I'm waiting for benchmarks. So far I'm not convinced 7950X3D will be better than 7950X, especially since there is no way scheduler will be able tell whether some thread benefits from more cache or from higher clocks, unless someone develops a very sophisticated one with AI like training capabilities? I haven't seen any kind of efforts of that sort (I'm gaming on Linux).
- chucky_z 4y agoLook at 5800X vs 5800X3D.
- shmerl 4y agoPretty marginal benefits for many workloads. And it's not directly comparable, because 5800X3D provides more cache for all cores. 7950X3D provides more cache only for half the cores. That creates a weird hybrid CPU. Half the cores have higher clocks and less cache, and half the cores have lower clocks and more cache. Your threads will be scheduled all over the place pretty randomly. So I'm not yet convinced it's going to be better than stock 7950X with higher clocks across the board. Actual benchmarks will tell.
