not that much less later.
@ex0stasis72 nice. If it was my money, I'd grab a 3060 ti/4060 ti for DLSS, and it'd be a smooth 60 fps.
@@Legendaryplaya Good choices. I already have a RTX 2070 Super, so I'm not as much in dire need to upgrade just yet. But I am often CPU bottlenecked in CPU bound games, which Starfield is very much be.
AMD’s performance is great in the last few years, but look at that efficiency! 85W while the 13900K is hitting over 250w. That’s insane.
No joke, pairing this with a 4090 is going to lead to an incredibly cool and quiet PC as neither part is using much power at all. Efficiency monstrosities.
@@RicochetForce A 4090 not using much power? Are you high? Efficiency is decent but even that would be way better on a 4090 if they underclocked it a little.
@@RicochetForce Forget to switch alts?
@@AwesomePossum510 I assume if you cap the frames of a game, a 4090 would be more efficient reaching 144 frames than a 4070 would be if that makes sense. It's easier for a body builder to lift heavy dumbbells' than it would be for a teenager. Easier for a Lamborghini to reach 150 MPH than a typical car. This would be the logic but I haven't seen any comparison videos or stats.
@@AwesomePossum510 have you heard of undervolting?
Quick improvement idea:
I think if you keep the charts at 9:00 in a constant order instead of sorting them by value every time would make them much faster to read, especially with many of them in a row.
Agreed! Either that or 'Freeze' the tested product at the top and sort the rest by best to worst.
Bigly agree or even BOLD or HIGHLIGHT the main product being tested.
I like the "best performer" sort order, but definitely something can be changed. Others have mentioned fixing just the review product or bold/colouring the entry.
If bold/colouring is used, it would also be nice to have a second entry for the nearest price competitor (at time of release)
Totally! their graphs/charts are a snooze to digest (and it's a trend among many tech chanels), and why I tend to skip these videos unless it has a substansial shock value. But at that point I only watch until they name-drop the sponsor.
The charts all through the video are impossible to follow and therefore useless fluff. More data doesn't make it better when it's not easy to consume
Glad you guys actually showed the cost savings related to the efficiency. I think that speaks volumes about how great the solution is and if AMD actually spent more time trying to make the top end line of chips behave the way we'd expect they should, then it will be very hard to recommend anything other than AMD solutions.
Follow JIesus and you will not be ashamed.dawdawdawaw
Having the top CPU only matters because we consumers say so,
@@enriqueamaya3883too true 😂
That's the thing AMD will never take risks or move ahead development thats why Intel/Nvidia will always be the best.
That power usage on the 7800x3D is mindblowing. It would have been enough for AMD to retake the gaming crown decisively, but they did it with a part that sips power. Freakin magic.
It's not mindblowing when it loses 5-10% on productivity tasks. That lost time is just going to eat any savings.
@@wasd____ you don’t buy a 7800x3D for production. You buy a 13900k or 7950x.
@@madpistol Not everyone wants to or can afford to buy whole separate computers for production vs. gaming. Most people don't.
@@wasd____ buy a 7700x.
@@wasd____lmao, it's still a killer cpu and just looking at charts doesn't do it justice at all.
Intel and AMD build good CPUs, the cash here is the selling point. It has like double the cash of similar CPUs, so 10% less GHz really isn't the point here.
Just on the graphs: it would be nice if you could highlight the reviewed CPU's result on every page. It jumps around up and down (since the graphs are ordered by performance) and because each graph has short screentime, it's really frustrating to try and quickly see the position on each one.
Up
This. Also, don't shuffle them around. Keep the same order, then its much easier to compare even it the graphs are only shown for a short time.
This! The graphs are always terrible, LTT has acknowledged they're terrible and said Labs will improve them, but why can't we have some QoL improvements while we wait for the step change?
this is why you are part of a failed society, cant pause the video but want things highlighted for you. You are pure laziness exemplified and a brokie
they totally should!
I personally really appreciated the performance per watt cost graphs since they give a good estimate of the proportional difference in cost of ownership. Thanks Linus, Team and Labs!
it skews even more drastically when you add AC/cooling costs to keep your room at a confortable temp!
They just missed talking about idle power while watching videos and stuff, Ryzen CPU's are notoriously horrible at that while Intel has it figured out.
@@TheFPSPower stock yes, but one could always throttle the voltage a bit
@@TheFPSPower It's literally like 5 - 10 watts, total system. If you bought a $500 best of the best gaming CPU with 8 cores that can do well at productivity to leave it sit Idle the whole time, that would be stupid, and you could just turn it off, or set it to sleep after inactivity. I don't know why people keep bringing this up, 1 hour of productivity or six hours of gaming will displace 2 weeks of the difference at idle.
The only point this argument ever makes is people like to grasp at straws to promote their favourite brands.
it's not just electricity savings, a low demanding Watts cpu will also allow to run a cheaper cooler, with less temperature and less noise and longer longevity without the need to repaste often.
