CPU Benchmark Performance: Legacy and Web
In order to gather data to compare with older benchmarks, we are still keeping a number of tests under our ‘legacy’ section. This includes all the former major versions of CineBench (R15, R11.5, R10) as well as x264 HD 3.0 and the first very naïve version of 3DPM v2.1. We won’t be transferring the data over from the old testing into Bench, otherwise, it would be populated with 200 CPUs with only one data point, so it will fill up as we test more CPUs like the others.
The other section here is our web tests.
We are using DDR4 memory at the following settings:
- DDR4-3200
Legacy
Looking at Ryzen 7 5800X3D's performance in our legacy section of our CPU test suite, it does seemingly lack behind the Intel 12th Gen Core series in terms of overall grunt. The most interesting element is that the discrepancy is clear to see between the clock speeds of the 5800X3D and the vanilla 5800X; the 5800X is slightly faster and is marginally better than the 5800X in compute-heavy tasks.
Web
Even in our web-based tests, the regular Ryzen 7 5800X outperforms the 5800X3D with 3D V-Cache quite consistently. This shows that the additional L3 cache has no bearing on performance in this area.

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.
