Ryzen 9 7900X3D vs Ryzen 9 7900 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D beats the Ryzen 9 7900 in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 7900 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 7900X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 9 7900. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 9 7900X3D 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 9 7900X3D has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