You should also try benchmarking CPUs on 4x games like Civ, Stellaris or city builders where they matter the most.
we asked for this on the other 3d cpus review, I guess they didnt care or read it
Follow JIesus and you will not be ashamed.awdawdawdaw
was thinking this myself watching the video. no clue if the videogame heavy or productivity heavy CPUs work best for the videogames that are productivity heavy :( would love to see 4x benchmarks
4x games don't care about 3dcache, 13900K was faster than 5800X3D already
I just wanna see a high end CPU try to play stellaris late game on high speed.
As someone who uses my desktop PC for gaming and home office work, I highly appreciate the increased focus on energy efficiency. While I'm not sure of the impact on menial workloads that don't require full CPU usage, I do take it into account when buying parts (CPU as well as GPU etc.). Especially here in Europe, where energy costs have exploded since February 2022.
Blame your government for not knowing their place beneath Russia's boot.
hmm what happened in february 2022 🤔 /s
You miss an important bit with Factorio. It's a game about automation and scaling out. While it's capped at 60 tps, no matter how powerful your system, it *will* dip below 60tps once you get a complex enough map. The better scaling means running bigger maps before you hit "TPS death". Would be interesting to develop a benchmark that tests how complex you can get before that happens.
maybe they could ask chatGPT to write a script that automates the game in a predictable way to reliably ensure growth happens equally every run, then just test for when the TPS drops.
Unless factorio has procedural generation (random maps, etc). I've never played it so not sure on that part
@@SurgStriker Yes, the maps are procedural, but actual gameplay is quite deterministic. A better test may be a single mega-base that strains even the latest gen hardware and see what the UPS (updates per second) falls to. I'm sure there are plenty of folks in the community who would love to share their multi-thousand SPM (science per minute) bases as a benchmark.
@@SurgStriker The maps are procedural, but that's easily solved using a fixed seed. No need for chat gpt, since the game logic is implemented in Lua. So it would be quite easy to write a "mod" that tiles out parallel construction segments at a set rate using the dev-mode infinite source / sink stuff till the game grinds to a halt. With the fixed rate expansion, that lets you plot performance as "time till TPS drop".
@@SurgStriker ChatGPT isn't some magic spell that can do everything for you.
@@NightKev anime girls aren't magically gonna take your virginity, but here you are with this profile pic
why do these reviews never test simulation speed? like stellaris, civ6, hoi4, total war end of turn times (maybe even football manager?)... It's one of the main strengths of this cpu pretty much no one knows about.
There's a test that exists where a 5900x is put up against a 5800x3d. The 5800x3d destroyed the 5900x in stellaris speed, simulating 25-30% more days in the same amount of time. If this happens with alot of similar games, then this CPU could be a gamechanger for alot of people, but no one seems to explore this further.
I still see people recommending non x3d chips for these type of games, because of "higher single clocks"' and I think alot of people are still making this mistake. Hoping to see someone test this extensively someday, but here we are 1 year later, and still no one has.
edit: please stop saying "no one plays those games" FM23 & civ6 alone make up of 110k players rn on steam. That's not counting any of the total war games or paradox games, or any other simulation/grand strategy game... (which is probably another 200k+ total)
Fr The games i care about with these CPUS are never done
because most players are not playing it.
IDK
@@lostkostin might wanna take a look again at steamcharts. very wrong take
Definitely. My biggest CPU bound game right now is flipping turns on Civ 6 when the game gets late.
That was fantastic review man, I've been testing and loving all this (don't get me started in my self made phd in memory chips and settings beyond and above lol) I've been little behind in my AMD tech but consider me updated and upgraded thanks for your enthusiasm & love for hardware. much love from New Zealand. (not that you would ever read this 4309 comments so far lol)
Please make a video about sound bar/wireless satellites vs AV receiver/wired speakers. You and Jake were super impressed with the HT-A9 from Sony and the Q990C is out from Samsung now. So a cost analysis and obviously the experience between the two would be amazing especially with all the options. Tons to talk about and compare between brands, pricing, setup, etc!
I love how Linus never misses any opportunity to mention how AMD abandoned X399 lol
I'm not a person who remembers CPUs by its chipset names, do you mean the Threadripper non-pro lineup?
I'm mad too; 20grand down the drain damn near
who cares about who you love
@@SyRose901 Yes
@@SyRose901 you could just look it up considering you're on the internet
I really like the comparison of power usage and running costs between different CPUs, it's not something I've considered when building PCs in the past. Would be great to see this in GPUs and the full PC build videos as well.
nice avatar. Also, I always try to build a really power efficient pc.
If you are worried about $50 over 5 years, you have problems.
@@FriarPop - it's like I told everybody when I bought a hybrid SUV, "Do you think gas prices are actually going to go DOWN over time?" Then Obama won, and gas prices went down significantly....
To reference another CZcams channel I regularly watch, Toddstradamas strikes again !
But my point stands - while energy costs might go down in the short term, they'll go up in the long term and it won't just be "$50 over five years ". Also, and far more significantly, lower power means less heat, which means your game or editing software can run better before it thermal throttles.
My first laptop was a Dell desktop replacement that had an early desktop Pentium CPU in it. At the time I didn't know from "thermal envelopes" or "throttling",, so I was really shocked and dismayed, when my super powerful laptop would suddenly run far worse than my three year old 486/66! Thankfully, the first time I had taken it out on the trip my ex-wife and I were at a science fiction con, and some of the people more computer savvy than I were able to tell me these things, and I discovered I could actually keep the thing running faster for longer if I put a towel with ice under the bottom center where the CPU was....
