Overall & Gaming Performance
Since I also include games in this chart, the difference with the 13900K is smaller but high with the 7950X3D. I suspect that the Z690 mainboard I used probably impacted the performance of the i9-13900K, so I will try to get a Z790 one and re-run all tests.
HD gaming performance is higher than the 7950X3D and notably higher than the i9-13900K.
The gaming performance per dollar score of the 7800X3D is high!

Looking at the 2nd page – so it’s just a (low level) ppm driver lingering in the system that was likely ignored by amd installer after (other) reviewers switched the cpu ? techpowerup reviewer claims he had to reinstall windows.
If device manager/sc.exe or registry and/or powercfg.exe (or any combination of those) was all that it took to clean that up, that’s pretty funny.
I do know that gaming in 4k is mostly GPU bound. Nevertheless would you mind doing the same tests for games in 4k?
I believe there is no point in losing more time in every CPU review for 4K testing, even QHD, since the GPU sets the limits in these resolutions and not the CPU. Wish I had more time for every review, but I don’t.
