It really suggests no one at AMD/Intel was talking to game developers. If they had been the devs would've surely showed them some testing that indicated just how cache-bound most games were.
@@Dr.WhetFarts TSMC figured out how to bond chips without micro bumps (the technique used in HBM). AMD got the bright idea to use it for cache. However the yields were atrocious and it took TSMC so long to perfect their own invention that AMD had V-Cache connecting pads on Zen 2 without ever bringing Ryzen 3000X3D to market. It wasn't until quite late in the Zen 3 cycle that they got it working with acceptable yields.

in theory, multithreading shouldnt matter. And for intensive tasks that is correct. For lighter loads like gaming.. wow BIG surprise.. it does matter and without you lose up to 25% performance.. Who could have known.
My guess is old Intel architecture reached its limits, Now they're reinventing new architecture for future improvements, and it's not surprising that it's not that good.
High five...I bought this CPU after 8 years of using legendary Sandy Bridge 2600k @4.8GHZ wich is working to this day in my Second PC and this was the best decision I made since buying GTX1080TI. This is still beast CPU and it eats I7 Core Ultra7 and sometimes I9 or Core 9for breakfast with two times lower power consumpion🤯 GOAT CPU🔥
@@jagermeisterhots Gamers can't win all the time. I have a 7950X3D so unless the 9950X3D blows all expectations in productivity there will be no need for me to upgrade. That said Zen 5 provides a near 20% uplift in compiler profiling which is basically half the reason (the other being regular code compile) I need as many cores as I can get. So while gamers are bored to tears or feel left out others are very happy with Zen 5. It remains to be seen what Arrow Lake will actually do once Intel get their act together.
i mean, my 10900k has lasted me insanely good for the soon 4 years i've had it, still runs really good in 3440x1440, ran a 4090 with it and it smashed everything, now i run a 4070ti and it still runs insanely good. a 5800x3d will be MORE than enough for the coming 3-4 years
The sad part about it there is absolutely no reason to get this over AMD. Not for productivity, gaming or even power efficiency. AMDs offerings are better in each of those categories. And that is not good. We need competition or the market won't move forward and consumers are going to get screwed over.
sadly the ONE thing I need from intel (quicksync) doesn't really have an alternative for AMD (that has the same support and abilities), but at this point I might as well get an AMD CPU and throw in an arc 310
True, but reducing power for the same performance is a necessary step for intel to get to a place where they can compete. 18A is the node that will either make or break intel (and competition). If they don't deliver someone should slap them with a kipper or something
AMD Is only at 25 per cent market share currently. Would like to see them get to 40 or more. With Arrow/Lunar, Intel has made significant changes to their architecture but this new approach hasn't translated into real world gains just yet. At least, with this approach, Intel's chips aren't as power-hungry any more. I'd like to see how Intel's 3d tile approach to chips with big/little cores evolves. Yes, we need a competitive Intel and making their chips more efficent is the first step.
Price increased because it went out of production only. 9800X3D reviews hit in a week or so. 20% improved ST perf and 30% improved MT perf + unlocked for OC on top. I have seen Far Cry 6 fps tests with 13%, 15% and 16% higher fps than 7800X3D.
I bought a 7800X3D for so cheap four months ago, and I cannot express how happy I am with its performance. I’m just shocked by how much the other chips are not smacking other chips for performance. I’m lucky too considering the price now.
Proud 7800x3D owner, what always impresses me is how it’s been the fastest on the market for so long now in terms of gaming, while also being among the least power hungry CPUs. Total slam dunk from AMD, it’s the CPU equivalent of the 1080TI lmao. (Seriously, 60w of power draw at 1080p?? Just wow.)
My i7-12700K at 1.23 volts reaches similar wattages while gaming. I still remember it gave me hundreds of fps on CSGO while drawing around 45 watts. When i first turned on the PC the voltages were broken at 1.41 volts and 220 watts on Cinebench for whatever reason, now it's 150. When i play PS3 games my 12700K is equivalent to a Ryzen 9 7900X, the 7800X3D isn't that impressive, it does pretty well because it boost IPC over vainilla Zen 4 which is mediocre. Back then when Intel made Alder Lake (Sandy Bridge 2.0) the e-cores were actually efficient and helpful. With Meteor Lake, they made Intel Bulldozer and Arrow Lake is Piledriver. They killed hyperthreading on the perfomance cores hurting 1% lows and frametimes and the switch to chiplets killed any real IPC gains.
I can just imagine Steve slowly losing more and more hope each time after seeing each consecutive result. Just one after the other, after the other, after the other. Great job Intel. You’ve let us down again! We do *want* to see you succeed you know!
This as meaningless as shaking your fist at Microsoft and announcing to the world you'll be running Linux😂 They don't care about you lil bro. Enterprise is where the monies at.
