AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Zen3 CPU has finally been tested in games

Now most games, they are very similar but some games, you do get a pretty big jump:

But there are two big caveats to this that needs to be said.
1) 12900KF is running DDR4 and not DDR5
2) You can overclock the 12900KF where as you can't on the 5800X3D
So you kind of have this review that is ultimately pointless because the 12900K is under-performing as no one is going to spend the money to get a 12900K and not get a Z590 with high speed DDR5. It does show some nice gains but overall, wait until Thursday when the review embargo is supposed to lift to see the comparisons from the usual reviewers.
Still, it is always impressive to see how much performance you can get out of Zen 3 just by adding in more cache.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't reviewers test Alder Lake both with DDR4 and DDR5 and found the difference in games to be quite small? Unless I'm missing something, I don't think the use of DDR4 on this review has much of an impact in the overall results.
But I agree that the performance increase is remarkable, specially with the 1% lows.
Intel may have to lower the price of the 12900KS.

It depends on the game. Some games you see a massive jump while others, not so much. Some even hate the additional latency DDR5 gives you:
