Processing Power

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a 8-core / 16-thread processor based on the Vermeer (Zen3) (2020−2022) architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm, 12 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 4.5 GHz from a base frequency of 3.4 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. With a massive 96 MB (total) L3 cache (3D V-Cache technology), this processor has a significant gaming advantage — the large cache drastically reduces memory latency in game engines., plus 512 kB (per core) of L2 cache and 64 kB (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 28,298, placing it in the High-End performance tier as a Aging generation product.