I usually play these videos on the background while I'm working, when the video started, I didn't hear the "Welcome back to Hardware Unboxed", which prompted me to open the video to see the horror, Steve is standing :o
It's probably even worse cost per frame compared to 7700 non X as those can be had for 200-220 $/€ and with couple small tweaks should perform like X variant.
Just look at the 5800X3D but knock a few FPS off the numbers mentally. That works for nearly all games. (GamersNexus did find some Final Fantasy game where the 5600X3D beat the 5700X3D because the game cares a lot about clock speed and 5700X3D has a slower clock speed, but otherwise the 5700X3D is nearly always just slightly below the 5800X3D on the charts)
Then go watch Gamers Nexus review, you'll be plesantly surprised by how well it holds up against Arrow Lake CPU's, I own one and believe me... the best choice I made in recent years for how cheap it was. 5800x3D is pretty much non-existent nowadays, there is no better option on AM4 than the 5700x3D.
It still cracks me up to see the top performing gaming CPU also sit at the lowest power consumption of the bunch. Intel isn't knocking the 7800X3D off the top any time soon.
They have exact problems like the first gen ryzen. Good for productivity, bad for gaming and high power usage. I had R5 1600, wanted to support AMD but in reality the chip was crap, barely had 60fps in GTA V.
@@kanta32100Except the fact that had the chance to utterly dominate year after year and now...this is just no excuse. The fact that a mere 7600X was outpacing these new units too is appalling.
@@musouisshin It was playable. But the cheapest i3 had over 100fps with the same RX480 gpu, settings maxed out ofc. Didn't buy new pc to play at low or medium.
By appearances the Windows 11 updates have pulled the 5800X3D back ahead of Alder Lake in gaming, and breaks even with the Arrow Lake chips tested herein as well as “lesser” Raptor Lake chips. Only the top Raptor and Arrow Lake chips beat it and even with Arrow Lake’s significantly improved efficiency they have to consume significantly more power to do it. Talk about impressive.
At least now it makes sense why they had to change the naming scheme.. Anything to make it slightly harder to compare directly with the 13th/14th gen equivalents.
Ryzen 9000 was underwhelming but of course we were promised a lot and while they're not bad, I could understand the major backlash. Intel's new offerings tried to temper our expectations and we were STILL disappointed on the gaming side, and not only that it came with stability issues that indicates that Arrow Lake was nowhere near ready to launch. At least from a productivity standpoint, Arrow Lake is shaping up to be decent, but for pure gamers, there's just no point. Especially if you're looking for value on a paltry budget...
I wanted to replace my good old 4790K for Arrow Lake. Even though I wanted a productivity focused build I can’t tolerate Arrow Lake being on par with intel 12th gen in Gaming. It‘s like they time traveled 3 years in the past.
Because intel arrow lake is currently leading in productivity. At least in my preferred 450€ price range which the 265k would have fallen in. 7950 is already slightly over my price range and 7950x3d is far off. Same with with Zen5. I think I can wait 2 more years and I hope that Nova Lake will be like arrow lake except it‘s actually good
@@andreasrs69Just bite the bullet and buy a 7950x which is going to be much better in productivity. You are already over 400€ , spending a little bit more for a better performance tier is worth it and clearly a much better choice than waiting 1 or 2 more years. Seriously unless you need to spend 50% more to achieve the next tier it is usually worth it to invest in it if the product is good
@@andersjjensen Since there's no Turin-X(server X3D) AMD gonna flood the market with X3D chip. discontinued 7800x3d was a good option as Turin were miles better than Genoa. According to Dr. Ian from TechTech Potato, Genoa X werent requested by customer. Customer buying X3D server chip doesnt do release cadence upgrade. basically Genoa-X might stay in the server for over 5years or more. Since AMD has reworked L3 cache in Zen5, i suspect 2nd Gen V cache for Zen5 are gonna be cheap to produce. hence AMD can flood the market with X3D chip.
This is actually a more expensive chip than raptor lake (which was already making almost zero margin) due to additional packaging, more expensive node, etc. There is nothing good about this chip.
i'll be fine for the next couple years with my 14700KF (5.5/4.4 all-core). upgraded recently from Z690 + DDR4 to Z790 + DDR5 and i cannot be happier that i didn't wait for this release.
its same specs as zen5/...85ns to 95ns...its smt option that is not needed for higher core count workload...the SMT and HT is only for low core count workload that application designed to tell gpu to wait or cpu busy...everything moves along assemble line since all computers run programs like that....its why we get higher fps while increase latency than game console who don't when program designed differently when console don't have full fledged OS...its base on RealTime OS method kernels
