1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:08,880
it's been a pretty sad depressing year for desktop CPUs Den 5 was cool

2
00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:12,559
literally but not exciting and then core

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:17,240
Ultra 200 was interesting but

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:19,920
unimpressive today that changes behold

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:26,199
the blessing that AMD hath bestowed upon us imbued with second generation 3D

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:30,439
vcash higher clock speeds and more power

7
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:33,760
the 9800 X 3D somehow tops our gaming

8
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:37,120
charts and it runs cooler than the x3d

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,040
chips that came before it what the heck

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,280
that's not usually how that works at all is something wrong that's a good

11
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:46,320
question it seems like you never had enough energy these days get a boost

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,480
with our sponsor Eco flow and check out their rapid magnetic power bank it's got

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:56,000
22 wireless charging and the building cable according to the testing the

14
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,520
iPhone 15 Pro charges to 50% in just 25

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,039
minutes you can learn more at the link in the video description

16
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:15,200
while the 7800x 3D came out a year after

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,200
the 5800 x3d it still used what AMD

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,960
calls first generation 3D vcash so sure

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,920
the new chip performed better than the old one but the big selling point the 3D

20
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,119
Vash wasn't all that different physically AMD piled a bunch of extra

21
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,079
cash on top of the chip threw game games at it and then generously distributed

22
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:39,520
high fives throughout the office with the 9800 x3d though we're getting

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:44,560
something fresh we're still getting the same number of cores eight cores with

24
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:49,119
two threads each and the same amount of cash 96 megabytes of level three and 1

25
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:54,719
Megabyte of level two per core but they've gone and they've put all of that

26
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,039
juicy 3D V cache below the core complex

27
00:01:54,719 --> 00:02:01,600
die which contains New Zen 5 processing course this change allows for better

28
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:06,920
Cooling which also seems to have allowed AMD to juice those cores a little harder

29
00:02:04,119 --> 00:02:13,080
resulting in a 200 MHz uplift and boost clocks over last gen and a surprising

30
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,400
500 MHz increase to base clocks now the

31
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:20,840
official TDP has actually remained the same but our 9800 x3d is definitely

32
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,120
sucking back more power both in productivity and in games and what's

33
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,319
especially cool to some of you watching this video is that AMD has committed to

34
00:02:27,519 --> 00:02:34,160
finally unlock these chips allowing overclocking we're going to be looking

35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:39,360
at four different platforms today Intel 200 series Intel 14th gen am4 for The

36
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:46,560
Savvy Gamers who bought into that long live platform and AMD's 9000 Series non

37
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:48,040
x3d chips we also threw in a ryzen 3600x

38
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:53,000
for anyone who's on a slightly older platform and is wondering if it's

39
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:58,400
finally time and you know what it just might be do you like generational uplift

40
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:03,519
how do you like them generational uplift this jump in f123 at 1080p low it's not

41
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:09,239
quite as big as the leap from Zen 3 to Zen 4 with only about a 5% Improvement

42
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,519
in 1% lows and about 8% in averages but

43
00:03:09,239 --> 00:03:15,959
for those of you who have been holding on to am4 an upgrade is starting to look

44
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:23,480
a lot more enticing we're talking about a 20% Improvement in average FPS and 13%

45
00:03:19,959 --> 00:03:25,840
in lows compared to our 5800 x3d then

46
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:32,599
there's Stellaris going from a SIM time of 110 seconds on Zen 3 down to just 92

47
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:36,120
for Zen 4 that was good hitting 78

48
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:38,599
seconds on the new 9800 X 3D that's even

49
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:43,799
better there is some decent competition from the other zen5 chips our 9700x

50
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:49,360
isn't too far behind here but now that we've got all of those IPC gains from

51
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,720
the 9000 Series alongside 3D vcash the

52
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,120
true gaming winner is clear and things

53
00:03:52,720 --> 00:04:00,959
look dire for anyone who's trying to compete with AMD in Shadow of the Tomb

54
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:03,040
Raider look at this it's all AMD all x3d

