R7 3700X VS 3800X Who is More Valuable

Recently we released an article The Return Guide of Old DIY Players, a must see guide for AMD's third-generation Sharp Dragon Accumulator This article has brought some concise and quick guidance to the old players who have been away from DIY for many years. However, in the process of communicating with readers, we also found some outstanding issues that readers care about.

For example, many netizens care about R7 3700X and 3800X, which is more suitable? Some careful netizens will also find that the number of threads in R7 3700X and 3800X cores is the same, and the maximum frequency is only 100MHz different, but the power consumption is 65W and 105W. Is there any mystery?

There are doubts about the frequency and power consumption of R7 3700X and 3800X

It is said on the Internet that the R7 3700X may have a "power wall". Despite the difference between the highest frequency and the R7 3800X, which is only 100MHz, the R7 3700X will be limited to the number of high frequency cores in order to achieve the ultra-low power consumption of 65W? If this situation really exists, the question of how to choose R7 3700X or R7 3800X should be reconsidered.

Since there are too few people in China who own R7 3800X, it is expensive to buy another one alone. So the author searched a lot of materials abroad. Recent youtube video blogger“ Benchmark PC Tech has launched a practical test on this problem. Let's see if the test results can help us.

Application test: little difference

The first is the testing of some applications, mainly involving video transcoding, Video conversion ， Compressed file , encryption and decryption, etc. These applications basically support multi-core and multithreading parallel computing. The challenge is CPU Overall computing power.

Stop talking nonsense and go straight to dry goods!

X264 video transcoding (the larger the value, the better, the difference is 3.5%)

Truecrypy encryption (the smaller the value, the better, the difference is 3%)

X265 video coding (the larger the value, the better, 3.7% difference)

7-Zip compress (The larger the value, the better, 2.4% difference)

Basically, among the four major commercial applications, the R7 3800X is only about 3% ahead of the R73700X. As for whether there really exists a "power wall", it is not so important, because after all, the performance gap between the two is not obvious. Obviously, the R7 3700X has a better energy consumption ratio.

From the perspective of price, R7 3800X is more than R7 3700X More than 12% more expensive , but only bring Average performance improvement of 3% 。 There is no doubt that from this point of view, the R7 3700X is more cost-effective.

Game test: almost no difference

The part of the game, let's directly put it out for summary. Although this video blogger has tested many projects and passed GTX 1080, GTX 1080 Ti, and RTX 2080 Ti and other different graphics cards were tested, but only one result was obtained: Almost no difference!

In fact, this outcome is not difficult to understand. As we all know, games are not sensitive to multi-core, but more dependent on frequency. The difference between the highest frequency of R7 3800X and R7 3700X is only 100MHz, so it is entirely reasonable that the following average frames are so close. This also verifies our previous prediction that there is almost no difference in game performance between the two.

Direct conclusion: Don't hesitate to go straight to R7 3700X!

《HITMAN 2016 》

Tomb Raider: Shadow @ 2K, RTX 2080 Ti

《FAR CRY 5》@2K、RTX 2080 Ti

Thank you for your reading, and thank you for the practical test "Benchmark PC Tech" has offered to you, which has solved our doubts.