Did anyone see LTT point their review to HUB, stating it was more detailed, ie, HUB tested various Win versions. It's kind-of tragic Linus spent $1M on a testing lab and they still aren't that good, ie, they still don't understand all the nuances of game testing.
Testing approach is different, since the Ryzen 9000 incident Hardware Unboxed has used different versions of Windows to check if there are problems with it(In fact Arrow Lake is tested with W11 23H2 for better performance reasons), the LTT approach is more direct, they use the most recent system version(24H2) to run those tests and shown their results, so their tests and analysis are more simple.
Not having the 5700x3d in the Cost per Frame analysis is kinda criminal, because it would destroy anything on that table. The 14 games average for the 5800x3d is 165 so we can assume 156 Frames for the 5700x3d (-5%) That chip is 170€ where I live, but lets go with 200 Dollar, 1,28 Dollar per Frame, destroying everything on the Benchmark with still good FPS
bought the 5800x3d when it got released, i feel like this cpu will stay in my system for a very looong time. paired with my new rx 7800 xt it will play anything for a good while. and by the way i dont care about rt. i always disable it since i cant see the diference and dont like having my fps halved by it
The 9800X3D, even though it's going to be only 5%-10% faster than the 7800X3D, is going to make Intel basically irrelevant for gamers. People that use their PCs for work or workplaces that need a high core count CPU don't upgrade as often as avid gamers and enthusiastic consumers, and these guys will probably get either a 14900K or a 9950x, since they tend to be well educated on hardware. So basically you'll find Intel's new CPUs only inside prebuilts 😂
There's a scheduler issue. Some programs and games are using E cores when they should be using P cores. That's why the performance is so variable. This should be sorted soon.
So. He said the Ultra7 265K is better value compared to something AMD? When did he say that? Ofc it is compared to the Ultra9 285K that cost 50% more for 5-10% more performance.
I guess 1080ti of the CPUs will be either 5800x3d or 7800x3d. I bought my 7800x3d from microcenter, the bundle included msi b650 motherboard and cl36 6000 ram. I paid $450 for that bundle without taxes. When you compare that value with new-generation CPUs, the new generation doesn't make sense.
people before intel releasing arrow lake, 'not having smt is not a problem in games as most game don't need smt to run well'. intel after releasing the cpu, same people:- 'we are gonna stay silent'
Idk why people are so sure about themselves when they talk about semi conductor and microsystems technology lol. Zen 5/arrow lake shows how remarkably dumb much of the community is. Myself flamed first few days at the Steves thinking its a windows issue and 9700x is more efficient. I will admit it.
The double standard in these video titles and thumbnails is crazy. Like, seriously, take soke time to scroll through this channel's videos. Almost every Zen 5 video thumbnail reads "Bad" this "Flop" that, "Disaster", "Terrible value" etc. Especially the value one is comical as Intel's arrow lake performs worse than Intel's own previous gen, AND has the audacity to ask you to switch to a new mobo socket yet somehow it's "much better value" LMAO. Intel releases literal e-waste and the thumbnail reads MUCH BETTER VALUE with the fact that it's trash literally hidden in the small print. Not just this channel either, Linus does this too. Only reputable source who never does damage control for Intel is Digital Foundry. Now i want to clarify this, i'm not saying these reviews aren't stating the facts INSIDE the video, but often times i notice misleading thumbnails in favor of Intel.
@@samarkand1585 It takes 30 seconds to check the channels uploads in the last 6 months. There are exactly 11 videos that are clear examples of what i've said.
@@samarkand1585 If you can't see the problem in the Zen 5 review thumbnail reading "Flop" (objectively the best platform with no close competition) and this one reading "Much better value" (when it's factually the worst launch in Intel's history) , then your opinion is irrelevant to me.
I agree this launch seems weird for Hub, The went scorched earth with zen5 But all be told their was an uplift but AL get the kiddy gloves. Will admit not going to take hub’s opinions serious going fordward they seem to of been bought.
The result of AMD vs. Intel marketing. AMD promised insane uplifts that didn't materialize, and Intel was more honest about the performance before release (this time around).
@@johnlong6197i wouldn't go as far as to say that they've been bought but I sorta understand. We do need to understand that this is a completely new arc n it will take a bit of time to address certain bugs and performance issues.
@@256shadesofgreythis. Intel this time didn’t underline their performance but their step forward efficiency wise. We expected a 5000-7000 series performance uplift from 7000-9000 and it didn’t happen. Basically marketing wise AMD flopped
