AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Benchmarks Reveal Impressive Performance Gains Ahead of Launch

AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU has recently undergone benchmarking, achieving impressive single-thread (ST) scores with a 5.5 GHz overclock and strong multi-thread performance. Due out this week, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 3D V-Cache tech shows a much larger delta compared to last-gen X3D models, especially when pushing these CPUs with overclocking.

More About the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D will have an 8-core and 16-thread configuration based on Zen 5 architecture. Base clocks should come in at 4.7 GHz–900 MHz faster than the Ryzen 7 9700X, and 500 MHz higher than last-gen Ryzen 7 7800X3D with 3D V-Cache. Its boost clock is 5.2 GHz which is 200 MHz higher than the 5 GHz boost of the 7800X3D.

The other specs of the CPU include 32 MB L3 cache, 64 MB second-generation 3D stacked cache, 8 MB L2 cache, and it has 120W thermal design power (TDP). The Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s benchmarks were run on an ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard with 32 GB of DDR5-6000 memory and tested on Geekbench 6.3. Earlier benchmarks suggested that PBO could boost clocks up to around 5.3 GHz, but this test hit around 5.5 GHz.

In single-core tests, the CPU scored 3,473 points and a whopping 19,216 points in multi-core tests, outpacing the previous generation Ryzen X3D by as much as 27% Its multi-core performance is comparable to that of the Ryzen 9 7950X and the Core Ultra 7 265K, both of which have significantly higher core and thread counts.

AMD claims an average performance increase of 8% for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D over the 7800X3D and a 20% boost compared to the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is scheduled to launch on November 7th at a price of $479, which is $30 higher than the MSRP of the 7800X3D.
