Review Zen4 3D review thread

[Hitman928]

Thread to focus on Zen4 3D cache CPUs.

New gaming king (as most expected), though the 2 CCD 7950x3d does seem to have issues with some games, more than I would expect of it getting stuck on the "wrong" CCD. I imagine it will get cleared up with subsequent updates but we'll see. Simulated 7800X3D showed no such issues and overall has the gaming lead (real product might be slightly slower though depending on in game clocks).

Computerbase also has the 7950x3d as the gaming champ. They (and TPU) also show that efficiency while gaming is extremely good.

Ryzen 9 7950X3D im Test gegen 5800X3D und 13900K(S)

Zen 4 3D ist da. Im Test erweist sich AMDs Ryzen 9 7950X3D gegen 7950X, 5800X3D und Core i9-13900K(S) als schnell und effizient.

Just to toot my own horn a little, it landed spot on with my prediction of fastest gaming CPU but not significantly so over a 13900k on average, but with much higher efficiency.

Additional reviews, will add more later.

Zen 4 3D looks to not only be the fastest for racing sims, but more importantly, the smoothest.

Zen 4 3D looks to not only be the fastest for racing sims, but more importantly, the smoothest.

But what about the "AMD dip"?

 

[Mopetar]

But what about the "AMD dip"?

Must have had the chart upside down. Looks more like an AMD bump.

 

[NTMBK]

What Intel needs is break and a clean sheet design. Focus on efficiency first and performance will follow.

Do you want Bulldozer? Because that's how you get Bulldozer

Still waiting for the 7800X3D to launch.

Meanwhile, the G.Skill DDR5-6000 CL32 memory I purchased seems to be Hynix chips judging from the code above the barcode: 0T48ARS821M. It's also dropped an additional $4 since I purchased to $123.99. F5-6000J3238F16GX2-FX5

Same, I assembled all my parts that are not currently in use yesterday. I AM READY!!!11!!1!

My 2x16GB 6000C30 kit was marked S820M, my new 2x32GB 6000C30 kit is marked S820A, for hynix M and hynix A die respectively. Looks like yours is M die.

I'd guess the 820 vs 821 refers to binning

Decided to do some benchmark comparisons between my system and a reviewer's system with similar specs. I wanted an apples-to-apples comparison to see where my system stacks up. TechSpot reviewed the 7950X3D with an RTX 4090. The list of games they tested also noted the settings they used. I was able to use the same settings in three of those games: Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The OS I'm on is Windows 11 22H2.

My system is moderately overclocked while theirs is not. My 7950X3D is using a BCLK increase of 102MHz with PBO while my memory is running at 6200 with tweaked timings. These are my settings output from the BIOS:

My 4090 is an MSI Gaming Trio with the 520W MSI Suprim X BIOS. My everyday overclocks on the 4090 average the following (boost clocks shown):

First up I ran Cyberpunk 2077 with the same settings as TechSpot. 1920x1080 with the Ultra Preset as the base then turning DLSS and FidelityFX off.

TechSpot results:


Horizon Zero Dawn at 1920x1080 with the Favor Quality Preset.

TechSpot results:


Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1920x1080 Highest preset with DLSS and FidelityFX off.

[Joe NYC]

Those DDR5-8000 speeds on Raptor Lake, that some people were taking for granted? The guy who is pretty much an authority on memory overclocking says it is impossible to have a stable build with Raptor Lake and DDR5-8000

 

[Kocicak]

... says it is impossible to have a stable build with Raptor Lake and DDR5-8000

Is not this speed way beyond the spec? Does it matter in any meaningful way?

 

[Joe NYC]

Is not this speed way beyond the spec? Does it matter in any meaningful way?

Some people are making an argument that Raptor Lake is faster than Zen 4, Zen 4 V-Cache and the only thing stopping Raptor Lake from being shown as the fastest processor is the evil reviewers who refuse to test it with DDR5-8000.

 

[KompuKare]

Some people are making an argument that Raptor Lake is faster than Zen 4, Zen 4 V-Cache and the only thing stopping Raptor Lake from being shown as the fastest processor is the evil reviewers who refuse to test it with DDR5-8000.

I guess those same people also expect reviewers to do LN2 suicide runs and show those scores as the norm!

 

[igor_kavinski]

Too long to watch. What was the max memory speed he achieved?

 

[Ranulf]

Wow, 10mins in and Buildzoid sounds a bit burned out on memory testing. Just a bit... heh.