If you only wear tinted glasses and care about just gaming it is a flop. But in this case everything is a flop except x3d. But productivity benchmarks that does matter (rendering, code compilation, AI) got big uplift. Cost per frame is between 7900x and 9900x. but 265k is significantly faster in blender, code compilation cinebench than both. Only concern is photoshop 2025 but photoshop always was weird software in utilizing cpu so i assume it could be bug considering premiere is back to normal. I use computer not just for gaming but for some work related tasks as well. Some computers are workstations that don't need threadripper but well performing cpu with igpu on board. We also have here NPU, far better intel's av1 hardware encoding than AMD. Also looking at phoronix benchmarks power consumption for intel is lower during webrowsing etc. comparing to AMD.... So if i builded office computer or multitask computer I think Intel takes crown at 245k/265k level. 285k not necessery.
It's crazy to hear 250-400 FPS in games is weak performance. It's still way beyond we need. Good to see i5 12600k in the graphs. Set it 5ghz all core and you still fine.
Weak because it has to be compared to other CPUs . If this is a GPU review, of course, 250~400fps is not weak but that is not what we're comparing here.
I have a 7950X3D + XTX desktop and a Ryzen 7840U laptop (just so we're clear on me having a brand preference)... no I don't think so. AMD needs a fucking stomp in the face for diverting form their marketing practices. They were honest to withing a couple of percent with RDNA and RDNA 2 but lied through their teeth with RDNA 3. The same can be said for Ryzen up until Zen 5. At least Intel was closer on the mark with this one. Sure, the platform isn't baked yet, but with the discrepancies I've seen between channels (some actually get what Intel said, others have plonked results) I'm willing to cut Intel the benefit of the doubt. Once BIOSes and Windows is sorted Arrow Lake should land where Intel said to with a couple of percent. TL;DR: Misleading marketing should ALWAYS get companies roflstomped, and honest marketing should ALWAYS get them a fair review based on merit and value alone.
Wondering why in the last two reviews the 7600X is not included in the cost per frame graph. It seems like it would be at or near the top of the chart.
I think yeas but how looks like in the new test the "old" AM5 is the king in one test which is one of the important test for the gamers how much performance you get for your money...
Thank you for another excellent review! If there's one thing I missed, is something like a 5800x in the gaming results, just to see how far we've come from non X3D parts. :)
Now I understand why AMD let Intel “go first” before officially announcing the 9800X3D. Gaming performance isn’t everything, but Intel should be embarrassed.
Steve, thanks for the reviews, and all the testing to make them possible, I humbly request that future reviews talk about the iGPU and what performance looks like when using them.
Between AMD, Nvidia, and Intel the past few generations feel like the industry is imploding in on itself with the mishandled launches, lack of improvement, terrible marketing, and awful value. Take me back to Pascal's launch
The entire amd 3d v-cache series never fails to impress, its amazing how the 5800x3d is holding a battle against modern high-end cpus generations younger when it comes to gaming.
If that was the case, then by now AMD wouldn't exit. Intel was better than AMD for 13 years (2005-2018). Now Intel is the underdog. AMD has been over Intel for the last 6 years, and Intel needs some time to get up. History repeats itself.
The problem with symbolic refreshes is that while they make it look like you are supporting the socket for more than the usual number of generations (i.e. 3 instead of 2), they make subsequent underwhelming releases like this one look even worse in comparison. 265k would only be as as slow as a product from 2 generations ago (12th gen), but thanks to the unnecessary launch of the 14th gen, you can say it is 3 gens behind.
Love the content, HUB. A note on graphs... I find the colors quite difficult to distinguish. I'm not color-blind, but folks with red-green or blue-yellow color blindness will likely find these bars very difficult to read. I know it'd be a departure from the traditional HUB color scheme, but ColorBrewer has ready made color-blind safe schemes.
Have you seen Steve GN's overview of how the new Intel draws power not just from the 12V EPS rail? So you probably undercounted the power draw significantly.
Excellent 265K review. I liked that you used the EPS 12 V rails to measure CPU watts. This requires equipment most users do not have. Therefore I would also like to see the power of the entire computer without the monitor. It is clear that if gaming is the primary purpose of a computer Core Ultra should not be used. I would speculate that spreading performance cores around the CPU to reduce the thermal spike of a relatively cool core getting full thermal boost when a thread is passed to it from a hot performance core takes additional time because it is using different level 2 or level 3 caches.
Thanks for the review. It would be nice if you could add some older gen CPUs like 9900k in your benchmarks. I assume the 9900k is almost on par with 12600k, but still it would be nice to see if older gens like the 9900k are worth upgrading. For now I think I'll keep mine for at least one more generation, not feeling investing 700€ for underwhelming upgrade.
Reviewers: AMD 9000 series is rather underwhelming.
Intel: Wait until you ve seen our line up....