@@FriarPop I save way more than that, but how would you know. You don't know how I use my pc. What my electric prizes are. You just pulled a number out your §§§.
@@tshcktall even if it’s 10x, you have problems if that’s your financial undoing.
i just picked up a 5800X3d, started with a 3060ti and a 3600, when i upgraded my middle monitor to 1440p it left just alittle to be desired, got a good deal on a 3090 but then the 3600 was a HUGE bottle neck. Like my FPS in games like farcry 6 straight up doubled switching to the 5800x3d.
I’m having that issue now but with Intel I have I7-8700K and had a 2080 base. Then I upgraded to a 3080 TI and now most games are running sluggish. Cyberpunk, SCP, Assetto Corsa
Would love to see some graphs comparing the cpu's in non-gaming environments. Like compiling code, assembling application, training machine learning models or deeplearning models. 😅❤❤❤
As a UK viewer (and someone who generally tries not to waste power) the 7800X3D is clearly for me. I had a great experience building a GPU-less AM5 7700 video editing system for someone recently.
Ah yes the 7700, I chose that for my build specifically because of its power efficiency (UK too)
if you cared about power consumption, you wouldn't buy a 7800X3D to begin with, you would get an i3 or a console
@@sophieedel6324 you only buy a console if you only want gaming and nothing else. It does not beat the usage of a computer. Also, i3s are not necessarily less power usage than these chips and why sacrifice massive amounts of performance for that anyway
@@sophieedel6324 then you wouldn’t get an i3 or console either. You’d get a laptop if you truly cared about power consumption. Efficiency matters a lot. The fact of the matter is that those i3s won’t be more efficient than a 7800X3D; you just lose so much in performance and power consumption is barely different. You could also get a 4080 and power limit it to kill consoles in efficiency.
@@sophieedel6324they simply don’t provide the performance necessary for everyday tasks and gaming in one machine. An i3 is great value, don’t get me wrong, but I think in power per watt, the 7800X3D is really quite amazing. Just unfortunate about the clock speeds.
Just look at how the old 5800X3D is keeping up with these new CPUs in games. What a chip!
its not old though
It's not much older than a 13900k....
@@dukejukem8843 The PLATFORM (AM4) it runs on is very old - September 2016 - that is ancient in PC times.
@@DKTronics70 its just a socket .. the platform is the chipset and its evolved over the years . and ddr5 and pcie 5 are not worth the extra outlay at all
Yeah, and I’m still trying to get one without obliterating my bank account lol
This 3D cache advantage reminds me of how overpowered L3 cache was when it got introduced. I did a little test between an Athlon II x4 620 and a Phenom 720. Parked both of them down to two cores and same clock speed. The L3 cache gave me up to about a third more fps iirc. It would stand to reason that more of it would be better when we keep improving it.
Follow JIesus and you will not be ashamed.awdawdaw
Also that was then, L3 cache (or larger cache vs. smaller) has a bigger impact later in a products life cycle. That's why the phenoms stayed relevant way into the core-i era. That's (part of) why the intel X58 platform is kind of usable for gaming today. The other part being triple channel.
these x3D parts will have some absurd longevity, not in maxFPS but in minFPS/frametimes.
@@andreewert6576 Indeed. the minimum FPS or 0.1% low or whatever they call it, is something I use as a general guide when it comes to capping framerate. My current gear for example handles Deep Rock Galactic at 1440p at roughly 120~ish fps, but dips down to 80-90 regularly. I decided to cap it at 100. 10-15 fps drop will not bother me, but 30-40 will be felt. Smooth gameplay is paragon for chill experience, in my personal opinion.
thank you for the power draw numbers here in germany the energy prices are crazy! Im happy I built my ryzen 7900 non x and radeon 7800xt (with an undervolt) as that pc isnt even a noticeable room heater either!
Finally! I'm so happy that you are starting to consider the energy usage of CPUs and the price they truly cost in a longer run.
This. A lot of people (me included) like to maintain their pc parts for a little more than a couple of years
Especially with such a big difference. If you're not playing the highest-fidelity games, you can still benefit from spending a bit more today on this thing than paying for it in energy for the next 3 years or so
That power consumption section is a little misleading though. The 13600k pulls more power in productivity workloads but it's faster. Also, they didn't include idle power consumption numbers. Your CPU spends the majority of the time at idle, and AMD CPUs pull more power because of the I/O die.
I think it's time for a energy consumption testing in different workloads, similar to how laptops are tested for their battery life. Idle, web browsing, 4k playback, gaming (this will be hard, need some sort of average load). It will be harder, cause components need to be tested more in isolation than in conjunction like in laptops, but now that they have the new lab... ;)
Hot take: a difference of maybe $100 in total energy cost between CPUs amortized over a 5 year presumed lifespan is not a consideration. $20/year, less than $2/month, is literally just maybe some random loose change from your pockets. It's nothing you'd ever even notice or think about. It doesn't matter.
