The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD’s first 8-core “Zen 5” processor to feature 3D V-Cache technology, will deliver up to 22% higher single-core performance and up to 20% faster multi-core performance versus its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, according to new benchmark scores for the CPU that have surfaced on Geekbench. Comparisons that have been shared online show the 9800X3D sitting between the 9700X and 9600X in the realm of single core, with multi-core performance of the 8C/16T CPU sitting between Intel’s Core i7-14700K and Core i9-14900. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the rest of the initial Ryzen 9000X3D Series is expected to launch on November 7.
…the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D scored 3305 points in single-core and 18,221 points in multi-core tests at Geekbench 6. This puts the single-core performance up to 22% faster than the 7800X3D and the multi-core performance up to 20% faster which is a strong uplift. Previous reports have also indicated full overclocking support and it looks like Zen 5 with 3D V-Cache is going to be a very strongly positioned product.
