Before joining TRG she was the Hardware Editor for sister publication GamesRadar+ and she has also been PC Guide's Hardware Specialist. I might do a quick 'n' dirty scan using a cut down set of Y-Cruncher or maybe give CoreCycler a go as I can cut that down easily in time to whatever is most efficient and then do the longer Y-Cruncher runs.

7900X3D release date - confirmed - PC Guide Ryzen 9 7900X3D release date - confirmed - PC Guide

ALL SYSTEMS configured with an open air test bench, Windows 11, AMD Smart Access Memory technology ON, Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) OFF.Overall, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D is an impressive processor for the money which is definitely geared more toward gaming than productivity or creativity tasks. I purchased the RAM from someone here, so I know it was working perfectly fine in their system and naturally dived into the fact that the RAM might have an issue as everything was new.

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D Twelve Core 5.60GHz (Socket AM5 - OcUK

Skill DDR5-6000C30 (F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5N) with AMD EXPO™; ALL SYSTEMS configured with NXZT Kraken X63, open air test bench, GeForce 4090, Windows 11, PCIe Resizable Base Address Register (“ReBAR”) ON, Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) OFF.What causes the latency issue in the performance bottleneck is not running games on multiple CCD's, its moving workload between CCD's, Windows loves to do that, i cannot just recognise that work is being done on a core and just leave it be, it loves to move it, and then move it again. Ryzen 1 was the same, early issues that were nearly all sorted by the time the 2*** Ryzens came out. Still, with the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, we're still talking about an absolute powerhouse of a CPU, with framerates well above 100fps in demanding games, and upwards of 400fps in tamer titles. Pretty sure for this benchmark they forgot/didn't tell Xbox game bar that Factorio is a game so it was running on the wrong CCD. So am I right in saying that the 7900X3D is 12 cores, but in games it will utilize cores assigned with X3DVcache?

It’s two and I’ve seen, during the very limited gaming I’ve been able to do, games are on the cache cores with windows and other apps on the none cache. Ultimately, the reduced memory latency means that you're getting a chip that runs cooler, draws less power, and performs better thanks to the addition of the second generation of AMD's V-cache. She has also contributed hardware content to the likes of Trusted Reviews, The Metro, Expert Reviews, and Android Central.I've also been using the machine as my main computer for both work and play and have racked up dozens of hours word processing as well as with media playback. Going for an Intel alternative or an AM4 chip like the 5800X3D would be significantly cheaper overall. I did loosen it slightly as a trial, but absolutely no change what-so-ever in temps which is mid 30's in the BIOS (windows has crept up at idle with HW Info etc running to 45-48 most of the time for Tctl, but the CCDs themselves are quite cool and the ASUS socket temp probe is still in the 30's. When AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology is paired with AMD Ryzen 7000X3D Series processors, you get a huge game performance boost1,2.

Please note the above quotation is an indicative cost and actual monthly payments may vary by +/- 2p per month. Then some benchmarks to get a baseline and off I go for the next week or so into the dialling in stages. Armed with a significantly lower TDP than the rest of the current AMD Zen 4 lineup, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D packs in 12 cores and 24 threads on a 120W TDP with a base clock speed of 4. But a lot will depend on performance, especially given the ongoing battle between Zen 4 and Intel’s Raptor Lake processors. This is AMD’s innovative stacked cache technology, that allows the X3D CPU models greater access to cached memory.Aleksha McLoughlin is the Hardware Editor for TechRadar Gaming and oversees all hardware coverage for the site.

The Ryzen 9 7950X3D has a whopping 144MB of stacked cache, priming this processor for high-end gaming and content creation. Where the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D falls behind the Intel Core i9-13900K and the 7950X3D in terms of the productivity benchmarks, the gap is greatly closed with the raw gaming performance.
