New AMD Ryzen 5000/4000 processors will not be released until next month (April 20), and this means that consumers will have to wait a few more weeks until independent reviews are published. Officially, AMD claims that its X3D part on average is 15% faster than Ryzen 9 5900x in games. In addition, the company also confirmed that the additional 64 MB of Cash memory will show the best results in games, and not in synthetic tests.
CPU estimates in Geekbench, apparently, are a good example of this. Without an increase in performance in a single-core test, the CPU actually still can show the result by 9% higher in multi-core, and this despite lower clock frequencies.
5800x3D is an 8-nuclear and 16-line Zen3 processor, based on the crystal codenamed Vermeer-X. It comes with 96 MB of cache (32 + 64), which is three times more than 5800x. The CPU will retain the same TDP shell of 105 W, but from the point of view of the CPU frequencies is slower to 200-400 MHz. Unfortunately, there is no "simple" way to increase the clock frequency. AMD has already confirmed that this SKU will not support acceleration in the traditional way.
Dutch retailer sells Ryzen 7 5800x3d at a price of 503 euros:
The official recommended retail price of the processor is 449 US dollars (~ 407 euros), which is more or less reflected in the initial lists of retailers (without VAT). In the Dutch store 2Compute it is specified at a price of 503 euros (with VAT) and 416 euros without VAT.
AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3D will go on sale on April 20 along with a number of new Ryzen 5000 and 4000 SKU. Most likely, this is the last AMD attempt to save the AM4 platform before the official transition to the AM5 socket for the Zen4 platform.
