First seen in its server-bound Milan-X EPYC, AMD’s brought its 3D V-Cache technology to consumers with the new Ryzen 7 5800XD. With triple the L3 cache vs. the original 5800X, the right workloads could exhibit a notable performance-boost. For our first look at the 5800X3D, we’re tackling our usual assortment of workstation performance scenarios.
As you saw on the previous page, the copious amounts of extra cache found in AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D isn’t enough to guarantee a speed boost in a given scenario. We saw a nice uplift in Adobe’s Lightroom JPEG export test, but beyond that, the faster-clocked 5800X won every other battle.
Because that situation is largely unchanged in rendering, we’re going to let this page speak for itself. In every completely CPU-bound case, the 5800X wins out, simply because it sports faster clocks, and the extra cache isn’t beneficial to rendering a single frame.
The fact that the 5800X3D can’t beat out the 5800X in a specific scenario isn’t a real knock against the chip or technology, but it perfectly explains that you’ll need an appropriate workload to actually benefit from all of that cache (eg: image editing).