This CPU with the extra cache is an absolute monster for World of Warcraft up to 30% extra frames
thats good to know.
Star Citizen too
Really good to know. Only Game that matters ❤
I think MSFS also likes the huge L3 Cache
World of War craft? 😂
Great review given the complexity. Thx team!
i was trying to find a comprehensive video on ryzen 9's and this one was the ONLY video that expressed all my concerns. thank you
I am so glad that you finally started adding performance from games like Factorio! As someone who plays a lot of automation and 4X games. Those are very important metrics to me and many other automation/4X enjoyers. It is also very difficult to find reviews that include them, they all just focus on frames per second in big AAA games.
Agreed. I don’t necessarily play factorio (but want to try it) but i do play games like rimworld, they are billions and recently was gifted satisfactory. And i do enjoy city builder/management games also so it is nice to have some mention outside aaa
Follow JIesus and you will not be ashamed.dawdawdawdad
Yep exactly, I'm looking to upgrade just to improve performance in games like Stellaris etc.
@@Austynrox You should try Oxygen not Included and Dyson Sphere both VERY good.
Also, heavily modded Minecraft tech modpacks. Those are very CPU intensive.
Super happy to see the 5800X3D still very close in performance, gotta thank AMD for blessing us AM4 peeps.
Bought mine yesterday because I didnt want to spend 300€ for a itx motherboard again
got mine a month ago on sale and happy i did. it should last me awhile. AM5 is still too much money
Just got one today but forgot to flash the bios lol. Anyways its great value cpu
The 5800X3D gets beat by 20-30 fps in some titles to the 7800X3D. I was shocked, i haven't seen a generational performance increase like this in a while. czcams.com/video/TVyiyGGCGhE/video.html
@@spacepioneer4070 what he meant was the 5800x3D is about the same as the 7800x3D in 4k gaming. The 7800x3D according to the charts, and the video you linked, only have a noticeable gap over the 5800x3D in 1080p. Even at 1440p the gap shrinks tho. And in 4k the gap is negligible.
It would be really useful if you could include DAWBench in your test suite. It's really difficult to make decisions for audio loads based on the current suite of tests, because realtime audio work is such a specific load which is very sensitive to latency and the ability to maintain high constant speeds.
DAW is interesting for me too. I realise that Energy Efficiency and cost is an important factor, because with audio work computers run for long times and also they might? be more silent since consuming less power.
@@hugoapresname Have you guys come up with a solution for it i cant decide for which platform i will go.
I truly appreciate the cost analysis on power usage. Although not in a state with ridiculous energy cost, that's a great point to delv into.
Those who are willing to be patient generally win these pricing games the companies play, but even with inflation, the fact that you can build a 7800X3D with newest gen for around $1500 when my friend help me build my now 9 yo system for $1200 looks good
I'm so happy about this focus in performance per watt. It's such an important metric that's been overlooked for far too long. I truly wish ltt keeps talking that much about it in future reviews. Not just about CPUs, but anything.
I cannot help but think this absurdity of power consumption nvidia and intel been pulling lately as partially a result from the community and reviewers on average not caring much or at all about efficiency. But raw performance and to hell with the costs.
There's only one more thing that would make me even happier: measuring and caring about idle consumption
I agree! But I would take it a step further because it skews even more drastically when you consider AC/cooling costs to keep your room at a comfortable temp, especially with summer coming up in NA. Very few like to game while sweating.
Performance per watt is pretty much the ultimate measure of who has the best CPU architecture. It's fine looking at the benchmarks, but if the results are very close while one company needs a ton of extra wattage and heat output to achieve that result, I'm obviously going to pick the more efficient and cooler running chip if the prices are anywhere near comparable.
@@marcuscook5145well one thing about it though is some architectures can't consume too much power before they ultimately will fail, like ryzen, and something like 13th gen intel was made to be able to consume very high amounts of power.
All in all I wouldn't say it necesarily makes one architecture superior over the other, but I think it's always a better foundation for improvements if you have lower watts consumed to supply the cpu sufficiently overall.
That breakdown of expected power consumption was a very nice metric. Please continue adding that into reviews!
Eye opening stuff I was looking to upgrade and I know what I’m going with now ! Thanks guys
Now all we need are consumer desktop dual AM5 socket motherboards, so that you can put your interactive tasks on the 7800X3D and everything else on the 7950X.
Is it possible for all the graphs representing the cpus and their relative performance, that there could be a highlight of sorts for the two CPUs being compared? So maybe a red "highlight" around the 7800X3D, and a "blue" highlight for the CPU that costs the same or is priced to compete so that the viewer has a more intuitive feeling for the difference in the charts? Otherwise it feels like just a wall of numbers, and I usually like watching these not because I am going to buy them, but for entertainment. So a simple visual indicator for where they are on the list would be cool!
Totally agree. I like how they go through the graphs quickly but with a little indicator of what’s what I wouldn’t need to pause the video as much.
I’ve been waiting years for the PC to finally release efficient CPU’s. The 7800x3d seems like the real deal. Nice job AMD!
I just don’t understand how Intel has had a few years to update their CPU’s after Apple released their super efficient M chips, but have done nothing for efficiency.
