The biggest differences that can be found currently between Intel and AMD are the way their processors perform in games, since this is the most demanding task that exists so far, and in which AMD has really stood out for a long time for its 3D V-Cache variants, and now we can see if this is really true or if, on the contrary, this processor is overrated.
Is the AMD 7800X3D as good as it’s cracked up to be?
To really know if a processor is good, you obviously have to compare it to its main competitor, in this case we see that the Ryzen 7 7800x3D It should be an alternative to the fourteenth generation Intel i7 processors, but the reality is quite different, since it competes directly with Intel’s most powerful processor. And really, the performance
The AMD processor is able to offer a general average of more than 9 FPS in the titles in which it has better results than Intel, out of 21 titles in which it has been tested, it has offered better results in 14 of them, also having a tie in one and being surpassed in only 6 games, with an average of 7 FPS more. Although this actually comes from a test carried out in 1080p, in other cases where we can see the use of 2K and 4K resolutions, the difference is much shorter, but still gives the winner to the AMD processor.
This obviously implies that in almost every aspect of performance, Ryzen 7 7800x3D compared to the i9-14900K, but what really matters is not only the performance, so let’s see if it is able to surpass them in other aspects as well.
It not only wins in performance, but also in price
Another thing to be clear about when comparing these two processors in addition to performance is the price, and we are actually talking about a processor, like AMD’s, that can be found between $370 and $430 with a maximum price of $549, while Intel’s is usually between $600 and $650.
This only shows that it not only offers better performance compared to a version considered superior, but also makes its acquisition much more affordable, in the end the difference is $ 100 if we only count the recommended retail price or $ 200 if we see how the price of the 7800x3D has fallen in recent months.
And this shows that if you want to opt for one of these two processors, you have to go directly to the one offered by AMD, since in addition to offering similar power, which sometimes exceeds the i9-14900K, it is also much cheaper, being a more affordable solution.
Consumption, one of Intel’s biggest problems
Among all the problems that can be found in Intel, it is not only that its processor offers worse performance; nor the case where it would lose a competition against a version with which it really should not compete; not even the fact that it is more expensive than the CPU that surpasses it in many aspects. And the big problem that this processor represents is its consumption, being the processor that consumes the most on average compared to all those that can currently be found on the market.
This wouldn’t be a problem if it really offered adequate power for its consumption, but we find that this is not the case, which means that we can say, definitively, that the 7800x3D is one of the best processors that can be found for gamenot to say directly that it is the best for this use.
