[Hardware] AMD Shows Ryzen 7000 CPU Competitive Positioning Against Intel 13th Gen CPUs, Highlights Impressive Efficiency Numbers

[BirSaNN]

AMD's recently launched Ryzen 7000 CPU lineup has been a game-changer in terms of overall performance and efficiency against Intel's 13th Gen options. The company recently hosted its newest "Meet The Expert" webinar where they not only highlighted the performance efficiency these chips offer but also their competitive positioning against Intel chips.

AMD Ryzen 7000's Competitive Positioning Chart Shows Strong X, X3D & Non-X Lineup Against Intel 13th Gen, Efficiency Main Highlight
In the latest processor overview chart, AMD compares its entire Ryzen 7000 Non-X, X, and X3D CPU lineup against Intel's 13th Gen offerings. The company has also included the Ryzen 7 7800X3D on its list which doesn't release until next month but the company wants users, especially gamers, to get an idea of what kind of performance to expect.

Starting with the top, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is positioned against the Intel Core i9-13900KS which is an interesting choice. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D does edge out the 13900KS in games but in specific work-load tasks, the 13900KS should sit ahead whereas the Ryzen 9 7950X is the fastest chip from the red camp when we talk about application workloads. But then again, these might only be the prices that AMD is comparing. As such, the Ryzen 9 7950X competes with the Core i9-13900K.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D is also positioned against the Intel Core i9-13900K whereas the Non-X part is positioned against the Core i9-13900. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the one that stands out with its competitive positioning against the Intel Core i7-13700K. The 13700K should perform much better in application workloads but the 7800X3D is going to be a stellar gaming chip for its price & should be able to outperform the 13900K at a $449 US price point as shown in simulated tests that various tech outlets ran.

 

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 7 7700 are positioned against the Core i7-13700K and Core i7-13700 while the Ryzen 5 7600X and Ryzen 5 7600 are positioned against the Core i5-13600K & the Core i5-13600. One of the main focuses of the presentation was the efficiency of the new Ryzen 7000 lineup, especially the X3D parts. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D is said to deliver almost twice the efficiency of the Intel Core i9-13900K in Cinebench R23 (Multi-Threaded Workload) and that's also true in a majority of games as we saw in our own review.

Furthermore, AMD hits back at Intel with its commitment to AM5's platform longevity. The red team says that AM5 offers better I/O than Intel's Z790 and Z690 platforms and will also offer future-generation CPU support for years to come which is likely not going to be the case for Intel since they already have a new socket/platform planned in the form of Z890 (LGA 1851).

But the blue team does plan on refreshing its 13th Gen Raptor Lake for the desktop platform later this year. This will be three generations of CPUs whereas AM4 offered four generations of CPU support (Zen 1, Zen 2, Zen 3, Zen 4).