Intel has a 62.8% market share so they dont need efficient chips. 62.8% of the world love Intel and keep buying Intel. AMD only have a 35.2% market share so they need to work much harder than Intel and produce better products than Intel if they want to grow bigger than 35.2%. The CPU company with the bigger market share will always be complacent.
Apple uses an entirely different cpu architecture (Apple is ARM, while AMD/Intel are x86); x86 chips will probably never come close to ARM. ARM has many of Its own issues relative to x86, so ARM releasing into the mainstream desktop market is not happening anytime soon. Comparing ARM efficiency to x86 desktop chips is not a fair comparison by any means.
I'm still rocking a i7 5820k CPU and it was a 6 core processor that you guys hyped as one of the best choices long term even though there was faster chips that were still quad core.
I loved seeing the estimated power costs during ownership. Really made me think about it and realize that the extra cost of the 7800X could easily be justified (plus less heat during summers (or all year if you live in Florida like me)).
The difference is is even really small in the US.. i was shocked how extremely cheap your power still is. In Germany we went up to about 65 us cents per kWh. The difference over a few years can easily be hundreds of Euros.
@Duglum666 honestly never thought about it that way, like as of right now I still live with my parents (not a leach only 16) and I just get the best thing I can afford, totally didn't think power was a factor of cost, even though it's long term.
@@Duglum666 where in Germany, that used to be the case but now in Hesse it dropped back to about 38 cents per Kwh
@@Duglum666 the 65c were during peak, shouldn't hit that again, and most places are coming down quite a bit, seeing contracts here in Austria for low 20c range again, it basically doesn't matter long-term for home users (also energy subsidies).
The extra 100W of cooling load on the Aircon will easily add up over a year. Not only you have to pay for the extra 100W every hour, now you have to pay for your AC to get it out of your room. The 3D chips are a no brainer, and a fantastic value for money.
I really love the energy price graphs! Would love to see this more often for gpus too, since as a brit it's defo becoming more of a concern when looking at hardware and nobody does real world data of actual power usage
I did hope to see the 13700K or 13900K there, would have been quite shocking :O
Hey you stole my username
@@Psythik 😯 Psythix's unite! The important question is has anyone called you "fish sticks" on voice chat because they don't know how to pronounce it?
Fellow Brit here and I completely disagree, the cost of electricity is beyond negligible. Even using their price of 42p a kw if £22 a year extra running costs is enough to convince you then you shouldn’t be gaming on a pc.
@@oxfordsparky sure if you take a single component by itself it might be a small figure, but even then if you're paying even £10 a year for a 2fps increase is there point in that extra cost? No. But without performance per watt info it's all speculation
I just got this cpu for my first build like 20 days ago. im pretty happy to see this.
Im curious to see how true this holds up when the drivers mature. Also, with an all rdna3 system. Seems like the performance gains are entirely driven by how the 3d cache is implemented.
Thank you for mentioning performance per watt. With how performant these chips are it's now become a very important factor in my purchasing decisions.
yea the analysis with performance per watt is very good. I think he should have mentioned how you also wouldn't need as beefy a cooler for the 7800X3d vs other top performing chips. That's means a smaller PC and/or more quite PC.
Power companies. Continuously motivating us to make better choices. It's for the environment, m'kay?
@@ThatGoat or not trying to heat the house that im trying to cool
I don't get why they even show it in a review of gaming CPU, 15$ difference in a year is nothing. Is it not normal in USA to tip delivery driver 5-7$ on each order? So like don't tip 2 times a year and you are done.
They still messed it up tho :/
No idle power consumption.
What amazes me the most is that power draw. My 5800x3d draws ~55w which is really nice in my quite small and compromized matx.....they managed to cut out 15W! from that with more performance. Now I seriously concider a SSF build as now any low profile cooler will do very well and the options opens up a lot while still having a quiet mashine.
Pablo Coil-Oh is a closer pronuntiation. Great vid btw
Thanks to you guys I had finally choose platform for my PC.
The main takeaway from this video is that the word is not spelled as Segway but as Segue

They need to show more CPU bound games when showcasing anything with x3d architecture.
Something like DCS, MSFS, or heck even Arma Reforger. X3d does wonders for sim games so its very important we see that, esspecially sense theres communities that need to know that information.
Like me, as I was contemplating on whether or not on upgrading to an AM5 platform for Arma 3/Reforger.
7:08 I love how Adam’s in this bit because back in the first AMD extreme tech upgrade video he really wanted a 3DVcache CPU but missed out on the timing
I will be involuntarily dreaming of Rabid Adam for years to come.
The performance of basically every mid to high end CPU is so good, the choice of CPU almost doesn't matter for most consumers. For the more hardcore audience, it's best to pick one that is more tailored to your preferred games. You really can't go wrong though.
As someone who really wants the stuff they buy for their pc to last, I’m always looking to get the absolute best I can for the price I get it at.
this is the real answer
it really depends what you are looking for.
The performance is good today for most of them indeed. But as Linus and others have said, buying a better CPU today helps you not have to upgrade it (along with mobo and potentially RAM) when you upgrade your GPU in the future, especially with higher-end GPUs.
