With a new processor, AMD would like to once again bring a top model for gamers, which is based on the current socket AM4. Future models will use a new socket called AM5. The probably last processor for with AM4 and thus also the Zen 3 architecture brings with it another special feature.
We are talking about the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which brings the so-called 3D V-Cache for the first time. The specially stacked buffer memory should allow the CPU to compete with the current top models from Intel. The official release is only in two weeks. In Peru, however, the CPU is apparently already available. At least that’s what the Peruvian gaming website claims Xanxo Gamingwhich claims to have carried out the first benchmarks with the processor.

Significant performance increase could have a big catch
To do this, they tested the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in a wide variety of synthetic benchmarks with the following test system:
- processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
- Mainboard: X570 AORUS Master Rev 1.2
- RAM: 16 GByte 3.200 MHz
- graphic card: Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Ti
- SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TByte
- Second SSD: Silicon Power A55 2 TByte
- operating system: Windows 10 Home
It was tested here in Cinebench, Geekbench 5, CPU-Z, and various scenes in Mixer and Blender. However, the result was more or less the same in all benchmarks: AMD’s processor with 3D V-Cache cannot keep up with Intel’s high-end processors for a long time. Neither in single-core nor in multi-core scores.
In Cinebench, for example, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D achieves a score of 1,493 points single-core and 15,060 points multi-core. Even he works here predecessor
Ryzen 7 5800X, i.e. the same model without 3D cache, more points with around 1,600 in the single-core and 15,500 in the multi-core comparison. The reason for this is probably the slightly lower clock rate of the newcomer.
The result is even clearer in the high-end competition from Intel. The Core i9-12900K achieves 2,000 points in the single core and a full 27,000 points in the multi-core score in the same benchmark. AMD apparently has no chance here with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D.

The 3D V-Cache should primarily score in games
Synthetic benchmarks like those tested by Xanxo Gaming measure performance in tasks like data compression, web browsing, 3D rendering, and more. However, the 3D V-Cache is intended to bring more performance in games. But here we already have at least a first test.
Apparently, the employees of the frame capturing software CapFrameX have already received an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Because on the official Twitter account they posted a first benchmark from the game Shadow of the Tomb Raider and the results are surprising given the synthetic benchmarks:

In the CapFrameX test, the AMD processor with 3D V-Cache performs better than the top models from Intel. This achieves an average of 228 frames per second, where the Intel i9-12900KS only manages an average of 200 FPS.
However, we still have to wait for further tests and benchmarks for a representative result. However, the Tomb Raider benchmark gives hope that the 3D V-Cache can actually boost performance in games.
What do you think? Can AMD’s 3D cache win through more performance in games? Or is performance in other processes also an important factor for you? Your opinion is in demand.