55
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:09,040
at the top with the newcomer breaking the 400 and 300 FPS barriers in averages

56
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:14,280
and 1% lows respectively there are other good options here the 5800 X 3D is still

57
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:19,160
a great performer and its value cannot be overstated especially if you already

58
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,880
have an am4 motherboard but they've gone end of life so getting a deal on one

59
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:26,759
might be a little harder in the short term there are other options though and

60
00:04:25,479 --> 00:04:30,600
we're going to talk about those a little bit later during our value analysis bit

61
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:35,520
for now let's come back to game benchmarks where cyberpunk shows similar

62
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:41,639
gains over every other chip and Intel gets just demolished across multiple

63
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:46,120
Generations I mean I guess a little more gen to gen uplift would be nice to see

64
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:52,840
for the 9800 x3d but it's clear we're off to a bloody good start and a bloody

65
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,759
good continuation Total War Warhammer 3

66
00:04:52,840 --> 00:05:00,280
is yet another win it isn't much better than the 9700x but it is better while

67
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:05,039
we've got a few more games where the improvements for the 9800 x3d are

68
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:09,520
certainly less impressive there's decent improvements to 1% lows in Red Dead

69
00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:15,080
Redemption 2 particularly over the 5800 x3d and while rocket League doesn't seem

70
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,880
to care much about 3D vcash the 9800 x3d

71
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:22,800
actually rocks in this game Crossing 800 frames per second in averages which puts

72
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:29,160
it right near the top of the list but here's the thing for CPU reviews we test

73
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:31,759
at 1080p low this tells us which CPU is

74
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:36,280
the best by removing any other system bottlenecks like the GPU but it's kind

75
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:41,039
of like comparing cars based on their top speeds it's good to know and a

76
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:45,240
faster car is a faster car if that's what you want to spend your money on but

77
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:50,319
it's not necessarily representative of the daily Driving Experience for a

78
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:53,680
typical user so what happens with our

79
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:55,400
x3d chips when we daily drive them

80
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:00,400
bumping up the resolution in the in-game settings I mean we've got a 490 on the

81
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:05,440
bench we might want to use our 49 90 and as it turns out 1080p Ultra and

82
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:11,160
cyberpunk doesn't give us a huge reason to upgrade to this new CPU all three of

83
00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:13,560
our processors perform well enough and

84
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:20,319
as we get more and more GPU bottlenecked through 1440p and 4K resolutions it

85
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:22,639
becomes harder and harder to justify and

86
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:27,639
yeah I know cyber Punk not the be all and end all but out of the four games we

87
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:31,280
tested at Ultra cyber Punk was actually the one that saw the most Improvement

88
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:36,479
black myth Wukong set to ultra is basically neck and neck across all three

89
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,759
resolutions and so is f123 with all

90
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:43,199
three chips within a few FPS of each other as for Red Dead Redemption 2 even

91
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,880
at 1080p there's really not a lot of justification for this upgrade if you

92
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:52,240
like to make your games look pretty which is all kind of a downer I mean I

93
00:06:49,479 --> 00:06:55,560
was pretty excited but it could be exciting for those folks out there who

94
00:06:53,880 --> 00:07:00,240
don't have a ton of money to upgrade to a new platform with ddr5 speaking of

95
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,639
it's been a while since I am 5 debuted so for funsies we tried some different

96
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:11,560
memory kits to see if RAM speed is important on our new ryzen 7 and it is

97
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:14,440
but not very faster memory resulted in

98
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:19,000
more average FPS 1% lows or both on the three games we tested but not by that

99
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:22,560
much with 6,800 megat transfers per second looking like the sweet spot for

100
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,199
Value coming back to legitimately compelling reasons to upgrade though I

101
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:32,879
want to talk about how much better thermals are on this new CPU both the 98

102
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,560
800 x3d and the 7800 x3d are rated for

103
00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:38,360
120 W TDP but only the new CPU actually

104
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:43,879
draws anywhere near that amount in our testing in cinebench last gen only draws

