AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Top “gaming” CPU with MT perf boost

Photos 2/2: Affinity Photo, Topaz Labs AI Apps, ZPS X, ...

High gaming performance is something that is kind of expected from the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Compared to its predecessor (Ryzen 7 7800X3D), however, the cooling options have been greatly improved, paving the way for higher clock speeds. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D has thus advanced especially in terms of multithreaded, but also single-threaded performance. This makes this CPU with 3D V-Cache more versatile – better able to handle multiple usage scenarios.

Affinity Photo (benchmark)

Test environment: built-in benchmark.





Topaz Labs AI apps

Topaz DeNoise AI, Gigapixel AI and Sharpen AI. These single-purpose applications are used for restoration of low-quality photos. Whether it is high noise (caused by higher ISO), raster level (typically after cropping) or when something needs extra sharpening. AI performance is always used.

Test settings for Topaz Labs applications. DeNoise AI, Gigapixel AI and Sharpen AI, left to right. Each application has one of the three windows

Test environment: As part of batch editing, 42 photos with a lower resolution of 1920 × 1280 px are processed, with the settings from the images above. DeNoise AI is in version 3.1.2, Gigapixel in 5.5.2 and Sharpen AI in 3.1.2.



The processor is used for acceleration (and high RAM allocation), but you can also switch to the GPU

XnViewMP

Test environment: XnViewMP is finally a photo-editor for which you don’t have to pay. At the same time, it uses hardware very efficiently. In order to achieve more reasonable comparison times, we had to create an archive of up to 1024 photos, where we reduce the original resolution of 5472 × 3648 px to 1980 × 1280 px and filters with automatic contrast enhancement and noise reduction are also being applied during this process. We use 64-bit portable version 0.98.4.

Zoner Photo Studio X

Test environment: In Zoner Photo Studio X we convert 42 .CR2 (RAW Canon) photos to JPEG while keeping the original resolution (5472 × 3648 px) at the lowest possible compression, with the ZPS X profile ”high quality for archival”.

  1. How come Intel 12100F that even has no iGPU is better in value than 14700K in the first graph? (4K H.264, MultiCam Live Playback [avg. fps]) It’s a complete nonsense, you should review your results before posting

    1. Why are you operating with an iGPU that has nothing to do with those results ever? Do you know what “Live Playback” is in Adobe Premiere Pro? Do you know which processor is being loaded to what extent by which task? In the Reddit post you claim that our results show that the Core i3-12100F is the “best” processor for Multicam, which is not true – look for example at the 4K Prores 422 results, where the CPU performance is the bottleneck (where the Ci3-12100F is on the tail).

      Why not think about it and come up with a reasonable explanation of why it comes out the way it does in a given test? You don’t have to worry about us neglecting something or writing it wrong in the graphs. Sometimes it happens, but not in this case.
