Ryzen 7 3800XT vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 3800XT is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3800XT has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Also, the Ryzen 7 3800XT has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3800XT has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
