In terms of efficiency, power consumption and frames-per-second in particular, the new AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the most efficient processor in PCGH’s revised and updated benchmark cycle, following the delivery of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and its sister model the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D here.
Ryzen 7 7800X3D should participate in the post test
As mentioned by several sources, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D can be affected by the “Core Parking Bug” under certain conditions. The problem should usually occur when testers “downgrade” an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D or Ryzen 9 7900X3D. So the problem had to be investigated very carefully by PCGH as well.
The Efficiency Monster just got more efficient
That’s why CPU editor and author David Ney, who, as usual, was also in charge of the PCGH test for the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, tirelessly ran new benchmarks and tests with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D on Good Friday today and gave in return a comprehensive update.
The new numbers were definitely generated without the “Core Parking Bug”. They were entered into all standards, and associated transcripts and analyses were reviewed. This also changed the CPU rating for the better.

Without the potential impact of the “Core Parking Bug,” the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D was able to improve slightly in all relevant ratings in post-testing and thus achieve slightly more frames per second per watt.
PCGH was able to record the following changes in post testing:
- Ranking in games:
- 91.1% → 93.9%
- Evaluation in terms of efficiency:
- 2.58 fps per watt → 2.61 fps per watt
- evaluation:
- 83.0 per cent → 84.3 per cent
In applications, the CPU was about 1 percent slower, but that’s almost within the tolerances of the benchmark on the one hand, and on the other hand it’s negligible for the processed clients of gamers.
Nothing changes in the result and conclusion
The night test turned out to be positive for the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, even if the editors in the person of David Ney certainly did without the extra shift in recess. Of course, the “official final score” does not change, the youngest CPU of the Ryzen 7000X3D series (“Raphael-X”) is still at the top in terms of gaming and efficiency and only has to compete with the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
