The CPU was paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card and MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk motherboard. The five games tested in 1080p include; Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 5, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Metro Exodus, and Star Control.

Of the five games, Assassin's Creed saw the biggest performance bump, with the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D being 35% faster than the Intel Core i9-13900K. That said, the second biggest result was for Far Cry 5, which was 12% faster. Taking the average across these five games and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is 12% faster than the Intel Core i9-13900K.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7000X3D is the new flagship from AMD, a 16-core CPU with AMD's 3D V-Cache technology, a base clock of 4.2 GHz, and a TDP of 120W. The benchmarks arrived via Twitter user Chi11eddog, where the new X3D CPU was also compared to the non-3D V-Cache Ryzen 9 7950X, with the following results.
