AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU continues to showcase impressive single & multi-core performance, now matching 9950X & 14700K.
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU delivers up to 25% performance uplift in both single and multi-core tests versus 7800X3D
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 3D V-Cache will be coming in less than two weeks, but we have another benchmark of the CPU that shows its raw power. The processor has been benchmarked in a couple of programs and this is the second Geekbench result for the CPU, which shows us how far the X3D processors have come in terms of raw performance.
The CPU was benchmarked on Geekbench 6.3, using the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard with PBO enabled, boosting over its default boost clock to 5.27 GHz. It scored an impressive 3339 points in single-core and 18658 points in multi-core tests, surpassing the previous gen Ryzen X3D predecessor by up to 25%. Two days ago, the processor was benchmarked on Geekbench, resulting in 3305 points in single-core and 18221 points in multi-core tests. So, the latest results are a bit better.
While Geekbench scores do vary from test to test, we can see that most Ryzen 7 7800X3D results hover in the 2600-2800 range for single-core and 15000-16000 range for tests. We currently have three entries for the Ryzen 9800X3D and with more entries, the score may improve with time. Still, at its current state, it's equivalent to high-end Intel Core i7s and i9s from the Raptor Lake/Refresh family in single-core and already outperforms the non-X3D counterparts of the Ryzen 9000 Zen 5-based chips such as Ryzen 7 9700X.
Geekbench 6 ST Performance (Higher is Better)
Geekbench 6 MT Performance (Higher is Better)
This is the first time that an X3D CPU boasts higher single and multithreaded performance than the non-X3D counterpart, making it ideal for both gaming and productivity. As we can see from the specs page on Geekbench, the CPU brings a 4.7 GHz base and a 5.27 GHz boost clock. It's possible that the boost clock went over 5.2 GHz due to PBO enabled, and it's no surprise since we recently saw Ryzen 9800X3D hitting 5.6+ GHz.
The L3 cache is 96 MB, which is equal to its predecessor and will be beneficial for modern gaming and select CPU-oriented tasks. At a time when Intel is struggling to even maintain the same gaming performance with Core Ultra 200S as the previous gen, AMD is looking in a much better position than ever. We also revealed the first delidded chip shot of the CPU which confirms the use of a new 3D V-Cache stacking technology, more here.
AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D chips are not only superior in gaming, they are also much more power-efficient. While Intel's high-end chips like Core Ultra 9 285K can consume close to 100W in pure gaming loads, the X3D chips stay mostly near 60W with a big performance margin. This gets even worse for Intel when we bring Raptor Lake/Refresh chips into the race.
