The performance race continues, with the latest leaked AMD review guide showing the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D being 5-6% faster than the Intel Core i9-13900K.
leaked confidential data HD technology (opens in a new tab) And by graphics card (opens in a new tab), showing the performance of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D flagship Zen4 model with extended L3 cache compared to Intel’s 13th generation processors. According to the above data, the game speed of 7950X3D in games such as “Assassin’s Creed: Hall of Heroes”, “Borderland 3”, “Cyberpunk 2077”, “Dust 5” and other games based on 1080p resolution has increased by 5.6%.
AMD tested the Ryzen 9 7950X3D using two graphics cards, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and the Nvidia RTX 4090, both systems equipped with two 16GB DDR5-6000 memory. With the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the difference between the two processors is 5.6%. This gap increased to 6% when using the Nvidia RTX 4090.
The new AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 3D model was also compared to the original model 7950X without additional cache, and the test found that the new 3D V-Cache processor was 16% faster than the original.
AMD is using world-class bait, but will buyers take the bait?
Compared to Team Blue’s current lineup, Team Red is heating things up by offering what appears to be the best performing AMD processor yet. The crux of the matter, however, is whether gamers are willing to pay more for the performance boost.
Currently, Ryzen 9 7950X3D is Priced at $699 As of launch, the Core i9-13900K will cost around $589 (including amazon (opens in a new tab) Currently billing $569.99). That’s a pretty big cost gap. And, while there’s a significant performance improvement, it’s hard to justify paying over $100 more for a roughly 6% difference.
It’s no secret that PC gaming hasn’t even quite caught up to the previous generation’s specs, let alone anything this generation has to offer.Plus, for gamers, getting the latest processor really means Prevent Performance Bottlenecks Unless you’re playing a real-time strategy game. As for creatives and workers, cheaper CPUs are just fine.
We’ll see if the sales figures prove that buyers will invest in any performance improvements, or if those generous pockets are limited.