@@GiorgosKoukoubagia yep I'd argue AM5 itself is a good investment, regardless of the CPU you choose. Should be supported for many years to come. That's why I bought a Godlike board and 7950X3D. Pricy, but I'm set for a long time.
Do nada o cara lançou um Paulo Coelho, Brabo! 😂😅
All of a sudden you mentioned Paulo Coelho, Awesome!
3:17 I loled at the Paulo Coheelo
Live in the UK. Those cost of ownership metrics really frigging matter. Been waiting for this type of analysis for a while now and am so happy to finally see it. I would MUCH rather give up 5/10% performance for, in this case, a new component to save significantly on cost of ownership. :)
This is going to be huge for me, i live in Alaska and energy is actually pretty cheap cause of hydro, but nobody has A/C so my room gets toasty quickly in summer with a 300+ watt system running for long sessions. i was thinking of getting a 13900k, but that would literally have doubled my wattage output into my room. this new chip if its running at 100 watts which is the same or less then my ancient amd FX 8core chip i have now. holy cow im going to be going from 32nm to 5nm tech, this is going to be a massive jump. im holding off though for at least one reviewer to use it in Arma 3 and DCS and compare it to intel as those are my most played games. exshily in arma 3 intel has always had a huge lead over amd just because of optimization and single thread reasons. but that dosnt matter if it comes at 200+ watts more cost.
Definitely relevent these days. Features like Radeon Chill where it limits your FPS while you're idling in games can actually save you very noticible sums of money, as well as buying efficient hardware. I miss the days where you didn't have to consider these things but here we are..!
7800X3D is a no-brainer in the UK. Price difference will pay for itself in lower energy costs.
Another really cool thing about 7800X3D being so efficient is probably if they decide to put it into mobile platforms. I can imagine 20 watt desktop replacement for field work processing.
Can't wait for Ryzen HX3D series mobile processor (if AMD want to)
They would invariably have to stack a _monolithic_ die with 3D V-Cache first before it would be attractive to mobile use. Desktop Ryzen 7000 CPUs will consume 20+ watts in idle, and almost nothing of that is due to the cores (which might take 0.6 W).
7800x3d on mobile will be hella efficient to gaming but very inefficient when idling, so battery life will still be poor
But would you see the advantages since notebooks get lower power GPUs? You can't generally upgrade the GPU in a notebook, so you are more likely to be GPU bound and waste the CPU horsepower, right?
Follow JIesus and you will not be ashamed.dawdawda
nice video man. very well displayed, good info. easy to digest.
I used intel best, i7 14700k CPU vs AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, AMD is more efficient and better, trust me, the videos wrong.
it would be so cool if the hardware youtubers would include a World of Warcraft benchmark. WoW benefits like crazy from these X3D chips. I just went from a 3900X to a 5800X3D and I almost doubled my framerate in raids and BGs
Idk what is does, but Escape from Tarkov seems to heavily benefit from the increased cache in the 5800x3d, and the whole community went crazy over the massive performance increases over any other chip on the market, even with older 10 series cards. I can only imagine how big of a jump this is in games like that
Oh Boi we're not ready...
same thing for Star Citizen, it love X3D chips. glad AMD are coming through for us again!
AI computations benefit the most from having a bigger cache (see how massive the gains are on the graphs for Warhammer 3), I've never played Tarkov but I guess there is some heavy and possibly non optimized ai logic running in the background.
@@frale_2392 you can play tarkov on 4K with this chip and in good quality, i'm already running tarkov on 4K high, fsr on ultra quality with a 5800X3D and i have stable 130 fps. the new 7800x3D is gonna be a monster too,
clueless, tarkov is dead because of the cheaters
In MSFS it doesn't really matter which so far released 40 -series GPU you run - but from x3D you get 10-20% more fps lol So instead of 50 you get 55-60 - which is a lot.
Man, it's crazy how basically every graph was showing triple digit fps across the board... Doesn't seem that long ago when these types of graphs were in the 60-90 fps range. 😅
Just did my upgrade.
7800X3D, B650-Plus, 32GB DDR5 6000, and a 6950XT (should have made the jump to 7900XT but whatever). Now, that's component prices I wasn't prepared for, but coming from a i7-6700K and 1080, it was about time, although the old i7 and 1080 still hang.
Damn bro great upgrade
i got literally the same upgrade from my old system to the new one. besides the new GPU. how does it feel compared to your old rig ?
@@razgarorIn general, not much as changed. Gaming, a leap forward, obviously, especially in newer titles like Dartide that gobble VRAM and CPU.
Mainly because I use 3440x1440 34'' monitor, the 1080 was getting destroyed, then the CPU lagged bebind. I was getting 40%, 60% GPU utilisation with the 6950XT, so that needed to change.
In some games, the old stuff worked perfectly well (Back For Blood, old titles...), with some visual reductions. I think if you game in 1080p, you can probably get away with a system as old as mine for a while. Less VRAM, easier on the GPU...A cheaper GPU, like a 6700, as long as you have decent amount of VRAM, imo.
Oh and I've switched to two NVME drives (!TB, 4TB). But really, I had a 500TB ssd, 2TB NVME, and a 2TB HDD, and yes, it's faster, but diminishing returns.
