AMD shared the first gaming benchmarks for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D

AMD has just shared the first official gaming benchmarks for its upcoming Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU. According to the red team, this CPU will be 20% faster than the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, and 8% faster than the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

Going into more details, the red team has benchmarked these CPUs in 40 games. AMD shared the following graphs, showcasing the performance difference of these three CPUs in some of them.

Overall, AMD claims that the new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 8% faster than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. This means that those who have a 7800X3D will have nothing to worry about. I mean, we’re talking about less than 10% gains.

On the other hand, those who want to get a new CPU will be able to get the 9800X3D over Intel’s latest high-end CPU. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K already struggled to compete with the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. And, since the 9800X3D is slightly faster, it will manage to widen the performance gap between them.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D will have 8 CPU cores, and it will support 16 threads. The CPU can hit frequencies up to 5.2GHz, and it will have 104MB of total cache. AMD will sell this new CPU for $479.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor will be available starting November 7th. The review embargo for the third-party benchmarks and reviews will be lifted on November 6th.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
