Achieved CPU clock speed
The most popular Ryzen 7000 with 3D V-cache obliterates competition in its targeted environment. Intel doesn’t measure up to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D in a comparable price range in terms of speed, and even if someone disregards price and sees the Core i9-13900K(S) as a an apt competitor, when comparing power draw, everyone’s appetite for Intel will go away. Their efficiency is… incomparable, as each is at a different end of the spectrum.
Disclaimer: For big.LITTLE-based processors, the result is missing in some tests. This is because they didn’t scale properly with P cores and the achieved performance was too low. In such cases it is indeed possible to force performance on all cores, but this does not happen by default at the user level. To avoid creating the illusion in some cases that measured results such as those presented in the graphs are normally achieved, we omit them. However, these are a negligible fraction of the total set of test results.

First of all fantastic review. Would it be possible for you in the future to also include X-Plane 12 and DCS World in your benchmark suite? No one ever tests them and while they are very niche they are extremly CPU heavy, moreso than any other game. That would be awesome to see if you could do that.
Thank you for the useful tips for expanding test applications. X-Plane 12 and DCS World will probably be included, but probably won’t be in the next test yet. The time complexity of the things we do (not only in the processor tests) is hitting a ceiling with the current editorial capabilities. Anyway, I’m putting both games on the list of “things that would be worthwhile to deal with as part of a methodology revision”.
I would like a clarification on something.
“The main role for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is played by the same modification – the addition of a second piece of silicon on the CCD chiplet with the CPU cores”
Is this line referring to the extra silicon for the 3D V-cache? Or the modification that only the other 2 7000 X3D chips have of a second CCD on the processor?
Yes, the cited quote refers to a chip with 3D V-cache.
