Thanks to CodeCommando, we’ve just received a leak that gives us some juicy information about the next Ryzen 9000X3D. It gives us, a priori, the performance of future 8-core and 16-core processors equipped with 3D V-Cache technology on the Cinebench R23 benchmark.
Promising Ryzen 9000X3Ds on Cinebench R23
The information provided by CodeCommando should be treated with caution, as these are unofficial leaks. However, the leaked performance figures seem to correlate with what AMD has been saying about the evolution of 3D V-Cache technology.
Indeed, AMD had stated that it was seriously working on optimizing this technology to enable overclocking of future chips equipped with this extra L3 cache, so it’s likely that they’re looking to maintain the same frequencies as conventional chips, while trying to reduce the impact of the cache gain on raw performance.
So here’s a table showing the next Ryzen 9000X3D processors in 8-core and 16-core versions, probably the 9800X3D and 9950X3D compared with the current range.
Comparison 9800X3D vs 9700X vs 7800X3D Cinebench R23:
9950X3D vs 9950X vs 7950X3D Cinebench R23 :
In this leak, we don’t know whether the processor is in stock or overclocked configuration. However, the gains seem extremely satisfying, with a 9800X3D that appears to have massive gains over the previous generation.
Indeed:
- Single-Core: The 9800X3D outperforms the 7800X3D with a gain of 17.21%.
- Multi-Core: The 9800X3D also outperforms the 7800X3D with a 26.08% difference in multi-core performance.
The 9950X3D also wins, but with slightly smaller gains:
- Single-Core: The 9950X3D outperforms the 7950X3D by 10.59%.
- Multi-Core: The 9950X3D also outperforms the 7950X3D by 16.60%.
The next X3Ds to close the gap
It’s worth remembering that the release of the Zen 5 processors (Ryzen 9000) largely disappointed in terms of performance, especially in gaming, where they didn’t bring any significant gains over the Zen 4 (Ryzen 7000).
However, the Ryzen 9000s aren’t all doom and gloom, as there’s been a real improvement in temperatures, unlike the Ryzen 7000s, which ran very hot. There have also been significant improvements in the AVX-512 and in professional applications.
So there’s a lot to look forward to with the next Ryzen 9000s equipped with X3D technology, which should benefit from the same temperature improvements, while reducing the loss of performance in professional applications.
