The total depends on the place of residence
The authors of the Hardware Unboxed channel compared all three Ryzen 5000X3D processors that are available on the market. These are Ryzen 5 5600X3D, Ryzen 7 5700X3D and Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
Recall that the first one has six cores, and the remaining ones have eight each. At the same time, the first one, unfortunately, is officially sold only in the USA and only in the Microcenter chain of stores. Official prices are in the same order of $230, $250 and $450, but the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has long been on sale for around $320.
Since these are gaming processors, we tested them specifically in games. It is games that are sensitive to the amount of cache memory, and X3D processors offer a huge amount of space for a typical consumer CPU.
As you can see, between the three test participants, despite the difference in frequencies and number of cores, there is almost no difference in performance. All of them are much faster than their regular counterparts without 3D V-Cache, which also show results close to each other.
Thus, among all this trinity, the most profitable for games is the junior Ryzen 5 5600X3D, but given its exclusivity, for most the best choice would be the Ryzen 7 5700X3D.
However, here it is worth comparing these CPUs, including the Ryzen 7000. In this generation, AMD has significantly improved the gaming performance of the architecture, so even the regular Ryzen 5 7600 is at the level of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Moreover, the first one is significantly cheaper. Yes, AM5 motherboards and DDR5 memory are noticeably more expensive than their AM4 and DDR4 counterparts, but long-term AM5 support is a big plus. In particular, as you can see right there, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D greatly outperforms all participants.
But if you already have a PC on AM4, then Ryzen 5000X3D — a great option to increase performance in games.
