Thanks to the additional cache, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D wins the title of fastest gaming CPU by a wide margin over the Core i9-13900KS and Ryzen 9 7950X. Instead of bluntly turning up the power consumption, AMD has chosen a smart way to increase performance with 3D V-Cache. As a result, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D with low TDP works more efficiently than the other high-end CPUs, but has to take a back seat in...
Very good90/100
- Gaming performance
- Application performance
- Efficiency
- Price
- not all games benefit from the 3D V-Cache
- Slightly slower in applications than the 7950X
Without ratingNo rating
- Currently the highest gaming performance in the test field
- Very high application performance
- remarkably efficient
- Quite high temperature under full application load (approx. 90 degrees; does not apply to games)
It was predictable that AMD would take back the performance crown from Intel with the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. However, it is still impressive to see in our final test with how much efficiency the new Ryzen CPU achieves this. Achieving a slightly higher gaming performance with only about half the power consumption compared to the Core i9 13900K is a remarkable claim that Intel should have to nibble on for...
