Summary
As great as the Ryzen 7 5800X3D performed in gaming, the landing in the even tougher everyday routine is now just as hard. Yes, in direct comparison with the Ryzen 7 5800X, it is often just as fast or even loses some performance in direct comparison due to the lower clock. Depending on the application portfolio, you usually achieve at least a perceived tie, which is unfortunately not reflected in the price. Once again, the marketing add-on “gaming” is used to make money without being able to score equally well in other application areas.
Of course, the chiplet with the piggyback cache is more expensive and ties up resources that are then missing in the margin-rich server division. But this constellation with the slightly better chip, the huge cache and the clock disadvantage will not play a role in normal office and workstation routine. Intel currently has the more balanced portfolio and even the Ryzen 9 5900X, which was offered much cheaper than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in some places, will probably be the more sensible alternative for work.
However, what is really amazing is the fact that the larger cache makes so much more of a difference in comparison for very many games than for normal applications from the production area (apart from a few exceptions like SRMP). Those who rather want to work should therefore better keep their hands off the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in most cases, because what is offered is simply too little in relation to the other products. That the Ryzen 7 5800X3D cannot always show its cache advantages was also quite clear to me in advance. But I wouldn’t have thought at the beginning that it would turn out so clearly in the end.
The conclusion is clear and quickly drawn: The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a great gaming (and probably also server) CPU, which can hardly benefit from the combination with the huge cache in a simple workstation and unfortunately costs a lot of money. Those who want to work are often faster with a Ryzen 9 5900X, for example, and those who like it efficient should also take a look at the Intel Core i7-12700K, which I consider to be the better offer in the midfield together with the i5-12600K and i5-12500. Intel has made astonishing gains in efficiency in the part-load range with ADL, so you have to be fair, of course. So, in the end, the question of the overall system consisting of CPU, motherboard and memory will also be decisive for what you buy. However, a real upgrade would only be possible with a compatible AM4 system.
The tested CPU is a self-procured, retail CPU and was not provided by AMD. The motherboard and memory are from retailers and MSI, respectively, and were only provided on the condition that the lock periods for these products were adhered to. Thus, no influence was exerted either.
