Although the game performance is not comparable to Ryzen 7950X3D, but compared to the game performance per yuan, this is definitely a new choice for the ultimate game processor. AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, with the 3D V-Cache super-large 96MB L3 cache, can improve the performance of 1080p games by 15.7%, but stacking the cache on the core also makes the processor clock rate slightly lower , Multi-core performance is slightly reduced, but it can be exchanged for better gaming and power consumption performance.
AMD 3D V-Cache best deal game processor Ryzen 7 7800X3D
A while ago, the high-core 3D V-Cache processors AMD Ryzen 7950X3D and 7900X3D have been launched. This time, the 8-core Ryzen 7 7800X3D is added. Through the “3D V-Cache” packaging technology, 64MB L3 chips are stacked on the core chip CCX. to enhance 1080p gaming performance.
Ryzen 7 7800X3D has 8 cores, 16 execution threads, up to 5.0GHz Boost clock, and increases TDP to 120W, priced at $449 in US dollars. Compared with the 7700X with the same core specifications, the main reason is that the clock frequency is reduced and the TDP is increased, but the relative price is also $50 more. However, the TjMax of the 7800X3D is set at 89°C, which is lower than the 95°C of the general X processor.
The 7800X3D processor is expected to be released at 9:00 pm on April 6. The price in Taiwan may be between 7700X and 7900X, but if the price is too high, it will be difficult for 1080p gamers to pay.

Windows Game Mode, 3D V-Cache optimization and PPM exclusive driver update
For the Ryzen 7950X3D and 7900X3D with two independent CCX configurations, in addition to installing the latest chipset driver, it is also necessary to match the Game Mode mode enabled by Windows default, so that the game can first use the CCX with 3D V-Cache to accelerate performance .
However, if the 7800X3D is only equipped with a single CCX, there is no need to additionally schedule cores through the system and drivers, but the AMD PPM Provisioning File Driver and AMD 3D-Vacche Performance Optimizer Driver functions will be included when the chip driver is installed. Therefore, when players buy a Ryzen 7000X3D processor, in addition to upgrading the motherboard BIOS, they also need to install the latest driver chips to fully utilize the performance of the processor.

11+4 AAA e-sports games for processor performance test
11 AAA gamesPerformance test, the entry-level “F1® 22” racing game, the shooting game “Gears of War 5”, the adventurous “Tomb Raider: Shadow”, “Horizon: Waiting for Dawn”, and the performance-heavy “Borderlands 3”, “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Age”, as well as games such as “Polar Trenches 6”, “Marvel Interstellar Attack Team”, “Watch Dogs: Liberty Legion” and “Device 2077” that support ray pursuit.
In addition, the “Microsoft Flight Simulator”, which is heavy on CPU performance, is specially added. The tests are all conducted at 1080p resolution and the game’s highest default settings for the In Game Benchmark test, and the DLSS and FSR acceleration functions are turned off.
Among the 11 games, the 7800X3D achieved an average of 205.8 FPS, a 15.7% improvement in game performance compared to the 7700X, and only -4.3% behind the 7950X3D.
↑ Average of 11 games, the higher the FPS, the better.
↑ 11 game tests, the higher the FPS, the better.
E-sports games focus on the tactical and technical competition between players and teams, so they don’t have high requirements for the image quality of the game. This also allows such games to have a very high average FPS performance on high-end CPUs and GPUs, especially in 1080p resolution. Under high speed, the improvement of CPU performance and clock can increase the FPS performance of the game.
7800X3D has 782.66 FPS in “CS:GO”, 783 FPS on average in R6 games, and 375 FPS in “League of Legends”. The controller does not get better performance in games such as “CS:GO” and “League of Legends”.
↑ E-sports game test, the higher the FPS, the better.
AMD Ryzen 9 7800X3D processor temperature and power consumption test
AMD specifically mentions this generation of 7000X3D processors, because the addition of 3D-Vcache adjusts the clock frequency and reduces it to 120W TDP, and optimizes the V/F curve of the processor, which also makes the temperature and power consumption of 7800X3D better than 7700X. The test uniformly uses 360mm AIO, fan and water pump at full speed setting, and compares AIDA64 CPU, FPU and Cinebench R23 burn-in respectively.
AIDA64 CPU stress test, 7800X3D full-core 5.0GHz pressure at 70.1°C, FPU test 4.21GHz, 68.9°C, Cinebench R23 test 4.78GHz, 84.9°C. Due to the low preset TjMax and 3D-Vcache optimization, the temperature of 7800X3D is relatively better suppressed.
↑ Temperature test.
The clock frequency of 7800X3D stress test is lower than that of 7700X, but it has lower temperature and power consumption performance. AIDA64 CPU test is only 68.8W, FPU 85.1W, Cinebench R23 94.7W power consumption performance; calculated by Cinebench R23, 7800X3D Compared with 7700X, it saves 34% power consumption and has 41% higher performance per watt.
↑ Power consumption test.
Summarize
AMD Ryzen 7800X3D has a 15.7% improvement in game performance. Although it cannot match Ryzen 7950X3D, it also beats i9-13900K by about 15.2%. Moreover, the 7800X3D can save 34% power consumption under the same 8 cores, and the performance per watt has increased by 41%, but the multi-core, single-core, and overall performance of the computer have dropped by about -7%.
Although 7800X3D has a higher game performance per dollar ratio than 7700X and 7950X3D, according to the test data conversion 7800X3D: 0.458; 7700X: 0.445; It can be said to be quite close.
Meaning it’s hard to attract 1080p gamers if the price of the Ryzen 7800X3D isn’t a bargain. After all, 3D V-Cache increases the L3 cache capacity, but general applications cannot get performance improvement. Although 1080p games can get a good performance upgrade, and the improvement of 2K QHD resolution is quite challenging for games, but 4K UHD resolution The performance difference is negligible.
The 7800X3D will be released on the night of 4/6 after the ban is lifted, priced at $449 in US dollars, and the price in Taiwan should be between 7700X and 7900X, which is about 15,000 yuan. It would be embarrassing if the price is too high. After all, how much budget are you willing to spend on the processor for game performance?
