Not surprising unless the synthetic benchmarks are handing off more to the large cache it has.

12700k result with proper memory.
332fps in the same spot.

12900k with 7000c30 = 370fps+

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is marginally faster and sometimes even slower than the 5800X when it comes to synthetic benchmarks like GeekBench, CPU-Z and Cinebench, but the processor really shines in games where it manages to outperform even the top-of-the-line Alder Lake desktop models from Intel.

B please thats 3200 cl 14 ram vs 4800 cl 40 ram. You didnt read the source arent you.....

The article purposely opt out the detail of 12900k using the worst ddr5 with highest cl and the 5800x3d using the best ddr4 ram thus remove any benefit from ddr5 platform.

DDR4-3200 is far from being the best DDR4 RAM. In fact Ryzen 5000 officially supports up to DDR4-3200, Alder Lake officially supports up to DDR5-4800. So, its absolutely fair to compare with those settings. But even with something like DDR5-6200 the 12900K would score ~220. Still slower at much higher overall costs. 5800X3D seems to be a great option for gamers. High fps without the need of expensive RAM.

Well seeing as the benchmarks are coming from a site banned from AMD from a chip that was sold through a mysterious middle man in Peru. I'm genuinely surprised any benchmark is good. Updated drivers on release date is all but guaranteed.

And all the above should be freaking Intel out a little bit since 3D v-cache clearly is a force to be reckoned with.