All in all, I could have kept the old system. If you're short on cash, second hand will save you a lot because all that shit is expensive. And as I said, my old pc still works fine and could still game OK. Besides, not many exciting things on the horizon. It's a bad time for gamers.
This is the CPU going into my first build. Got the monitor just for the pc and all its hardware next 😬😅
The other Factorio story that's not just relevant for the future: if you're into building mega-bases, then you will eventually get less and less updates per second. I've been there with my Intel 9900K. And this is a heavily optimized game. With the 7800x3d I could just continue where I left, which is pretty sweet.
It's amazing that I can still build very decently sized bases on my almost 5 year old mobile and overheating i7-8750H.
@@cvbattum Do you build your bases optimising UPS, like compressing your belts, mining directly to train wagons and so on?
I really loved seeing the pricing for using the chips in California prices. I don't live there, but I super appreciate the graphs, as I find that incredibly important when choosing between the options and saying "well I have the money, so I might as well get the more expensive chip... right?"
A 7950X3D costs around 300-350 millirentmonths.
im happy that linus tech has been recover this where I learn how to deal on components and being knowledgeable on pc tech
Great topic to pick up. I think your focus on energy consumption is definitely worth the talk as well. Considering worldwide energy shortage and consumption as well as global sustainability everyone talking about tech should be talking about effeciencies as well. You could multiply the lowered power consumption to an estimate amount of PC owners and then comparing that result to relevant energy/CO2 savings..
Anyway seems like I'm gonna look at a B650/7800X3D build rather than a 13600K/Z790 one.. 👌🏻
I never thought I would see a 5800x3d out perform a 13900k in any game 😮
now consider how much less power it draws = how much less heat it puts out into your cooling system = how much more graphic card will have headroom (may even be able to get more from Video card due to better thermals!
@@air21511 I know. It's painful to watch.
That is of course gaming but in other operations of the PC the 13900k will do better but the reality is the difference in power draw and the real world performance over all for most everyone the amd is still the better overall.
@@jamesmackinlay4477 well yeah - hence “the best gaming cpu” 😄😘
I honestly think that long term review of these chips, future forecasting in terms of energy consumption and compatibility need to be an integral part of these reviews. Most people aren't building a new rig every year.
Just ordered it, can’t wait to start my new build
Dude is a great seller. You stare at a graph that shows you barely any differences, and he still manages to use words like "win" and "lead" to shine some light on single products. No one can sell me, that you will notice 10 % gains at 200+ FPS.
The only thing I learned from this video today was that It's segue @0:53 And not Segway.
This is why i wait for an entire line of products to be released/reviewed before deciding on a purchase. I’m on a 5800X right now. No need to upgrade my PC right now other than a video card, but it’s nice to know where things are headed. I built it in 2021, so it has a lot of life left in it.
will def try this with my 7800x3d and h170i (triple fan 420mm rad aio)
Excellent review! Thanks
Great contextual content, keep calling out all companies in the space for their "smoke and mirrors" PR BS. Good and clean data and info ❤
It's a straight up beast. Exactly what I expected, really a BIS chip and worth the wait for AM5 platform, especially after some time for boards and memory to get cheaper too.
Definitely amazing at certain games where it use extra cache for it's max potential like in WoW and other. Very nice!
I am doing my very first pc build and I have a 7800x3d on the way with a 4090😊. I’m so freekin excited!!!!

Acheeeei hahaha
Glad to see power efficiency and TCO making it into these calculations.
I put my hamster in a sock and slammed it against the furniture.
I always hear that the extra V-Cache does not provide a benefit to some workloads (mainly productivity).
But its never apples to apples compared on the same clockspeeds.
Maybe the extra v-cache does help, just not enough to make up for the clockspeed difference.
This could mean that a v-cache CPU with clockspeed comparable to its non-v-cache variants could be superior in all workloads. Maybe it just needs time to mature and fix the issues which currently hamper its performance.
Your pc's are really cool and I really like your videos!
would love to see some software improvements that would better assign the cores on the 7950X3D to appropriate workloads to close the gap
You can deactivate the cores manually but u still paid 200% more for the same Chip then
The 7950X3D basically becomes a 7800X3D when you turn off half the cores in the BIOS. Hopefully they fix it with software updates so it's always like that without turning off half of it.
You mean processor affinity..? Cause that's been a native windows feature for some time now.
Interesting
I think the reason the 7900X3D performed so badly with dual CCD in Factorio, is because game mode probably didn't kick in for the benchmark. And as such the CPU probably didn't recognize it as a game, which would have parked the non v-cache CCD.
No, it's because it has 2 CCD's, each with 6 cores on them. So When one CCD is shut down in favor of the cache, it essentially becomes a 6-core CPU with V-Cache.
@@PQED well, yes.. But to determine when it should switch to v-cache only ccd, it relies on windows game mode to determine if a game is running. If game mode doesn't trigger, it won't know which ccd to prioritize. And my guess is that the fsctorio benchmark doesn't trigger game mode as the benchmark doesn't seem to run like the game normally.
@@parasitex I'm aware of how unreliable (and incompatible) Game Bar is, and that's why it's ridiculous to employ it in this fashion.
