Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 34,279 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 3,759 single-thread result adds context for less-parallel work. Compare the nearby alternatives on this page and do not treat one score as a verdict for every application.

Platform and compatibility

It uses socket AM5. A matching socket is only the first check; confirm the official motherboard CPU-support list, BIOS revision and board power limits.

Memory and power

The 120 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.

FAQ

Common processor questions

What are the key AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D specifications?

The main recorded details are 8 cores and 16 threads, up to 5.00 GHz turbo, a 120 W reference TDP, a 34,279 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.
