AMD’s new processor brings 3D V-Cache technology to your PCs for the first time. The cache is built into the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which is primarily intended to bring more performance in games without increasing power consumption. In fact, the clock rate is even slightly lower than the same model without 3D V-Cache.
But let’s start from the beginning: The embargo on tests with AMD’s latest CPU for the AM4 socket will not be lifted until tomorrow. The hardware side Xanxo Gaming According to its own statements, it was already able to purchase the new processor from a retailer and tested it without further ado. You will get our detailed review of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D tomorrow, just in time for the embargo.
AMD’s new processor is made for gaming
Xanxo Gaming already had the AMD processor in-house last week and ran some synthetic benchmarks with it. Here the result is clear: the 5800X3D doesn’t stand a chance against Intel’s top models such as the Core i9-12900K.
However, the AMD processor is not designed for this either. Even against the Ryzen 7 5800X, the new processor draws the short straw because of the lower clock rate. In games, however, things look quite different. The 3D V-Cache can play to its strengths here, as the benchmarks of the Peruvian side show.
Here the Ryzen 7 5800X3D was tested against the top model Intel i9-12900KF in various games. The results are clear: AMD’s processor is either significantly superior to Intel’s, or the two models are on par.
The biggest difference can be seen here in Final Fantasy 15, where the AMD processor brings around 30 percent more frames per second. It’s still just over 10 percent in Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1080p resolution.
In many other games such as Assassin’s Creed: Origins, Borderlands 3 or F1 2020, the two processors do not show any significant differences.
Where the Ryzen 7 5800X3D still uses the AM4 socket, the new generation of processors from AMD fits the AM5 socket. This could bring significantly more performance and appear earlier than expected:

The 3D V-Cache seems to do exactly what it’s supposed to
If Xanxo Gaming’s results are confirmed by further tests, the new 3D V-Cache will do exactly what AMD promises: It will bring more performance to games without requiring more cores, threads or energy.
Meanwhile, AMD seems to be trying to tease out everything in terms of price-performance with its graphics cards in the next generation. But they could trip themselves up in the process. Is AMD risking too much with the Radeon RX 7700 XT for a low price?
