Today, we're comparing the 3 X3D chips readily available on the AM4 platform: the Ryzen 5 5600X3D, Ryzen 7 5700X3D, and Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Technically, the majority of you will just have access to the Ryzen 7 designs, as the 5600X3D is a Micro Center unique that can presently be obtained for $200, although it has actually been consisted of in some exceptionally appealing combination handle the past.
We have the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, readily available at the $250 MSRP and available around the world, along with the 5800X3D at $300. A variety of readers have actually asked for that we compare them to see which design uses the very best worth, particularly for video gaming, so that's what we'll be carrying out in this function.
For those of you not thinking about video gaming, it's most likely you do not require a 3D V-Cache processor and would be much better off thinking about the base designs
As a side note, for those of you not thinking about video gaming, it's most likely you do not require a 3D V-Cache processor and would be much better off thinking about the base designs. For video gaming, specifically in situations where the CPU is the restricting element, the X3D parts are remarkable. Designs such as the recently launched 5700X3D deal AM4 owners a fast and simple upgrade course that can substantially increase frame rates.
In our screening, we will concentrate on CPU-limited video gaming as we intend to examine CPU efficiency, not total system or GPU efficiency. This technique is not meant to convince you to update, however rather to assist you identify whether your existing CPU is impeding your video gaming experience. There are a number of approaches to identify this, for instance, by keeping track of GPU load and observing whether frame rates enhance as you lower the resolution.
The concept of CPU-limited screening is to reveal you the real efficiency distinctions in between 2 items. There's no advantage in GPU-limiting the Ryzen 5 3600 and Ryzen 7 5700X with a GeForce RTX 3060; if the load is 100% on the GPU, then undoubtedly both CPUs will provide similar efficiency.
This method entirely conceals the truth that, when CPU-limited, the 5700X3D is 50% faster than the Ryzen 5 3600. This does not always indicate the 5700X3D provides much better worth than the 3600, however it permits you to precisely evaluate the worth each item offers, understanding the genuine efficiency distinctions. We composed an in-depth short article on this subject if you're interested in discovering more.
In the meantime, let's dive into the standards to see how these CPUs compare …
Standards
Up, we have Baldur's Gate 3, where all 3 AM4 X3D processors provided comparable efficiency at around 130 fps. Regardless of having 2 less cores, the 5600X3D matched the efficiency of the 8-core designs, with its greater core clocks assisting it equal the 5700X3D.
Compared to the non-3D V-Cache designs, we observed a 25-30% efficiency uplift, with the 5600X3D providing the most substantial gain over its basic variation.