We have yet to verify the 9000 X3D parts performance gains. 9800X3D has 200mhz higher boost clocks and 500mhz higher base clock, it's obvious that it will set it self apart from 7000X3D.

Who ever came up with these X3D processors deserves a monument
The amazing thing is, watching the GN video about it all way back, it seems the whole idea was initially done as just a what-if experiement rather than a deliberate plan from the outset, so it could almost never have been a thing.
TSMC did. It is their 3D package system. Ryzen 3D would not be possible without TSMC :P
@@Dr.WhetFartsTSMC just handles fabrication. If anyone deserves the credit, it's the engineers at AMD.
It really suggests no one at AMD/Intel was talking to game developers. If they had been the devs would've surely showed them some testing that indicated just how cache-bound most games were.
@@Dr.WhetFarts TSMC figured out how to bond chips without micro bumps (the technique used in HBM). AMD got the bright idea to use it for cache. However the yields were atrocious and it took TSMC so long to perfect their own invention that AMD had V-Cache connecting pads on Zen 2 without ever bringing Ryzen 3000X3D to market. It wasn't until quite late in the Zen 3 cycle that they got it working with acceptable yields.

The sad part about it there is absolutely no reason to get this over AMD. Not for productivity, gaming or even power efficiency. AMDs offerings are better in each of those categories. And that is not good. We need competition or the market won't move forward and consumers are going to get screwed over.
sadly the ONE thing I need from intel (quicksync) doesn't really have an alternative for AMD (that has the same support and abilities), but at this point I might as well get an AMD CPU and throw in an arc 310
True, but reducing power for the same performance is a necessary step for intel to get to a place where they can compete. 18A is the node that will either make or break intel (and competition). If they don't deliver someone should slap them with a kipper or something
@@rustyshackleford7200will that work with another GPU? So in result we have RTX-something for games and intel 310 for quick sync?
AMD Is only at 25 per cent market share currently. Would like to see them get to 40 or more. With Arrow/Lunar, Intel has made significant changes to their architecture but this new approach hasn't translated into real world gains just yet. At least, with this approach, Intel's chips aren't as power-hungry any more. I'd like to see how Intel's 3d tile approach to chips with big/little cores evolves.

