AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Ryzen 7 5800X

Gaming - Average FPS

There are so many games around that we didn't just want to test all the most glitzy ones as we would with GPU reviews, nor the lowest detail ones as we do with CPU reviews. Instead this is a reasonable cross section of titles, all run at the kind of resolution most people use who haven't sold a Picasso to pay for a rig. Control, Borderlands 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn all make the most of the faster 3D V-Cache on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. However, even the much lighter Wolfenstein Youngblood, or the more CPU intensive Total Warhammer II, all make light of the clock speed differential between the two processors to prefer the design of the newest AMD offering. Impressive showing.
