In contrast, while we don't have an image of a delidded Ryzen 7 7800X3D (or even a render), it comes with only one of the two smaller rectangular CCDs seen in the image. Whereas the 13900K and 7950X3D were neck and neck using the medium settings, the more demanding Epic settings hand the Zen 4 part a massive 31% win. The X3D chips, which were announced amid CES 2023, will mark a newfound introduction to AMD’s incredible L3 3D V-Cache technology, a form of advanced packaging and stacking to allow larger benefits in gaming and content creation. So the single core score drops to just 1816 pts, which is a 30% boost from the 5800X3D, but 8% slower than the 7700X.

It's in our other CPU-focused tests that we really see the Ryzen 7 7800X3D fall short for the money.A processor that has impressive performance might fit well in a high-end work system, but be an unaffordable option for a home PC.

AMD provided us with data that clearly shows the Ryzen 7 7800X3D can perform better than the Intel Core i9-13900K or the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X when all three are paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090.However, the 3D V-Cache cache might be better referred to as L4 cache, as it is architecturally separate from the CCX’s L3. If you are after a fast processor in terms of pure CPU grunt, you’d be better off with almost any other chip shown in the charts above.
