- AMD is set to announce the Ryzen 7 9800X3D later this week.
- However, the first leaked benchmark has appeared, showcasing what a beast it is going to be.
- The leaked benchmarks reveal its potential, which shows that it can fill the shoes of Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
After much hype and anticipation, AMD is set to release the Ryzen 7 9800X3D very soon. It is being pictured as the ultimate processor for elite gaming. If the rumors are only half true, it might just become the worthy successor to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
For those unaware, 7 7800X3D is considered to be the best gaming CPU, but that might change soon. Just recently, a leaked benchmark for the much-anticipated 9800X3D has appeared online, revealing some interesting information.
The CPU is said to have a turbo clock of 5.2GHz, but in the first leaked benchmark, it is reportedly running at clock speeds between 5.6 and 5.7GHz.
Why it matters: The 7800X3D has a cap of 5.0GHz, so 9800X3D reaching over 5.6GHz could be a game changer in the CPU market. Such improvements to the Zen5 architecture will definitely catch the attention of consumers.
A member of AnandTech forums, Igor_Kavinski, shared the first benchmarks of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. As mentioned before, the CPU is reportedly running at clock speeds between 5.6 to 5.7GHz, which is way more than the 7800X3D.
Do note that the benchmark doesn’t show the supposed CPU by name as that part has been retracted except for the Architecture, Max Core Frequency, Max Effective Clock, Max Core Temp, Bus Frequency, and Memory.
However, the notes mention the CPU’s name. It also appears to be using Precision Boost Overdrive with a BCLK change and an offset. Now, let’s see how the CPU compares to the current beast in the market.
As per the Cinebench results, 9800X3D seems to be way ahead both in single-core and multi-core. 7800X3D with PBO usually scores around 18 to 19K points, which is pretty good. However, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D scores over 22k points in the single-core test and over 25k in the multi-core test.
Given that this CPU is being pictured as the ultimate processor for elite gaming, the benchmarks don’t come as a surprise. However, nothing has been officially confirmed, and the CPU’s announcement is nearing its release date, so it is better to take this with a pinch of salt and wait for the official reveal.
What do you think of the alleged benchmarks of the upcoming beast from AMD? Do you think it will become a worthy successor to 7800X3D? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or join the official Tech4Gamers forums.
