AMD launched its Zen 5 generation in two stages in August, with a public reception that we can describe as temperate, not to say “fresh”. The Ryzen 9000s are however far from being bad, but the performance differential separating them from the previous generation coupled with uncompetitive prices compared to these Ryzen 7000s led to this relative initial disenchantment. Since then, the situation has changed somewhat: the prices of newcomers have softened, those of their predecessors have on the contrary increased and Intel has launched its Core Ultra 200S which is struggling to compete with them. Enough for many potential buyers, a more benevolent look at this generation. What's more, AMD kept an important asset up its sleeve, namely the versions equipped with 3D V-Cache, which have been delighting gamers since Zen 3. After a little teasing A few weeks ago, it is time to lift the veil on the first representative of these variants, namely the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Like the 5800X3D and 7800X3D, we are dealing here with an octa-core stuffed with L3. However, a significant difference in design changes many things: the 3D V-Cache is this time no longer stacked on the die calculations but the opposite, allowing much better thermal management. For what practical results? You will find the answer within this file.
