In this CPU comparison, we compare the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.
We compare the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8 core processor released in Q4/2020 with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D which has 8 CPU cores and was introduced in Q4/2020.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is a 8 core processor with a clock frequency of 3.80 GHz (4.70 GHz). The processor can compute 16 threads at the same time. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D clocks with --, has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 16 threads in parallel.
Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.
Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

Memory & PCIe
Up to 128 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D supports a maximum of 128 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s enabled.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has a TDP of 105 W. The TDP of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is 105 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has 36.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 7 nm. The cache of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is at 100.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 7 nm.
The Cinebench 2024 benchmark is based on the Redshift rendering engine, which is also used in Maxon's 3D program Cinema 4D. The benchmark runs are each 10 minutes long to test whether the processor is limited by its heat generation.
The Multi-Core test of the Cinebench 2024 benchmark uses all cpu cores to render using the Redshift rendering engine, which is also used in Maxons Cinema 4D. The benchmark run is 10 minutes long to test whether the processor is limited by its heat generation.
Cinebench R23 is the successor of Cinebench R20 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.
Cinebench R23 is the successor of Cinebench R20 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The multi-core test involves all CPU cores and taks a big advantage of hyperthreading.
Geekbench 5 is a cross plattform benchmark that heavily uses the systems memory. A fast memory will push the result a lot. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.

Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The single-core benchmark only evaluates the performance of the fastest CPU core, the number of CPU cores in a processor is irrelevant here.

What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The multi-core benchmark evaluates the performance of all of the processor's CPU cores. Virtual thread improvements such as AMD SMT or Intel's Hyper-Threading have a positive impact on the benchmark result.

In the Blender Benchmark 3.1, the scenes "monster", "junkshop" and "classroom" are rendered and the time required by the system is measured. In our benchmark we test the CPU and not the graphics card. Blender 3.1 was presented as a standalone version in March 2022.
Some of the CPUs listed below have been benchmarked by CPU-monkey. However the majority of CPUs have not been tested and the results have been estimated by a CPU-monkey’s secret proprietary formula. As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd.
Cinebench R15 is the successor of Cinebench 11.5 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.

Efficiency of the processor under full load in the Cinebench R23 (multi-core) benchmark. The benchmark result is divided by the average energy required (CPU package power in watts). The higher the value, the more efficient the CPU is under full load.
The CPU-Z benchmark measures a processor's performance by measuring the time it takes the system to complete all benchmark calculations. The faster the benchmark is completed, the higher the score.

With these two processors, not only is the name quite similar, but the equipment is also very similar.
These two models are eight-core processors that support hyperthreading, which means that 16 threads are available to you if required. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has a free multiplier with which you can overclock it, this is denied to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
The clock frequencies are also slightly different. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has a standard clock of 3.80 gigahertz and a maximum turbo clock frequency of 4.70 gigahertz. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly lower standard clock of 3.40 gigahertz and the maximum turbo clock is also slightly lower at 4.50 gigahertz.
In terms of performance, this small difference does not make a big difference. Unfortunately, we only have one benchmark for Geekbench in our database for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, but the values support the assessment mentioned above.
Both processors do not have an internal graphics unit, so a dedicated graphics solution must be connected via the 20 PCI Express version 4.0 cables available on both processors.
The processors each have 2 memory channels and support up to 128 gigabytes of DDR4-3200 RAM. ECC memory, i.e. memory with automatic error correction, also supports both models. The processors then differ again in the size of the L3 compartment. While the level 2 cache is identical on both at 4.00 megabytes, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has a level 3 cache of only 32.00 megabytes, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a 96.00 megabyte level 3 cache.
Both processors were released together in the fourth quarter of 2020 and they are both manufactured using the 7-nanometer process and are based on the AM4 socket.
