Ryzen CPU price comparison: 7900X3D, 7700X and 5900X cheaper than ever
The AMD CPU, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, was recently introduced and showed an impressive combination of high performance and energy efficiency in the test. The new Ryzen 7000 with 3D V-Cache is currently the best gaming CPU, as confirmed by the PCGH CPU performance index and numerous gaming benchmarks. In applications, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D also shows strong performance, although it doesn’t quite reach the level of the 7950X. The larger L3 cache has fewer advantages here, and the 7950X3D cannot fully compensate for the plus in TDP and clock frequency of the previous top model for socket AM5. Nevertheless, the CPU review from PC Games Hardware shows that the best gaming processor is also very energy efficient in applications like Cinebench and offers a lot of performance per watt. In the meantime, we have also been able to test the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, which, in contrast to the coveted 7950X3D, is comparatively readily available. As expected, it’s not quite on the 7950X3D level, but it’s still one of the fastest gaming CPUs and remarkably efficient. Of course, in this CPU price comparison, we also take a look at Ryzen processors for sockets AM4 and AM5 that have been available for some time, such as the popular Ryzen 7 5800X3D.

Price development for AMD CPUs: New low prices for several Ryzen
If you were hoping for a widespread price drop on other Ryzen processors after the release of the 7950X3D and 7900X3D, then it didn’t come true. But that doesn’t mean there haven’t been exciting moves since the last AMD CPU price comparison in late February. With most processors there were only changes of a maximum of 5 euros, but with three chips new low prices were reached – the CPUs have never been cheaper. These are the Ryzen 9 5900X and the Ryzen 7 7700X, which are around 20 euros cheaper than the price check the week before last. The price drop is particularly large for the new Ryzen 9 7900X3D, which has become more than 40 euros cheaper. This makes the 12-core processor an all the more interesting alternative to the 7950X3D, because the AMD top model is still out of stock at all retailers. The 5800X3D, which is still in high demand, has slipped from 1st place to 5th place in the Ryzen bestsellers. In this case, too, availability is the problem, but luckily the CPU is still in stock at retailers other than Amazon.

If you own a motherboard with AMD’s AM4 socket, the Ryzen 5000 CPUs represent the most powerful processors to consider for an upgrade without replacing the motherboard and memory. For first generation motherboards like X370, B350 and A320, you should make sure that the chosen CPU is officially supported and the UEFI is updated before installing the new Ryzen CPU. If application performance is paramount, the Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X are good upgrade options. If the gaming performance is to be as high as possible, we recommend the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which is one of the fastest gaming CPUs due to its large L3 cache. If an integrated graphics unit is important, the Ryzen 7 5700G and Ryzen 5 5600G models stand out. If you don’t expect high frame rates and are willing to play with low details and a reduced resolution like 720p, these chips can offer sufficient gaming performance in many titles even without a dedicated graphics card.

With a Ryzen CPU for the AM5 socket, only DDR5 RAM can be used, since DDR4 RAM is not supported by these processors and accordingly there are no AM5 socket mainboards with DDR4 RAM slots. Since the price difference between DDR5 SDRAM and its predecessor is no longer significant, upgraders should not hesitate. An upgrade to an AM5 socket system also enables the use of PCI Express 5.0 – provided the right mainboard is used. The Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 5 7600 models show that the namesakes with an “X”, i.e. Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 5 7600X, are not only faster, but often cheaper – for many users therefore probably the better option. The integrated graphics unit of the Ryzen 7000 CPUs is less powerful than the Ryzen 7 5700G or Ryzen 5 5600G and is hardly suitable for older games. Of the brand new models with 3D V-Cache, 7950X3D and 7900X3D, only the latter is in stock at retailers.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Ryzen 5 7600X3D Simulation: Eight and six cores with 3D V-Cache
“No matter which comparison you draw, the simulations of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Ryzen 5 7600X3D show what awaits us from April. Because then the eight-core will appear, at least officially, but there is still no trace of the six-core, but who knows what else AMD is planning. However, the numbers also show why AMD only distributed the 16-core for the tests: Only then was AMD able to beat Intel Raptor Lake in almost every respect. According to our calculations, a Ryzen 7 7800X3D does not quite succeed. This lines up more in the direction of the Core i7-13700K and only rarely nibbles on the i9-13900K. The six-core Ryzen 5 7600X3D is just barely slower, the same applies.” That was an excerpt from the article with simulated Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs.
