Remember that 10nm Intel had was highly mature, which partly helped to push the clocks on it (until it was too much). This is a new node, this is a branch new micro-architecture, new packaging, tiles, etc. Basically it's more like Intel is paying technical debt here. If your main interest is gaming in general (not a specific set of games) there is nothing for you here much. Keep looking at any AMD X3D variant and you are good for multiple years. Simply put you choose your CPU (and everything else) based on workloads. Not to mention money spent on GPU side will provide you more too.
@@LegendaryPhenom them phasing out the 7800X3D supposedly means that this will just take it's place. Could be a good spot to get one 7800X3D for quite cheap next black friday though.
With the new architecture seeing improvements especially on AVX512 and pipelines to accommodate it, AMD really does focus on chasing the datacenter market. It's better to wait for 2026 or 2027 where the next zen architecture would be used for the next console generation, seeing actual improvements for gaming.
it's a crime against intel fanboys , loosing in heavy rendering application , losing to even ur old gen of cpus in gaming and still loosing in power consumption by more than 50% vs the 3d chips , oh the misery .....
Can't wait for Intel fanboys to tell me that aktschually, if you run these with DDR5 12000MT it magically gives you another 20% gaming perf, which you clearly can run stable with no issue, trust me bro my sample is totally average and does indeed exist.
@@mikem9536 At least the Core 2 series had them able to _talk_ to each other. The Pentium D had to have both chips talk to each other, through the front side bus. So the northbridge/memory controller had to perform double/triple duty to make multitasking viable.
This is only because the new gens are incredibly bad in performance uplift, but good for the consumer, might as well keep looking for bargains on older gen stuff.
Windows is the biggest culprit here again if we go with the same what was offered the reason for initial results of Zen 5. Then everyone said MS favors Intel. Well how is it now? The truth is that things will improve a lot after a while, exactly like with Zen 5. Will it make a difference? Well did it do it with Zen 5? No it di dnot, it just made the Zen 5 suck a bit less. The same will happen with Core Ultra. Windows will get an optimization update or a few in practice and after that Core Ultra will be meh instead of sucking.
This would be number two bulldozer moment for Intel. Pentium 4 was Intel's bulldozer moment. Clock for clock the original Pentium 4 was slower than the Pentium 3. One could say bulldozer was AMDs Pentium 4 moment since the Phenom II X6 beat it in many tasks.
No AMD just had an expensive Zen 4 launch and Zen 5 is meh. If they can do something with X3D then it will be so so for AMD this gen as long as they come back with a better uplift in Zen 6. If they make Zen 5 really cheap in 6 months it will only be bad for those who wanted more performance. Those who are upgrading 5+ year old systems will still get a great new CPU.
so far I've heard that multi-core on the 9800x3d is on a par with the other 9000-series multi-core performance, which sounds like it could be a great multipurpose cpu.
@@Rasenmaehermann89 well they failed, it’s slower not on par overall and the efficiency gains are only meaningful in full all core load other than that it’s pretty negligible
@@Rasenmaehermann89 No one makes a "goal" to make a slower CPU than your own, and much slower than competition. It's the spin your marketing guys decide to settle on when they realize they can't possibly massage this turd into any sort of desirable form. "We totally intended a downgrade! Also instead of looking at this real CPU, please imagine some non existent CPUs in a year or 2 or 5 that are actually great!"
@@NJ-wb1cz I think they couldn't keep getting bigger with the monolithic dies, switching to the stacked design that AMD moved to years ago. I'm guessing they made it work because they know this is the way forward, and couldn't go another year without releasing stuff even though it feels like 14th gen just came out. I think they'd have been better off selling these as 14th gen but only in certain skus that slot them where they'd go performance wise but calling them U chips since you can get similar performance, but at lower power. In short, they have to know it's not great, but it was 'close enough' for a first effort in a completely new fab architecture. They HAD to do somethign to counter 9000 series Ryzens, too.
Then again, since it is entirely likely that you will get only this chipset for one CPU series, ANY gamer should skip it anyway, making it moot, and only data customers that require a new architecture should apply, and that would be mostly servers, no gamers. This is released to market "for gamers" ONLY to sell new CPUs (and hence boards) for Dell et al, who could just sell more 12thGen instead but want "new hotness" to make people pay them, not actual work selling a 12th or 13th gen "old Intel" to people.
@@NadeemAhmed-nv2br Linux benchmarks for 285 are already in, and it still flops there as well, just to a slightly lesser degree. Still nowhere near Zen 5 gains. So no evidence of Zen 5 type of improvement on Windows in the future.
The 5800x3D is only 2.5 years old. Not sure why people are surprised. The 2600k from 2010 is STILL viable as a CPU today if you are happy with 60 fps. Now that's impressive. (5800x3D owner btw)