105
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:51,759
about 82 Watts on average while reaching 75° C our 9800 x3d thanks to putting the

106
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:55,720
vcash below the CCD is drawing up to the

107
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:58,280
full 120 watts while running 7° cooler

108
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:03,400
on average now this testing was done with a 360 m AIO but what is clear from

109
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:07,720
looking at these numbers is that you could Max this thing out with a modest

110
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:12,520
Tower cooler and never worry about thermal throttling it's also going to be

111
00:08:09,479 --> 00:08:14,319
a dream for small form factor Builders

112
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:19,440
and that carries through the gaming as well in our f123 stress test we're only

113
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:26,080
using a few more watts on average but we see another 8° drop that is flipping

114
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:31,000
wild and it kills any interest that someone might have had in other CPUs

115
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:36,919
that have been Bri about new lower temperatures actually AMD Zone included

116
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:41,120
but what about the teeny tiny elephant in the room let's talk about

117
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:45,519
productivity while many of you out there are only interested in gaming many

118
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:50,320
others enjoy Computing in a different way I want to take a closer look at the

119
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,120
9800 X 3D compared to its 9000 Series

120
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:59,079
brethren in blender it's a few seconds behind the 9700x and way ahead of last

121
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:05,160
gen respectable in good compile it now beats the 9700 X but is significantly

122
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:10,440
behind the higher tier AMD chips handbrake same thing Photoshop sees the

123
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:16,680
only clear win for the 9800 X 3D but then Premiere it's back just above the

124
00:09:12,839 --> 00:09:18,640
9700x prime seeve okay same thing wide

125
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:25,120
cruncher I think we're sensing a bit of a pattern here um how about seven zip uh

126
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:28,120
yep okay cin bench oh this is something

127
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,399
a little different it beats the 9700x in

128
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:35,200
multicore and then Lo es by just two points in single core very cool you know

129
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:40,440
what's not the same thing by the way our new commuter backpack from LTT Store.com

130
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:45,800
same Great Tech first design philosophy I'm going to reach it 5 L smaller sign

131
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:51,680
up for a notification today anyway the bottom line is if you were looking at

132
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:55,160
the 9700x as a solid do everything CPU

133
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:58,600
this launch might not change that much I

134
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:01,600
mean sure this is objectively the

135
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:04,600
fastest game CPU on the market and if

136
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,680
you want the best of the best this is it

137
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:13,680
but bear with me for a second here at MSRP the 9800 x3d costs a whopping $230

138
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:19,959
R dues or $150 more than the

139
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:22,839
9700x and if you're spending almost $500

140
00:10:19,959 --> 00:10:27,399
on your CPU alone are you really gaming at 108p I'm not trying to shame anyone

141
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:31,440
who is some of you are probably literally professional Gamers and you've

142
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:37,120
got your reasons but for the folks who aren't trying to go pro a decent 1440p

143
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:41,240
gaming monitor is like 200 bucks these days and it's probably going to do more

144
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:45,160
for your enjoyment than a shiny new CPU that shaves a little bit off of your

145
00:10:42,639 --> 00:10:51,440
frame times and even for the folks with aging systems the 5800 x3d it's end of

146
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:57,720
life but you can still purchase a 5700 x3d which is only a little slower brand

147
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:59,800
new for $200 at the time of filming that

148
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:04,959
means you could throw in a RAM upgrade a 2 TB m.2 SSD and a nice meal and

149
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:10,320
you're still paying less than you would for this CPU alone now there are other

150
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:14,880
reasons to migrate to a new platform PCIe Gen 5 for example that might be a

151
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,680
Difference Maker when NVIDIA's 50 Series arrives in the next couple of months but

152
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:24,480
you should choose based on what a purchase does for you today not based on

153
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,480
what it might do for you later so don't

154
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,639
get me wrong the improvements that AMD has made here especially when it comes

155
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:34,839
to thermals with the second gen design are awesome I mean it's refreshing to

156
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,639
