The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D beat the Intel Core i9-12900K by 21% in recent tests of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but which is better for gaming? The eight-core Ryzen 7 5800X3D is much cheaper than Intel’s 16-core Core i9-12900K processor, which is currently the leading 12-generation Alder Lake processor.
While the power consumption and cooling needs of the AMD processors are lower than their Intel counterparts, they may not be enough to make a big difference in the hi-end area.
While AMD’s performance may be better than Intel’s, we’ll have to wait and see how the Ryzen 7 5800X3D holds up in gaming. AMD’s new chip uses 3D V-Cache technology, which is designed to improve the performance of games.
AMD R7 5800X3D in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. As for comparison, the 12900KS hits ~200 FPS in this scene and the 12900K ~190 FPS.
The performance of the Ryzen is just amazing because the tested scene is very demanding/ memory-heavy.
