AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Beats 12th Gen Intel Core I9-12900KS By 16% In Shadow Of The Tomb Raider

This is one of the first tests conducted to compare AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Intel’s i9-12900KS in a gaming benchmark using Shadow of the Tomb Raider The results show that AMD performs better than Intel, especially at lower resolutions.

AMD released the Ryzen 7 5800x3d on October 19th, 2018. This processor is a beast and outperforms its counterpart by 16%.

AMD’s first Ryzen processor with 3D V-Cache technology seems to be a substantial advance for gamers—or, at the very least, fans of Eidos Montréal’s current Tomb Raider game. The first gaming benchmarks for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D were released today by Peru-based hardware site XanxoGaming, and they show that the CPU outperforms Intel’s latest Alder Lake-S flagship, the Core i9-12900KS, by as much as 16 percent in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and by as much as 21 percent in the standard Core i9-12900K/KF. The tests were carried out on PCs with various GPU and RAM combinations, with the game running in DirectX 12 mode at 720p. XanxoGaming has provided a link to a CapFrameX blog post explaining why he picked that resolution for the testing.

(Custom Settings – Low) Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Processor	AVG FPS	Baseline
5800X3D AMD Ryzen 7	231	121.58%
Intel Core i9-12900KS processor	200~	105.26%
Intel Core i9-12900K/KF (Intel Core i9-12900K/KF)	190~	100%

FIRST result IN GAMING of the 5800X3D AMD Ryzen 7 (XanxoGaming)

According to the statistics provided by CapFrameX from the same scenario (we took the time to thoroughly study the settings as well as the test scene), the A MD Ryzen 7 5800X3D would perform 14-15 percent better than a 12900KS and 20-21 percent better than an Intel Core i9-12900K.

Although the comparison isn’t exact, the Intel machine has an RTX 3090 Ti and DDR5-4800C40 with the identical test settings as ours.

First opinion — In IPC 3D V-CACHE does not enhance single core performance, but HIGHER CACHE compensates in game.

It has taken us a few hours to reproduce reliable results using this scene in 720p. It’s a first look at what will be shown in our final review of the 5800X3D AMD Ryzen 7 processor. We’ll do our typical benchmarks at 1080p Ultra, but we’re considering adding 720p results and how the AMD processor with the Intel Core i9-12900KF (the only one we have in hand) fares.

The 5800X3D AMD Ryzen 7 does not bring almost any improvement in productivity to its “predecessor” but could perhaps be a last gift to gamers to give the AM4 platform a final stamp. Would it be too much to ask for a Ryzen 5 5600X3D?
