We suspected this a little: with an increase in the authorized temperature and the passage of the 3D V-Cache under the CCD, the consumption is increasing with 247 W recorded at the socket during our rendering in Blender. This is therefore +39% compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
In the same exercise, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D consumes 20% more than the Ryzen 7 9700X and its TDP of 65 W, but also 20% less than the Ryzen 9 9900X with a TDP of 120 W.
If the progression seems significant, it is because our consumption test pushes the processors to the maximum. In a few games and only according to the processor probes, we noted a consumption of 64 W on average compared to 59 W for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, an increase of 9%.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D consumes 5% more than the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, but 22% less than the Core Ultra 7 265K from the same manufacturer, 33% less than the Core Ultra 9 285K, and even 42% less than the Core i9-14900K.
Regarding temperatures, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D dissipates calories much better than its predecessor with an average temperature of 48.7°C compared to 59.8°C with our cooling system set for video game use.
