The memory used to test the Ryzen 7 processor costs $265, while the DDR5 memory used with the Core i9 currently costs $480. This is the fastest memory we can use with the Ryzen 7 while running at a 1:1 ratio with the FCLK. This means all the testing you're about to see was gathered using the Core i9-12900K on the MSI Z690 Unify motherboard using G.Skill's Trident Z5 DDR5-6400 C元2 memory, while the Ryzen 7 5800X has been tested using DDR4-3800 CL16 memory with the MSI X570S Carbon Max WiFi. Personally, after having tested all four configurations for our day-one 5800X3D review a week ago, we found the DDR4-3800 vs DDR5-6400 comparison the most interesting, so that's what we've gone with. With each CPU claiming to be the best for gamers, we thought it'd make the most sense to test them with the best possible memory configuration. Whereas you'd buy the Ryzen 7 5800X3D because you want the best gaming CPU the AM4 platform has to offer. But we weren't convinced that'd make the most sense for these two CPUs, given AMD and Intel are pitching them as the ultimate gaming processors.Īs a gamer, you would only buy the Core i9-12900K because you want the best of the best, at least from Intel. Normally we'd just test both using low latency dual rank DDR4-3200 CL14 memory, for an apples-to-apples comparison.
One of our biggest concerns for this big benchmark was how we were going to configure each CPU. We'll be comparing the two head to head across 40 games at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, using a wide range of games from battle royale to real-time strategy titles, so there should be something for everyone. Today we're running a massive gaming benchmark comparison between the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Core i9-12900K.