Proud 7800x3D owner, what always impresses me is how it’s been the fastest on the market for so long now in terms of gaming, while also being among the least power hungry CPUs. Total slam dunk from AMD, it’s the CPU equivalent of the 1080TI lmao.
(Seriously, 60w of power draw at 1080p?? Just wow.)
My i7-12700K at 1.23 volts reaches similar wattages while gaming. I still remember it gave me hundreds of fps on CSGO while drawing around 45 watts.
When i first turned on the PC the voltages were broken at 1.41 volts and 220 watts on Cinebench for whatever reason, now it's 150.
When i play PS3 games my 12700K is equivalent to a Ryzen 9 7900X, the 7800X3D isn't that impressive, it does pretty well because it boost IPC over vainilla Zen 4 which is mediocre.
Back then when Intel made Alder Lake (Sandy Bridge 2.0) the e-cores were actually efficient and helpful.
With Meteor Lake, they made Intel Bulldozer and Arrow Lake is Piledriver.
They killed hyperthreading on the perfomance cores hurting 1% lows and frametimes and the switch to chiplets killed any real IPC gains.

It's probably even worse cost per frame compared to 7700 non X as those can be had for 200-220 $/€ and with couple small tweaks should perform like X variant.

Same performance, less than half the price.
Just look at the 5800X3D but knock a few FPS off the numbers mentally. That works for nearly all games. (GamersNexus did find some Final Fantasy game where the 5600X3D beat the 5700X3D because the game cares a lot about clock speed and 5700X3D has a slower clock speed, but otherwise the 5700X3D is nearly always just slightly below the 5800X3D on the charts)

Ryzen 9000 was underwhelming but of course we were promised a lot and while they're not bad, I could understand the major backlash.
Intel's new offerings tried to temper our expectations and we were STILL disappointed on the gaming side, and not only that it came with stability issues that indicates that Arrow Lake was nowhere near ready to launch. At least from a productivity standpoint, Arrow Lake is shaping up to be decent, but for pure gamers, there's just no point. Especially if you're looking for value on a paltry budget...

Because intel arrow lake is currently leading in productivity. At least in my preferred 450€ price range which the 265k would have fallen in. 7950 is already slightly over my price range and 7950x3d is far off. Same with with Zen5.

Customer buying X3D server chip doesnt do release cadence upgrade. basically Genoa-X might stay in the server for over 5years or more.

Granted, I'm sure the remaining line up will take said spare.
The 5800X3D is holding up fantastically in gaming.
Did anyone see LTT point their review to HUB, stating it was more detailed, ie, HUB tested various Win versions.
It's kind-of tragic Linus spent $1M on a testing lab and they still aren't that good, ie, they still don't understand all the nuances of game testing.
Testing approach is different, since the Ryzen 9000 incident Hardware Unboxed has used different versions of Windows to check if there are problems with it(In fact Arrow Lake is tested with W11 23H2 for better performance reasons), the LTT approach is more direct, they use the most recent system version(24H2) to run those tests and shown their results, so their tests and analysis are more simple.
Not having the 5700x3d in the Cost per Frame analysis is kinda criminal, because it would destroy anything on that table.
The 14 games average for the 5800x3d is 165 so we can assume 156 Frames for the 5700x3d (-5%)
That chip is 170€ where I live, but lets go with 200 Dollar, 1,28 Dollar per Frame, destroying everything on the Benchmark with still good FPS
7800X3D for PRESIDENT!

