The Technical Workloads Where AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D/7950X3D CPUs Are Excellent
The GPAW density-functional theory (DFT) code was enjoying some nice time savings with the Ryzen 9 7900X3D/7950X3D processors too in addition to the power savings advantage.
The ClickHouse database software also was delivering noticeably better performance on these AMD Zen 4 3D V-Cache processors, though depending upon the database size and number of unique queries the benefits may vary.
If you are heavily making use of ClickHouse but on a scale small enough that you can't justify AMD EPYC server processors, the performance-per-Watt benefit speaks volumes here for heavy ClickHouse use.
Intel's Embree 4.0 ray-tracing engine was enjoying some benefits with the 3D V-Cache. particularly for the 7950X3D model.
Or needless to say, the X3D CPUs were very convincing when it came to the performance per Watt.
