As shown above, AMD is benchmarking the latest R9 7950X3D processors against Intel’s flagship i9-13900KS, the R9 7900X3D against the i9-13900K, and the R7 7800X3D, which will be available in April, against the i7-13700K.

AMD also highlights the energy efficiency of the R9 7950X3D, claiming that its performance per watt in Cinebench R23 exceeds that of the i9-13900K by 96%.

AMD said in the PPT, “You don’t need a power-hungry processor to deliver top performance. the AMD R9 7950X3D processor delivers leading-edge performance per watt while delivering incredible multitasking power.”

The AMD R9 7950X3D gaming processor and AMD R9 7900X3D gaming processor are available now for $5,299 and $4,499 respectively. 8-core R7 7800X3D will be available in April, with no Chinese price announced yet.

The parameters are as follows.

• R9 7950X3D: 16 cores, 32 threads, up to 5.7GHz, 144MB cache, 120W TDP
• R9 7900X3D: 12 cores, 24 threads, up to 5.6GHz, 140MB cache, 120W TDP
• R7 7800X3D: 8 cores, 16 threads, up to 5.0GHz, 104MB cache, 120W TDP

According to reports, AMD’s latest chipset driver will be able to dynamically assign which core the Windows operating system uses. If the workload is cache-sensitive, the OS will prioritize using cores with 3D V-Cache. If the frequency is more important, the higher frequency core will be selected.

As shown in the figure above, the 16-core R9 7950X3D has two CCDs, but only one CCD has a large 3D V-Cache cache, so AMD needs a more reasonable scheduling system to give full play to the game performance of this series of processors. The same goes for the 12-core R9 7900X3D. The R7 7800X3D has only one CCD, which should avoid this problem.

The R9 7900X3D and R9 7950X3D will be available on February 28 at a price of $599 (currently about 4103 CNY) and $699 (currently about 4788 CNY). The R7 7800X3D will be launched later in April, priced at $449 (currently about 3076 CNY).

The parameters are as follows:

R9 7950X3D: 16 cores and 32 threads, up to 5.7GHz, 144MB cache, 120W TDP

R9 7900X3D: 12 cores 24 threads, up to 5.6GHz, 140MB cache, 120W TDP

R7 7800X3D: 8 cores 16 threads, up to 5.0GHz, 104MB cache, 120W TDP

Geekbench, the scoring software, does not seem to reflect the advantages of the R9 7950X3D’s large cache, and the cache size is not identified correctly. The score shows that the R9 7950X3D single-core score is similar to the R9 7950X, while the multi-core score is not as good as the R9 7950X.

For comparison, the now available R9 7950X also has 16 cores, accelerates up to 5.7GHz, has 128MB of tertiary cache (64MB+64MB 3D V-Cache), and has a default TDP of 120W.

On the Geekbench platform, the R9 7950X, with its higher default power consumption, scores higher. However, in some cache-sensitive games and applications, the R9 7950X3D will undoubtedly perform better.

The R9 7950X3D will be available on February 28th for $699 (currently about RMB 4788).
