AMD promises some serious performance gains with its next-gen Ryzen 7000X3D processors. The chipmaker announced three V-Cache chips based on the Zen 4 core architecture with up to 16 cores and 32 threads. The stacked 3D cache size is the same as last-gen, but the boost clocks have been raised to 5.7GHz. Overclocking remains limited, and the base TDP has been raised to 120W.
| Model | Cores/Threads | Boost / Base Frequency | Total Cache | TDP |
| AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D | 16C/32T | Up to 5.7 GHz / 4.2 GHz | 144MB | 120W |
| AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 12C/24T | Up to 5.6 GHz / 4.4 GHz | 140MB | 120W |
| AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 8C/16T | Up to 5.0 GHz / TBD | 104MB | 120W |
The octa-core Ryzen 7 7800X3D is up to 30% faster than the 5800X3D with a minimum lead of 21% over the last-gen part. On average, it holds a lead of 24% over its predecessor at 1080p, using the “High” image quality preset.
The gaming performance of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is something to behold. Per official first-party benchmarks, it outperforms the Intel Core i9-13900K by up to 24%. The deltas will vary from title to title, but overall, we can expect a lead of 15-20% over the 13900K.
