A recent rumor circulating on VideoCardz has revealed potential Cinebench R23 rendering scores for the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D CPU series. This lineup is said to include 8-core, 12-core, and 16-core models, all featuring Zen5 architecture and 3D V-Cache technology. The leak includes Cinebench R23 benchmark scores, but without any screenshots, it should be approached with caution as it originates from CodeCommando, a relatively new source with only one verified leak—the Ryzen 9000 slides that were released shortly before AMD's official announcement.
When comparing the results shared by CodeCommando with TechPowerUp review data from the previous generation, it appears that the upcoming AMD CPUs show promising performance. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is reportedly around 10% faster in single-core and 17% faster in multi-core performance compared to the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Similarly, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is said to be 20% faster in single-core and 28% faster in multi-core performance than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. These initial benchmark results indicate significant performance improvements for the 8-core SKU, with both X3D models achieving higher multi-core scores than their non-X3D counterparts.
While the 9800X3D shows slightly lower single-core performance than the 8-core 9700X, it surpasses the 9700X in multi-core tests. This multi-core advantage is likely due to a higher TDP, although specific power specifications have not yet been disclosed.
