Power Consumption
The flip side of modest CPU performance is low power draw but even so we did not expect the Ryzen 7 7800X3D would draw less than 100W, falling way short of the nominal 120W TDP.
CPU Temperature
The other benefit of low CPU power draw is low CPU temperature. This is a virtuous circle that helps your PC hardware to lead a long and happy life.
AIDA64 Memory Bandwidth
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D exhibits familiar behaviour in our memory benchmark and falls only slightly behind the Ryzen 7 7700X. On the one hand we have the benefit of DDR5 memory while on the other we are held back by the single chiplet configuration of the Ryzen 7. We can see the dual chiplet Ryzen 9 CPUs do much better in this test while Intel fills the top three places.
