It has been said that AMD's next Ryzen 7 9700X "Zen 5" central processing unit will be 2% faster on average in games compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D "3D V-Cache" processor.
AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X central processing unit (CPU) is an 8-core Zen 5 CPU designed to compete with Intel's Core i5-14600K and, more crucially, AMD's own Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which has been the best seller at various stores ever since it was released.
It is generally agreed that the 3D V-cache chip is the most effective and best gaming central processing unit (CPU) available within its price range; however, the new Zen 5 chips should compete favorably with the older 3D V-cache components, as per WCCFTech.
Through gaming benchmarks, it appears that AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X "Zen 5" Desktop CPU might just be able to exceed the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, as Mark Campbell of Overclock3d stated. During the AMD Tech Day, the firm only compared the Ryzen 7 9700X and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, a far older processor that has performed exceptionally well on the AM4 platform. The new Ryzen 7 9700X performance in games is up to thirty percent faster than that of the 5800X3D, and it is twelve percent faster on average.
This is particularly impressive when the Ryzen 7 5800X3D had a thermal design power (TDP) of 105W, while the Ryzen 7 9700X CPU has a stated TDP of only 65W. Consequently, not only will the Ryzen 7 9700X have a significantly lower power consumption, but it will also run cooler, as we detailed in our in-depth analysis of the Ryzen 9000 central processing units here.
AMD also commented on the performance of the Ryzen 7 9700X compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The company disclosed that the new Zen 5 Desktop CPU should be able to perform 2% quicker on average in the same tests that were used to evaluate the 9700X to the 5800X3D. The total gaming figures may differ from one chip to the next because AMD chose to highlight only select games to demonstrate the gaming capabilities.
As the red team previously stated, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D should continue to be the king of gaming in some games, capable of efficiently using 3D V-Cache. However, in other games, the Ryzen 7 9700X should be faster or very near to it, which is astounding coming from a CPU that does not support 3D V-Cache.
This is a positive sign for the AMD Ryzen 9000X3D Zen 5 "3D V-Cache" central processing units, which are anticipated to be released later this year, somewhere between September and October. 3D V-Cache has been contributing approximately 10-15% improvements in gaming performance; so, when you add that to the Ryzen 7 9700X that you already have, you are getting excellent performance while maintaining high efficiency.
This revelation should get gamers excited about Zen 5's possibilities in the gaming area. Of course, we should wait for reviews to see the Ryzen 7 9700X's actual gaming performance, but until then, this news should have gamers excited about where Zen 5 could go.