@@TotalXPvideos Zen5's 3D CPUs are different beasts. This is because now both of the CCDs gonna have vertically stacked caches. In comparison, 7000 series 3D CPUs with dual CCD configuration only had 1 stack of such cache. :)
It's like Intel only cares about topping cinebench performance charts. Kind of an odd hill to die on, considering it doesn't translate to performance anywhere else. What a stupid thing to do.
Esp. hilarious if you remember how Intel did their whole ridiculous "real world benchmarks!" marketing schtick when zen2's vastly higher core count crushed them in MT benchmarks with cinebench in particular.
Yeah, I just wonder, why that amazing single core performance doesn't reflect in games? I suspect they are simply optimising for the benchmarks, and not real world performance...
games do not fit in the cache of the cpu core they are most likely memory starved but... beeing memory starved with 7200MT and 8200MT .. both basically overclocking the MC is a tough one to swallow...
For gaming it is superb but in every other way it is a very outdated CPU. The core count will be crucial in the future. Even for gaming after a few years. It sounds quite unbelievable but 8 cores is just not enough any more or very soon at least.
@@jarnovilen5259 pretty massive speculation based on nothing, but go on, keep sayin currently best CPU (for gaming) is gonna be outdated in a few years LOL
Imagine building an entire empire on hyperthreading, and then pulling the rug from underneath everything. At least for Alder and Raptor Lake, all developers had to do was prioritize the P-Cores, but even that took YEARS.
Intel when 5800X3D releases: "Those chips are a trouble. We should make note of it moving forward." [a few years and release of 7800X3D later] "We've closed the gap between us and X3D. Wait, that's the wrong X3D!"
@@lucazani2730 They were. It was called Adamantine and was supposed to work for both CPUs and GPUs. But insiders have leaked that it didn't pan out, or didn't pan out quickly enough, so it got axed. For reference AMD had the connecting pads for 3D V-Cache already on Zen 2, but the bonding yields were so atrocious that it never became a product. TSMC developed the basic bonding method, but AMD did a lot of the heavy lifting as a willing guinea pig. Intel probably realized that it was nowhere near as easy to do as the theory implied, and now AMD is reaping the rewards of perseverance.
what a mess, from Intel as a premium company to a something that seems completely improvised, everything seems a patch of a patch, first the "efficiency cores" and removing AVX512, then removing SMT ... while still using lots of power and not able to compite on gaming performance ...
@@lharsay But by "Broken" I suspect it was the Ring Bus couldn't get the faster speed needed to keep those cores fed, and trying to force it was why 14th Gen and the voltage fried (permanently) the raptor cove chips, and to avoid that, they had to dial back the bus speed, to keep the voltage in check. And therefore it was either starve those threads OR not have SMT.
@@lharsay From what MLID says Intel sources told him, the plan was to phase out HT in preparation for rentable units that would've come with the now cancelled Beast Lake next gen. Getting HT working properly apparently seemed like wasted effort in that light. (They might've originally even planned rentable units for Arrow Lake, not sure I remember that correctly.) With the BL cancellation, not sure if we'll ever see rentable units at all, or if that didn't actually pan out like expected. What a mess.
If you cant buy 13th/14th gen because they blow up, and you can't buy amd 7000 because its out of stock, then this makes the recent prices drops to ryzen 9000 look AMAZING
Yes, with the price drop & updated BIOS, AMD 9000 CPUs are a steal compared to ARL. If you’re staying with Intel, find a 12900k & revel with the last decent CPU that Intel ever had!
@@tringuyen7519 Intel 13&14th i5 and i7 are just fine with UEFI/microcode updates. No problems and a 5 years warranty. And decent performance and very good prices. Only the efficiency is poor. But a 14600kf for 200 USD is the best CPU for the price and with a HUGE margin.
7200Mhz and 8200Mhz memory. Damn, I'd rather buy 6000Mhz cl30 for 85$ and pair it with Ryzen 7600 or 7700 and get similar gaming as this core ultra wowza chip that costs how much, 600 or more dollars?
I run the same G-Skill Trident Z5 Neo kit in DDR 5 6000Mhz Cl30 that HUB uses, it was a 32GB kit bought in 2023 prices, still about the same at $112.99 on Newegg.
Issue is Intel kneecapped the ring bus clock because it was probably the reason why 13th and 14th gen chips were frying themselves to death. This just means that memory speed just doesn't do much for gaming and daily tasks anymore. I'm just happy that Ryzen is optimized for cheap stuff like 6000-6400 low latency ram.
The 6000MHz cl36 DDR5 will probably be the memory sweetspot until DDR6 ram arrives, it's basically the 3600MHz DDR4 all over again in the sense that you know it will be good til it's phased out
It may be literally true simply due to the production process. What they should've done, is price the models according to their performance, not some made up positioning