From him in the video comments:

"8 motherboards 3 CPUs 3 Hynix A-die memory kits Absolute hell with every single combination if you decide to push them. "

 

[Kocicak]

I noticed that HWUB recently tested some CPUs with RAM kits tweaked to Buildzoid supplied settings. Are these settings fool proof, and will they work even on mediocre kit like this: KF560C36BBEK2-32 ?

 

[igor_kavinski]

3 CPUs 3 Hynix A-die memory kits

Only 3 of each? Come on Buildzoid, you can do better than that! Can't call it quits after just 3 of those.

 

[Joe NYC]

Too long to watch. What was the max memory speed he achieved?

8000 never passes a stress test, but can sometimes boot and do a quick bench. The reviewer tried to find alignment of the stars, tweaking every variable including the heatsink pressure, motherboards, RAM kits, but never found one that was stable enough to complete stress tests.

7600 similar to 8000, just slightly better.

He did not get into 7200, but that one seems achievable based on various review web sites able to run full suite of tests. 7200 seems like an upper limit for a system that is reasonably stable.

7200 is a number I've seen a lot but I've seen more at lower but not to lower speeds. DDR5 will have one of the shortest DDR periods if I'm not mistaken. It became available in 2021 to the masses and ddr6 will come out in 2026. 5 years vs the 7 years of ddr4. DDR3 became available in 2008 but came out the year before, 6 or 7 years. DDr6 is a big change compared to ddr5 much like ddr5 to ddr4.

By 2026, we will be well on the way of memory moving into CPU MCM package. The company (other than Apple, between Intel and AMD) that will be first to bring it to mass market cost effectively will be the big winner on client. And server also, using HBM.

By 2026, we will be well on the way of memory moving into CPU MCM package. The company (other than Apple, between Intel and AMD) that will be first to bring it to mass market cost effectively will be the big winner on client. And server also, using HBM.

Like Lisa Su said during her recent talk, MCM package is the new motherboard...

You could have led with AMD here. Gunslinger is still trying to get the lid on the pot at Intel.

Those DDR5-8000 speeds on Raptor Lake, that some people were taking for granted? The guy who is pretty much an authority on memory overclocking says it is impossible to have a stable build with Raptor Lake and DDR5-8000

No one should have been taking seriously any of the partisan contentions about RPL chips easily achieving high speed overclocks on most chips. No one should have seriously considered their thoughts about RPL being unfairly handicapped if not tested with such "easily" achieved overclocks. Lastly no one should believe there is an army of bad reviewers out there taking advantage of the memory situation and conspiring to leave vast amounts of RPL's performance on the table to prop up Zen 4 in their benchmark charts because there is virtually no difference to begin with.

Yet, they're almost certainly reading this and keeping quiet. Probably waiting for short term memory to be deleted.

As I said earlier last night it seems to have to do with intel imc mt/s performance being very improved at slightly higher speeds with the roi falling short long after any sensible ram cost is established. In other words you could grab sensible performance if you could afford the higher stick prices that allowed you to further oc years ago. It simply isn't there with rpl. You're gaining 10-15 fps at best with a price differentials of several hundred dollars, and that's not including performance issues down the line if the build isn't stable to begin with at speeds in excess of 6600 mt/s.

The loudest vocal group aka the screeachers of performance figures will repeat like a messed up parrot or broken alarm all about the inside AMD advantage without facing reality. The imc on the ks processors is said to be better but I'm not expecting any marked improvement overall against at a high entry barrier cost that far exceeds the launch msrp of rpl base. What are these people going to say in a few generations when Intel goes full chiplet and relies on their interconnect designs to make it work. They'll quickly forget all the crit they gave AMD post zen+.

Free advice: Don't let former members that were the forum equivalent of userbenchmark live rent free in your heads. Though I do admit, it is hard not to enjoy a little Schadenfreude over seeing all of the nonsense they spewed being so thoroughly debunked.

Back on topic: Adam's benchmarks in post 433 are damned impressive. It is hard to resist the urge to build with Zen 4/3D. There was a 7900X for $300 in FS/FT and I almost PM'd on it when I saw it. Thing is, I seriously do not need it. I am not even pushing my present stuff to its limits 95% of the time. I am on my 2nd playthrough of Days Gone, and at 1080 max in the living room, the CPU and GPU are treating it like a tune up fight. What a well optimized game. Personally, I think it looks every bit as good as RDR2 but runs even better.

I let AC:Odyssey con me into upgrades to get smooth gameplay, not falling for that again. Meaning if Hogshardware or another game doesn't run right on my present setup, I'll dump the game instead of the hardware from now on. At most I'll grab a 5800X 3D down the road.
