The latest benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU have been leaked which show up to 12% faster performance versus the stock chip.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is going to be the true successor to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D which has been a hot gaming chip ever since it launched in retail. This CPU is going to be the ideal choice for gamers with 8 cores, 16 threads, and the same 104 MB of cache (32 MB CCD, 64 MB V-Cache + 8 MB L2). The CPU comes with a base clock of around 4 GHz which could end up at least 500 MHz slower than the Ryzen 7 7700X and a boost clock of 5.0 GHz which is 400 MHz slower than the Ryzen 7 7700X.

In benchmarks leaked by chi11eddog, we see that the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU was tested on an MSI X670E Tomahawk WIFI motherboard with the v122 BIOS. The motherboard ran a pair of Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000 memory, an MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming Trio GPU, and used the MSI Coreliquid S360 AIO for cooling. The latest version of Windows 11 (22H2) was used for testing.

The performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU was tested in various settings such as Stock, EXPO, EXPO with High-Efficiency Mode, and EXPO with both High-Efficiency Mode and the Enhanced Mode Boost 3 profiles. These Enhanced Mode Boost 3 and High-Efficiency Mode are only available on the MSI X670E high-end motherboards and the performance differences show a 9-12% boost over the stock chip at 1440p using Max quality. A range of games are tested which are shown in the chart below:

Following are the results for the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (stock vs tuned) across each of the games tested:

As you can see, moving over to the EXPO profile does give a small boost in performance but using all three tuning options on the motherboard delivers the best results. Even at 1440p with a high-end GPU such as the RTX 4090, users will be able to get some decent 5% gains on average which are better than nothing. This would further increase the performance over the existing 5800X3D and Intel's flagship Core i9-13900K which the chip is positioned against in terms of gaming perf.

Furthermore, we have learned that MSI will be introducing a new feature on its motherboards that will drastically reduce the boot time for the AMD AM5 platform running Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs. We have been told that this new feature will cut the boot time from 5X seconds to just 2X (~23sec) seconds.

This is very impressive stuff coming from AMD. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D launches on the 6th of April which is just two days away.
