Comparison of the two processors

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the direct successor of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Both processors have 8 CPU cores and can process 16 threads in parallel. This is made possible by AMD's simultaneous multi-threading technology, which fills gaps in job processing directly with an additional "thread" task.

Both processors have a 96 MB level 3 cache. 32 MB of this is normal level 3 cache, as used in many AMD processors. In addition, both processors have 64 MB level 3 cache, which is connected to the CPU via a 3D stacking process.

This larger level 3 cache allows the processor to cache much more information and thus process some tasks faster. Current CPU-limited PC games can also benefit from a larger cache. In practice, however, this is only really noticeable in very few borderline scenarios. Since the graphics card is the limiting component in most games, the normal user only needs an average, fast processor that doesn't slow down the graphics card.

Both the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D can connect 128 GB of RAM. The newer AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D can already use all the advantages of the AM5 platform, e.g. DDR5-5200 memory and PCIe 5.0. The memory bandwidth is 94.5 GB per second, with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D reaching a maximum of 51.2 GB/s.

While faster RAM definitely brings advantages in some applications and games, no private systems can currently benefit from the twice the bandwidth provided by PCIe 5.0 compared to PCIe 4.0. This is also due to the fact that the fastest graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD still use the PCIe 4.0 standard.

Only M.2 SSDs are already available for the PCIe 5.0 standard, but here too the benefit is usually negligible in practice.
