According to an evaluation report released by Hardware Unboxed, it uses an RTX 5090 graphics card at 1080p resolution.The average frame rate test of 12 games was conducted on AMD Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 X3D processors, covering Zen 3, Zen 4 and Zen 5 three-generation architectures.
In 1080p medium quality, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D led the field with an average of 266 FPS and a 1% low frame rate of 199 FPS, followed by the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 257 FPS and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D with 233 FPS.
At the bottom is the Ryzen 5 5500X3D based on the AM4 platform, with only 162 FPS, and the gap between the fastest and the slowest is about 64%.
It should be pointed out that the 5500X3D uses DDR4-3200 memory, while the 7000/9000 series are equipped with DDR5-6000. Platform differences are also part of the reason for the performance gap.
After switching to the highest image quality of 1080p, the gap between CPUs narrowed. The 9850X3D still led with 203 FPS, the 9800X3D was 196 FPS, the 7800X3D was 181 FPS, and the 5500X3D was 132 FPS. The overall gap narrowed to about 54%.
In terms of intergenerational upgrades, the gaming performance of Ryzen 7 7800X3D is improved by about 20-24% compared to 5800X3D, and the 9800X3D is further improved by 8-10% on this basis.The Zen 5 X3D series maintains leadership in both average frame rate and 1% low frame rate indicators.
It is worth noting that the performance gap between 6-core and 8-core models is only 6-10%, indicating that for gaming scenarios, IPC improvement and memory bandwidth improvement are more important than core number.
This review does not include 12-core or 16-core X3D models. In addition, AMD’s latest Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is equipped with dual 3D cache for the first time. Although AMD does not promote it as a game processor, it is expected that game performance will be further improved.