What is this cope. It's a terrible generational improvement for an almost 2 years wait. There WERE even regressions, and they were not infrequent. The "power reduction" wasn't even really there compared to non-x Zen 4 CPUs, and efficiency only improved moderately in productivity (and barely improved in gaming if at all) compared to non-x Zen 4. The price doesn't make sense compared to Zen 4, X or not. With the right price reductions, sure, it's not inherently bad. They'd be good CPUs given the right prices. But at these prices, they are worse than AMD's own offerings.
@@w7bUxhwRYUo8Lv AMD AMD AMD... it's not about AMD, it's how bad Intel is. Different perspective. If two companies try to reduce the TDP but one regresses while the other manages to still improve, then obviously we don't pick on the more successful one.

Great video. What stands out is that in the CPU intensive gaming benchmarks where Arrow Lake performs way under expectations, both power draw and cpu temperature follow the downward trend, yet cpu usage does not. It all points towards Windows/Intel/Game Engines not scheduling cores in the most effective way, similarly to what we saw on Ryzen/Windows not too long ago. I expect patches to be incoming, or that's what I hope at least, for the sake of healthy competition.
@@gauravrai2736 that's because it's a dx9 engine. meaning it's meant for a single core. they might sell starfield as a dx12 game, but at it's heart the game engine is still basically a single core engine.
I'm still blown away by how well the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is near the middle of the pack in gaming performance with especially high 1% lows. In every game, even when it was dead-last, it still had a 1% low higher than 70FPS. At this rate, it will still be relevant for gaming in 2030!
So it seems to perform really well with Starfield's ancient engine that was mostly designed in the low core count eras but it completely falls apart in multi core heavy games like Cyberpunk or Homeworld.
Question - how do you get around the activation limits when benchmarking? IE, cant change the hardware more than 3 times before you have to wait 24 hours to resume?
Why would any reviewer comment benchmarks like "the CPU wins this benchmark, but it is bad overall"? I would accept if such conclusions are made in form "it wins N benchmarks, it loses M benchmarks".
I love my 7950X3D. What an amazing blend of good productivity performance (Handbrake, etc) and gaming. The 9950X3D would only be superior if it has cache on all the CCDs, eliminating the one concern with messing up the core parking on 7950X3D (no issues so far on that BTW).
The likes of handbrake are likely to benefit massively from AVX in the near future, and on Linux encoding can be up to 20% faster even without it already. I'm pretty sure the people stuck on Windows will realize in a year or so that Zen 5 was actually an excellent cpu once the optimizations in apps start rolling in
@@arthurion You don't even have to do that on windows 11. You can just control alt delete and tell windows that the program is a game if it fails to auto detect and it will handle the core allocation correctly.

@@andersjjensen SUrprised pikachu face got me LMAO, thats accurate, AMD after failed launch = drop price by 50-60$ (GPU dept mostly) or push bios Updates for performance or GIVE GAME BUNDLES Uw, meanwhile intel after massive Hardware + software defect.... uhhhh We dont know whats happening, 6 months later... Try to keep reaching to customer support... EVEN if they reject an RMA
This is sounding like if it was a car it would be a recall, because the fuel tank is scrapping the floor while they are telling you to use some cable ties to lift it.
If I understand correctly...the Intel benchmarks were done on Windows 23H2...and the AMD ones on 24H2...because the Intel processors on Windows 24H2 were even slower!!
13:46 just saw a 12600KF + board + 16 GB ram for $230 at micro center. So I can buy that and be better off in photoshop instead of brand new and exponentially more expensive Intel AI PC garbage. MSRP $650. But at least they'll hide their self destructing CPUs and try their damndest to not honor the warranty, so really that's what you're paying for ♥️
Some Intel CPU's and bundles can be had for a VERY competitive price at the moment. So competitive that honestly nothing else makes much sense unless you really need the top tier power.
I love all these tech hardware reviewers with overly dramatic thumbnails saying what a bad cpu this is. Intel posted slides showing the gaming performance weeks ago.

To be fair this is TSMC's node, so it's not entirely their fault. Their weird decision to drop hyperthreading also plays a part of this.
Remember that 10nm Intel had was highly mature, which partly helped to push the clocks on it (until it was too much). This is a new node, this is a branch new micro-architecture, new packaging, tiles, etc. Basically it's more like Intel is paying technical debt here. If your main interest is gaming in general (not a specific set of games) there is nothing for you here much. Keep looking at any AMD X3D variant and you are good for multiple years. Simply put you choose your CPU (and everything else) based on workloads. Not to mention money spent on GPU side will provide you more too.

