Online benchmark databases are starting to list AMD’s highly anticipated gaming Processor, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D “Zen 4,” which launches in early April. With 64 MB of 3D Vertical Cache, the 8-core/16-thread processor’s L3 cache grows to an astonishing 96 MB, bringing the overall cache size to 104 MB. The chip was examined using an MSI MEG X670E Ace motherboard, according to the SiSoftware SANDRA online database. Using 527.56 GIPS dhrystone INT, 552.04 GIPS dhrystone long, 316 GFLOP/s single-precision floating point, and 264.71 GFLOP/s double-precision floating point, it achieved a score of 395.07 GOPS.

The result places it between its fellow 8-core “Zen 4” contemporaries, the 7700X and 7700, but about 37% quicker than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Similar to its predecessor, the 7800X3D is anticipated to perform similarly to or slightly worse than the 7700X in workloads that depend on frequency or IPC but excel in applications that benefit from cache, like gaming. The 5800X3D, its predecessor, defeated the i9-12900K, the fastest Intel processor at the time, therefore the 7800X3D has its work cut out for it in terms of competing against the i9-13900K in gaming.
