It's always boring for the DIY market this year, and there seems to be a lack of heavyweights in the major industries. This is especially true in the two areas of CPU and graphics card. However, there are still some bright spots in the CPU market, for example, AMD launched the Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor built for gamers, and Intel launched the Core 14th generation processor here, but the performance improvement is not large, so it is scolded by players as toothpaste.
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is known as the God of Gaming U because of its 3D stacking cache technology, and with the release of AMD Zen 4 CPU, the throne of Ryzen 7 5800X3D Game God U has also been inherited to AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Now we compare the popular AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with the Intel Core i9-14900K to see how it performs in various games. Considering the ** gap between the two processors, this is actually a leapfrog challenge.
Specifications. 
Let's take a look at the difference between the two first, the biggest difference between the two processing is the core process, frequency and L2+L3 cache, as the flagship product of Intel 14th generation Core processor, Intel Core i9-14900K has 24 cores and 32 threads, and the highest frequency is 6GHz, which looks far superior to AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D has added 3D The vache cache allows the cache capacity to be significantly ahead of the other side, and then has an excellent performance in the game. After all, we're comparing game performance this time, so too many cores don't really make much of a difference.
Platform mounting. For the platform, we chose the ROG Z790 Hero Dark and MSI A620 motherboard, and the Gefroce RTX 4080 graphics card. In terms of memory, we chose the COLEVV CRAs XR5 RGB DDR5 memory with a frequency of 6200MHz.
In addition, we also chose 360 all-in-one liquid cooling, which can ensure that the CPU will not be throttled when running at full speed, but if you are a gamer, you know that in addition to scenarios such as ** rendering and FPU copying, ordinary games will not let the CPU be fully loaded.
Game performance. Esports games.
First, let's take a look at how the two processors actually perform in esports gaming. The GeForce RTX 4080 is far too much of a performer for these esports games, and the software has found that the graphics card isn't 100% powerful in lightweight games like League of Legends, so we're seeing ridiculously high frame rates for esports games. Both processors have a frame rate of more than 500 frames, in fact, games like "League of Legends", the instantaneous frame rate can even reach 1000 frames, of course, such a frame rate is only symbolic, after all, the most audiophile display refresh rate is also around 360Hz.
Triple A games. 
Let's take a look at the actual game performance under the triple-A blockbuster. Compared with e-sports games, 3A masterpieces can be said to be able to fully squeeze the performance of the graphics card, so as to detect the performance of the CPU more objectively, in 10 games, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Intel Core i9-14900K processors have wins and losses against each other, and no one can crush anyone, but in general, in 2K series games, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is slightly ahead, while the Ubisoft series is Intel Core i9-14900K processor is better. It should be noted that the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor is actually a leapfrog challenge, and it is reasonable to have a win or a lose.
Temperature and power consumption.
There is nothing to say about power consumption and temperature, we used the AIDA 64 to test and see how the temperature and power consumption of the two processors performed under the torture machine. As a result, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D outperforms the Intel Core i9-14900K in terms of power consumption and temperature. After all, the power consumption of AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D in the FPU copy test is around 70W, and with the excellent performance of the heatsink, the actual temperature is only 66 degrees, and the Intel Core i9-14900K easily came to 100 degrees in the FPU copy test, and the power consumption reached 324W, which means that you need to spend more budget on the power supply and heatsink to suppress this processor.
Comparison of installed costs.
Finally, there is a comparison of the installation cost that everyone likes to see, after all, everyone knows now**, it is not easy for gamers who want to install a machine to play 3A masterpieces. That's why it's wise to spend your budget where it counts.
Through budget comparison, we can find that in order to make Intel Core i9-14900K fully play to its level, you need a better motherboard, cooler and power supply, which is tantamount to greatly increasing the installed budget, not to mention that the price of AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is already 2200 yuan cheaper than Intel Core i9-14900K.
Therefore, we see that under the two relatively reasonable configurations, AMD's computer package can be nearly 3500 yuan cheaper than Intel, you must know that this budget gap has completely increased the graphics card of AMD package from 4070Ti to 4080 or Radeon RX 7900XTX, so as to obtain better performance.
Some people may say why not use B660 or even H610 for Intel to reduce the cost of installation. In our test, we can also see that the full-load power consumption of the Intel Core i9-14900K processor has reached 330W, and the temperature has also come to 100 degrees, if you use the H610 motherboard, it is likely to bring instability to the system. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor consumes only 70W at full load, so the A620 can be fully driven, and you can even choose an air-cooled cooler to reduce your installation budget. Of course, the A620 has various functional limitations, and it cannot fully exploit the strength of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor. If you can add a few hundred budgets for a B650 motherboard, then the whole set of configurations will be more reasonable, which is also about 3000 less than Intel's configuration.
Bottom line: Less budget for a great gaming experience.
For gamers, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D processor with 3D V-CACH is undoubtedly a great gaming companion. Even in the face of flagship processors like the Intel Core i9-14900K, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor is not afraid at all, and it fights back and forth.
What's more, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, which actually consumes only about 70W, allows you to choose motherboards, heat dissipation, and power supplies more easily, and there is no problem in choosing a slightly entry-level product, thus greatly reducing the installation budget. If you're looking for a gaming computer, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D processor is a smart choice. At present, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processors are also being reduced in price on major e-commerce platforms**, and the cost performance is more prominent.
