Besides A review of the Ryzen 3000 processors was also published ahead of schedule, although it was supposed to appear only on Sunday, July 7th. This time, the German resource PCGamesHardware.de distinguished itself, which, of course, soon deleted the page with an overview of the Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 9 3900X processors, but the screenshots of the charts with the test results remained on the Web.
Both processors were tested on the new ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard, which is based on the AMD X570 chipset. The board received the latest BIOS version for correct operation of SMT and Turbo mode. The system was also equipped with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM with a frequency of up to 3200 MHz and a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card.
Recall that the Ryzen 7 3700X processor has 8 Zen 2 cores and 16 threads. Its clock speeds are 3,6/4,4 GHz. The chip also has 36 MB of L40 cache, 4.0 PCI Express 65 lanes and at the same time fits into a TDP of only 7 watts. The recommended price for the Ryzen 3700 329X is $XNUMX.
In turn, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X has 12 Zen 2 cores, which are capable of running on 24 computing threads. The base clock frequency is 3,8 GHz, and in Turbo mode the frequency reaches 4,6 GHz. The third-level cache is 70 MB, and the number of PCI Express 4.0 lanes is also 40. The TDP level of this chip is 105 W. The recommended cost is $499.
So, the processors were tested in various games at 720p resolution, where the dependence of performance on the processor is best seen (it does not "rest" on the video card). In gaming tests, both AMD chips were able to provide approximately the same performance, both minimum and maximum.
In Far Cry 5, the maximum FPS was quite close to that of the Core i7-7700K, but the minimum FPS of the Intel chip turned out to be higher. In Rise of The Tomb Raider, the Ryzen 7 3700X chip was on par with the Core i7-7700K, but the Ryzen 9 3900X was able to get ahead of this Intel chip. The processors on Zen 2 showed themselves quite well in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, where they turned out to be approximately on the same level with the Core i5-8600K.
Separately, it is worth noting the results of testing the Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 9 3900X in the Assassins Creed Odyssey game, where they were able to outperform the older Core i9-9900K by up to 6 FPS.
In Handbrake video encoding (30s, HEVT, 10bit, 140Mbps), the Ryzen 9 3900X is roughly on par with the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX (148 vs. 142 seconds), while the Ryzen 7 3700X can be compared to the Core i9- 9900K (212,8 vs 211,7 seconds).
In the notorious Cinebench R15, the Ryzen 7 3700X outperformed the Core i9-9900K in the multi-threaded test (2180 vs. 2068 points) and fell just a little behind in the single-threaded test (207 vs. 213 points, respectively). The Ryzen 9 3900X achieved the same single-threaded performance and was able to outperform the 18-core Core i9-7980XE in the multi-threaded test (3218 vs 3217 points).
Finally, with regard to power consumption. The older Ryzen 9 3900X, despite the higher number of cores, consumed less than the Core i9-9900K. In turn, the Ryzen 7 3700X turned out to be a little more “gluttonous” than its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 2700X, despite the fact that the TDP of these processors is 65 and 95 watts, respectively.
