AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 CPUs are releasing in a little over a week, and the first review has already been posted.
SaddyTech posted a video taking a look at the 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X in a slate of games, and there’s some bad news for AMD . Across titles, last generation’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D is faster.
Recommended Videos The differences shrink at higher resolutions, but SaddyTech found that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is upwards of 10% faster than the Ryzen 9 9900X at 1080p. Even more surprising was that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D managed higher performance while consuming less power. In Counter-Strike 2, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D consumed 50 watts on average and reached a maximum of 63 degrees Celsius. The Ryzen 9 9900X with its larger core array sucked down 102W on average and reached 67 degrees.

Although it appears the Ryzen 7 7800X3D will remain the go-to CPU for gaming, SaddyTech didn’t run any productivity benchmarks.

But 3D V-Cache really makes the difference for games, and it’s clear the last-gen chip is still at the top of the stack.
