Ryzen 7 5800X3D stumbles on PassMark against the i9-12900K and Ryzen 7 5800X but this AMD chip is for gaming

[Redaktion]

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D, also known by AMD as the "world's fastest desktop gaming processor", has appeared in PassMark's synthetic benchmark suite. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D lagged behind the Ryzen 7 5800X and Intel Core i9-12900K, but its unique L3 cache configuration should not be overlooked when it comes to gaming.

"this AMD chip is for gaming" - nah, it's for the few spoiled brats who can afford to buy one

Obviously this Passmark run is borked. 5800X3D shouldn't be slower than 5800X clock for clock. If 5800X at 4.7 GHz scores 3486 on average in the single thread rating then 5800X3D at 4.5 GHz should score at least ~3340.

You realize that is cost more to buy a Intel CPU?

Shocker I know

For the love of god STOP using PassMark for just about anything whether it favors AMD or Intel. They are notorious for being wrong, purposely manipulated, and even by their own admission not accurate.

You do realize that the 5800X can overclock itself if you have sufficient cooling while the 5800X3D can't. It's the price you pay for the extra cache. The frequencies you quote are not actually achieved values during the test therefore you can't draw the conclusion that you have drawn.

It's obvious that only applications that can use the extra cache can benefit from it. And scientific benchmarks tend to be optimized to use smaller caches as efficiently as possible, minimizing the room for improvement. Efficient data access patterns are a huge factor in performance. Because processors are so much faster than memory. Games, on the other hand, often have reputation for poor optimization.

It's always the case that you have to look at relevant benchmarks. Workloads differ. If you play a particular game, ideally, you want a benchmark based on that game. Or find a good proxy (a game that tracks well). Also, if you're playing on high resolution with high details, you're probably limited by your GPU. There is not much the CPU can do about it.

The passmark scores are similar to a 3700x so I would extremely say its borked if we aren't seeing the IPC improvements without overclock.
