CPU Benchmark Performance: Power, Office, and Science
Our previous set of ‘office’ benchmarks has often been a mix of science and synthetics, so this time we wanted to keep our office section purely on real-world performance.
For the remainder of the testing in this review of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, we are using DDR4 memory at the following settings:
- DDR4-3200
Power
Looking at the power draw between the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and the other chips tested, it is more power-efficient than the original Ryzen 7 5800X. This could be down to a load VID core voltage as the 5800X3D is actually clocked lower by 100 MHz at turbo clock speeds.
Office
In our office benchmark, the newer Ryzen 7 5800X3D performs similarly to the previous Ryzen 7 5800X processor.
Science
Our science-based benchmarks, for the most part, show that the Ryzen 7 5800X is slightly better computational-wise than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. This is primarily due to the 5800X being clocked 100 MHz higher than the newer 5800X3D.
Where the extra L3 cache can benefit performance, it does, including in AI Benchmark, but overall the performance is very similar between both chips.

Thank you. We're overhauling our 3D test suite for the next generation CPUs. Watch this space!lemurbutton - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
Review something far more interesting: M1 Ultra.djboxbaba - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
Was beginning to think that they were planning on shutting this website down… are they struggling to get writers?Threska - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
*smirk* Whaaa! They're not reviewing my favorite piece of silicon, they're going out of business.Gavin Bonshor - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
Don't worry, we're not going anywhere.Ryan Smith - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
I won't beat around the bush: it's taking longer than expected to get a new Sr. CPU Editor hired. That's a big part of the reason things are so slow - fewer hands, and my time is being tied up with hiring.djboxbaba - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
Makes sense. Thank you!abufrejoval - Monday, July 11, 2022 - link
I am assuming the primary issue is having first rate editors accept third rate salaries?Unlike Anand it wouldn't seem that Ian and Andrei were lured away by big cash.