My 7800x 3D is on its way, ordered this morning 😊 I’m really glad that I waited.
The more I learn about the new X3D Chips, the happier I am with my decission to get the 5800X3D for my new system.
100% agree about the delayed launch of a better cheaper product.
If there is a defence it’s this, the 7950x3d performing worse seems to be a software issue (firmware, drivers, or OS). It should be best of both worlds rather than worst of both worlds.
I’m sure original expectation was best of both worlds, and they didn’t adjust their plan when it didn’t pan out that way. Maybe theirs firmware updates in future.
Yea really hoping they improve the schedular or the parking some how for the people who have the 7950x3d that wanna use it for production and also gaming.
Yeah if they get the scheduler perfect it will be the ideal CPU for streamers or people who game and work on the same pc
@@achillesa5894 Yea currently with some games i play there are scheduling issues unfortunately where the cpu doesnt fully utilize the 3d cache by about 30-50% so it can be like a 20-40 fps loss which really sucks -.-
They delayed it to sell people more 7950X's as they new that the 7800X3D would be *THE CHIP* to go to for most people.
The 7950X relies on Windows game bar to schedule itself so good luck...
@@griffin1366 i know how it works lol ive got one. A lot of people chose the 7950x3d for productivity and gaming purposes....
Hi Linus,
The power usage under load is really useful but would you consider adding the power usage of the system when idling to have an even better understanding of the platform efficiency?
Just bought a sealed in retail box 7800X3D for $340 from local ad about a month ago. Then found another 7800X3D listed for $300 new but with no box. I snagged it for $260 for my son. I was only shopping for a used 7600 but the extra $100 was worth it. First time my kid has the same PC spec as me CPU/MB/RAM wise at least.
That power usage chart hits home. I run my $555 7950x at full tilt on a 360mm AIO encoding at least 5+ hours daily, converting 2+ 4K discs to h265. I wish someone would crunch those numbers between 7950x and 7950x3d but as far as I know it’s heavily core frequency based so I’d probably not save too much power since it’s running longer.
Every last 100mhz above 4000 mhz is less power efficient on AMD 7000 cpu's. In fact allcore 4900-5500 mhz doubles the power usage, 16 all core at 4000-slightly higher can cruch it with 65watt (88 watt true consumption).
A 7950x tuned with exactly the mhz numbers of 7950x3d, will use similar amount of power, but alas amd marketings it differently, plus is more protective of the 3d models cause of 3d cache, and the 3d cache makes it perform better no matter the lower clock speeds, so they dont loose in benchmarkts.
@@Matti6950Actually, this is almost 100% true, but not quite. The R9 7950X3D uses slightly better binned CCD's than the vanilla 7950X, meaning the former's still slightly more efficient at the same clock-speed (needs less voltage to get there). Think the difference between Threadripper vs normal mainstream Ryzen die/CCD bin quality in previous generations, and it's much the same as this. Aka it's nothing dramatic, but it IS there. 🤷
Had on my AM4 board 2700x, now rocking the 5800x3d. And 32GB 3200mhz RAM.
Thank you AMD. 🙏
bro whats your gpu atm?
@@omargosh6412 Its the 4070 TI.
Another perk of 3D V Cache is cost. The added cache is done in a cheaper node instead of the latest and greatest, as chip fabs have seen diminishing return on memory density when reducing the node, unlike on processing cores where smaller nodes still return gains in efficiency and power per area. This V cache setup allows higher yields AND more memory per dollar. Thanks to the High Yield channel, I learn a ton of these grittier details over there!
The problem with the 7900x3D and 7950x3D simply need microsoft to fix windows so that it can run the games on the 3D cache CCD, much like they had to do with intel's P cores vs E cores.
Windows fix it's scheduler and memory management?
BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA😂
@@FLMKane Yeah, a really silly request 🤣
Im a 5950x owner, but don’t you just point microsoft xbox game bar to see a program as a game, then the games runs on the cached chiplet?
it's been 2 months and it still isn't fixed safe to say it will never get fixed.
5800X3D (recently upgraded from 3900X) still a great CPU currently paired with my RX 6800 upgraded from 1080ti, waiting for prices to drop for current gen GPUs.
The cpu we were anticipating and waiting for to see the results after seeing the 7950X3D and know how the 5800X3D performs
For the performance graphs I would love for them to be color coded so like the product that is being reviewed have a different color to differentiate from the others
I'd also like them to highlight the product currently under review to easily pick out its position.
I really liked this video. It could save me a couple hundred bucks. But do I buy now or wait for the 8000 series release? Any tips on when CPU prices might potentially drop?
I have 2 monitors and do gaming/streaming and light 3d modeling. 13600k has had no issues and no lag, super quick. I feel like most modern cpus are all overkill for 95% of users.
I really would like to see an improvement with your charts, especially if there are so many. It's hard to focus on them without pausing the video a lot. Sometimes low values are better, sometimes high values are better, nearly every time the order of the CPUs changes, the spacing between the lines is different each time. The transitions between the charts/graphs could be better I think. I don't know how you could achieve that because I am not a layout designer but you definitely could do something here. That would be great!