The 9800X3D, even though it's going to be only 5%-10% faster than the 7800X3D, is going to make Intel basically irrelevant for gamers.
People that use their PCs for work or workplaces that need a high core count CPU don't upgrade as often as avid gamers and enthusiastic consumers, and these guys will probably get either a 14900K or a 9950x, since they tend to be well educated on hardware.
So basically you'll find Intel's new CPUs only inside prebuilts 😂
There's a scheduler issue. Some programs and games are using E cores when they should be using P cores. That's why the performance is so variable. This should be sorted soon.

We need a Black Ops 6 benchmark video. Everyone in my group went from 300 fps in MW3 to 150 fps in Blops 6.
I see that Intel re released the 12900K, great stuff...
I guess 1080ti of the CPUs will be either 5800x3d or 7800x3d. I bought my 7800x3d from microcenter, the bundle included msi b650 motherboard and cl36 6000 ram. I paid $450 for that bundle without taxes. When you compare that value with new-generation CPUs, the new generation doesn't make sense.
people before intel releasing arrow lake, 'not having smt is not a problem in games as most game don't need smt to run well'.
intel after releasing the cpu, same people:- 'we are gonna stay silent'
It is true that for gaming it doesn't matter terribly much. It's just that the CPU isn't very good regardless.
Idk why people are so sure about themselves when they talk about semi conductor and microsystems technology lol. Zen 5/arrow lake shows how remarkably dumb much of the community is. Myself flamed first few days at the Steves thinking its a windows issue and 9700x is more efficient. I will admit it.
I can just hear the Disappointment in Steve's Voice.
The double standard in these video titles and thumbnails is crazy.
Like, seriously, take soke time to scroll through this channel's videos. Almost every Zen 5 video thumbnail reads "Bad" this "Flop" that, "Disaster", "Terrible value" etc. Especially the value one is comical as Intel's arrow lake performs worse than Intel's own previous gen, AND has the audacity to ask you to switch to a new mobo socket yet somehow it's "much better value" LMAO.
Intel releases literal e-waste and the thumbnail reads MUCH BETTER VALUE with the fact that it's trash literally hidden in the small print. Not just this channel either, Linus does this too. Only reputable source who never does damage control for Intel is Digital Foundry.

If you only wear tinted glasses and care about just gaming it is a flop. But in this case everything is a flop except x3d. But productivity benchmarks that does matter (rendering, code compilation, AI) got big uplift. Cost per frame is between 7900x and 9900x. but 265k is significantly faster in blender, code compilation cinebench than both. Only concern is photoshop 2025 but photoshop always was weird software in utilizing cpu so i assume it could be bug considering premiere is back to normal. I use computer not just for gaming but for some work related tasks as well. Some computers are workstations that don't need threadripper but well performing cpu with igpu on board. We also have here NPU, far better intel's av1 hardware encoding than AMD. Also looking at phoronix benchmarks power consumption for intel is lower during webrowsing etc. comparing to AMD.... So if i builded office computer or multitask computer I think Intel takes crown at 245k/265k level. 285k not necessery.
I don’t think arrow lake is bad or so, and quite comparable to zen5. That said, I would skip both and wait for zen5 x3d…
It's crazy to hear 250-400 FPS in games is weak performance. It's still way beyond we need. Good to see i5 12600k in the graphs. Set it 5ghz all core and you still fine.
Weak because it has to be compared to other CPUs . If this is a GPU review, of course, 250~400fps is not weak but that is not what we're comparing here.

I don't think so. Zen 5% deserved criticism. Core -5% is just even worse.
zen 5% is flip flop its not amds first gen chiplet cpu.
Hardware unboxed is pretty objective, and I appreciate that. Unlike bias Linus
I have a 7950X3D + XTX desktop and a Ryzen 7840U laptop (just so we're clear on me having a brand preference)... no I don't think so. AMD needs a fucking stomp in the face for diverting form their marketing practices. They were honest to withing a couple of percent with RDNA and RDNA 2 but lied through their teeth with RDNA 3. The same can be said for Ryzen up until Zen 5.
At least Intel was closer on the mark with this one. Sure, the platform isn't baked yet, but with the discrepancies I've seen between channels (some actually get what Intel said, others have plonked results) I'm willing to cut Intel the benefit of the doubt. Once BIOSes and Windows is sorted Arrow Lake should land where Intel said to with a couple of percent.
TL;DR: Misleading marketing should ALWAYS get companies roflstomped, and honest marketing should ALWAYS get them a fair review based on merit and value alone.

