![]() Overall, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is about 1.7% faster than the Core i9-12900K. The extra 元 cache on Ryzen 7 5800X3D makes a big difference, however. ![]() Keep in mind that the Core i9-12900K supports DDR5, though it doesn’t make a huge difference in games. ![]() Our tests were run at 1080p with an RTX 3090 and 32GB of DDR4-3200 memory. You can see how the two chips stack up on average in the chart below. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Core i9-12900K were both sold as gaming CPUs, so it only makes sense to start there. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D doesn’t support overclocking, unfortunately, though that comes with the upside of less power draw overall. The Core i9-12900K draws more than twice as much power than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and even more if you overclock it. Outside of specs, power is a big concern. There are some bandwidth- and latency-dependent applications that could also benefit from it, but it’s games where we’re seeing the largest benefit. That additional cache dramatically boosts the otherwise standard specifications to new heights of gaming performance. That’s more than three times as much as the Core i9-12900K. It has 64MB of 3D-stacked 元 cache on top of the die, which when combined with the normal 32MB, gives it 96MB of total 元 cache. Where the 5800X3D breaks new ground is in its cache. The AMD CPU sports a more modest 4.5GHz boost clock, a 200MHz reduction from the Ryzen 7 5800X it’s based on, while the Core i9-12900K reaches to new heights with a 5.2GHz boost clock on a single core and a 5GHz boost clock across all of them at once. The Intel Core i9-12900K has 16 total cores split between eight performance cores, and eight smaller efficiency cores. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a more traditional core layout of eight identical cores and 16 threads with simultaneous multi-threading. These two CPUs have very different hardware makeups, each representing exciting new directions for their respective companies.