Windows is the biggest culprit here again if we go with the same what was offered the reason for initial results of Zen 5. Then everyone said MS favors Intel. Well how is it now? The truth is that things will improve a lot after a while, exactly like with Zen 5. Will it make a difference? Well did it do it with Zen 5? No it di dnot, it just made the Zen 5 suck a bit less. The same will happen with Core Ultra. Windows will get an optimization update or a few in practice and after that Core Ultra will be meh instead of sucking.

Intel has been sitting in Bulldozer territory for years now. And AMD is skirting the sidelines. Gaming hardware is really depressing these days.
No AMD just had an expensive Zen 4 launch and Zen 5 is meh. If they can do something with X3D then it will be so so for AMD this gen as long as they come back with a better uplift in Zen 6.

I love my 7950X3D. What an amazing blend of good productivity performance (Handbrake, etc) and gaming. The 9950X3D would only be superior if it has cache on all the CCDs, eliminating the one concern with messing up the core parking on 7950X3D (no issues so far on that BTW).
Yes, and you can also disable half the cores to make it the same as the 7800X3D.
9900X3D and 9950X3D will have 3DV cache on both CCDs, im waiting what AMD brings up with these two
The likes of handbrake are likely to benefit massively from AVX in the near future, and on Linux encoding can be up to 20% faster even without it already.
I'm pretty sure the people stuck on Windows will realize in a year or so that Zen 5 was actually an excellent cpu once the optimizations in apps start rolling in
@@windfire5380 I'm considering buying a lightly used 7800x3d or 7950x3d for $300-$350 as people look to upgrade. Undeniable value.
@@arthurion You don't even have to do that on windows 11. You can just control alt delete and tell windows that the program is a game if it fails to auto detect and it will handle the core allocation correctly.
Steve is standing: Oh No... bad news
Enthusiast PC hardware is such a mess right now
This reminds me when Intel was beaten by Intel. Back in 2021, when the 10900K was beating the 11900K.
All of a sudden, Zen5 doesn't look too bad...
The main difference between Intel and AMD is that if AMD stuffs up they are fairly quick to adjust pricing accordingly. Intel pretends in never happened and then does the surprised Pikachu face when their earnings say "People didn't like that".
@@andersjjensen SUrprised pikachu face got me LMAO, thats accurate, AMD after failed launch = drop price by 50-60$ (GPU dept mostly) or push bios Updates for performance or GIVE GAME BUNDLES Uw, meanwhile intel after massive Hardware + software defect.... uhhhh We dont know whats happening, 6 months later... Try to keep reaching to customer support... EVEN if they reject an RMA
Steve is standing! Also, we owe Zen 4 and Zen 5 an apology.
This is sounding like if it was a car it would be a recall, because the fuel tank is scrapping the floor while they are telling you to use some cable ties to lift it.
I suspect the performance can be explained by the lack of SMT. Would be interesting to compare to 9950X and 14900K with SMT disabled.
The move from monolithic was always gonna be a mess the 1st gen
Anything that isn't monothic is objectively trash for gaming and IPC.
My 12700K still has higher IPC than Zen 4 chips.
If I understand correctly...the Intel benchmarks were done on Windows 23H2...and the AMD ones on 24H2...because the Intel processors on Windows 24H2 were even slower!!
yes, by 10% per Steve. Yikes.
13:46 just saw a 12600KF + board + 16 GB ram for $230 at micro center. So I can buy that and be better off in photoshop instead of brand new and exponentially more expensive Intel AI PC garbage. MSRP $650. But at least they'll hide their self destructing CPUs and try their damndest to not honor the warranty, so really that's what you're paying for ♥️
I would try to get an 8 core. The 12700k doesnt look bad at all and is barely any more expensive.
Can i ask should i still get 12 gen with the windows stability issues? Started buying pc parts for my teen kids, was going get 12400.@nicane-9966
Some Intel CPU's and bundles can be had for a VERY competitive price at the moment. So competitive that honestly nothing else makes much sense unless you really need the top tier power.
It's a good CPU.
That Cyberpunk/Homeworld data looks like Intel is trying to help Longsoon beat them in the midrange faster.
Yeah having one of the P cores randomly drop to 800MHz from 5.7GHz certainly doesn't help when all of them are in use.
@@lharsay If there wasn't anything running on it there's no reason it shouldn't clock down for caster cooling.
Wow this is not even a dud like the Zen 5.
But total grabage on an incredible level.
I love all these tech hardware reviewers with overly dramatic thumbnails saying what a bad cpu this is. Intel posted slides showing the gaming performance weeks ago.