nice, 265k is on par with 12700k in a lot of gaming benchmarks, good job intel!
Finally looks like the 9700X is the best non-3D gaming CPU....
7800x3d 😍😍
Bought 7800x3d and never looked back
Wondering why in the last two reviews the 7600X is not included in the cost per frame graph. It seems like it would be at or near the top of the chart.
I think yeas but how looks like in the new test the "old" AM5 is the king in one test which is one of the important test for the gamers how much performance you get for your money...
AMD 3% performance uplift
Intel: Performance regression
2024 for ya
It is not the first time it has happened for Intel. i9 11900k had worse multi threaded performance compared to i9 10900k
A win in Starfield is not a win. XD
I think the 7800X3D will go down in history as the best gaming CPU ever made, period.
No it wont… but best of its era… maybe. Lets see what 9800x3d will offer, except higher price and higher clock speeds…
Thank you for another excellent review! If there's one thing I missed, is something like a 5800x in the gaming results, just to see how far we've come from non X3D parts. :)
Now I understand why AMD let Intel “go first” before officially announcing the 9800X3D. Gaming performance isn’t everything, but Intel should be embarrassed.
Steve, thanks for the reviews, and all the testing to make them possible, I humbly request that future reviews talk about the iGPU and what performance looks like when using them.
I like the realistic memory pairings done here, nice work 100%
Between AMD, Nvidia, and Intel the past few generations feel like the industry is imploding in on itself with the mishandled launches, lack of improvement, terrible marketing, and awful value. Take me back to Pascal's launch
The games were better too
The entire amd 3d v-cache series never fails to impress, its amazing how the 5800x3d is holding a battle against modern high-end cpus generations younger when it comes to gaming.
I think Intel should just call it a day, they've been great for many years but their lack of innovation has killed them ultimately.
You meant :" they've been great 4 cores 8 threads for 7 years "?
If that was the case, then by now AMD wouldn't exit. Intel was better than AMD for 13 years (2005-2018). Now Intel is the underdog. AMD has been over Intel for the last 6 years, and Intel needs some time to get up. History repeats itself.
The problem with symbolic refreshes is that while they make it look like you are supporting the socket for more than the usual number of generations (i.e. 3 instead of 2), they make subsequent underwhelming releases like this one look even worse in comparison.
265k would only be as as slow as a product from 2 generations ago (12th gen), but thanks to the unnecessary launch of the 14th gen, you can say it is 3 gens behind.
Buying a 12900K combo for 400 bucks a couple years ago was insane value.
That PC is looking even better this time around!
Love the content, HUB.
A note on graphs...
I find the colors quite difficult to distinguish. I'm not color-blind, but folks with red-green or blue-yellow color blindness will likely find these bars very difficult to read. I know it'd be a departure from the traditional HUB color scheme, but ColorBrewer has ready made color-blind safe schemes.
When I bought the 7800X3D I felt dumb since it’d probably be outpaced soon.
Damn, I was wrong
Have you seen Steve GN's overview of how the new Intel draws power not just from the 12V EPS rail? So you probably undercounted the power draw significantly.
Excellent 265K review. I liked that you used the EPS 12 V rails to measure CPU watts. This requires equipment most users do not have. Therefore I would also like to see the power of the entire computer without the monitor. It is clear that if gaming is the primary purpose of a computer Core Ultra should not be used.
I would speculate that spreading performance cores around the CPU to reduce the thermal spike of a relatively cool core getting full thermal boost when a thread is passed to it from a hot performance core takes additional time because it is using different level 2 or level 3 caches.
Thanks for the review. It would be nice if you could add some older gen CPUs like 9900k in your benchmarks. I assume the 9900k is almost on par with 12600k, but still it would be nice to see if older gens like the 9900k are worth upgrading. For now I think I'll keep mine for at least one more generation, not feeling investing 700€ for underwhelming upgrade.
