This review looks at AMD's new Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, integrating their "V-Cache" (or vertical cache) on top of a single-CCD configuration adjacent the I/O die. Unlike the AMD R9 7950X3D and AMD R9 7900X3D, this only contains one 8-core chiplet, and so should actually have some advantages in gaming scenarios when frequency isn't the main concern. Those advantages primarily show vs. the 7900X3D, which ends up a 6-core CPU (with SMT) when using the core parking feature to reduce cross-CCD latency on cache hits. Our review today primarily benchmarks the R 7 7800X3D vs. the i7-13700K, R9 7900X3D, R7 5800X3D, and 7950X3D.
