Ahead of the launch, the PassMark database has released benchmark results for the flagship AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor, allowing us to evaluate its performance against its predecessor and other modern chips. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is a 16-core (32-thread) processor based on the Zen 5 architecture with a maximum clock speed of 5.7 GHz, 144 MB of shared cache, and a declared TDP of up to 170 W. It scored 4,739 points in single-threaded mode and 69,701 in multi-threaded mode. With the obtained results, the new product surpasses the 7950X3D by 14.1% in single-threaded mode and by about 11.5% in multi-threaded mode. In multi-threaded mode, the 9950X3D also leaves behind the regular 9950X by almost 5%, but when using a single thread, there is no difference between them. Compared to the flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, the gaming chip from AMD is about 3% faster in multi-threaded mode, but is inferior by 7% in single-threaded mode. At the same time, AMD promises overclocking and improved cooling for the 9950X3D, which should have a positive effect on its efficiency in games and work tasks. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D will be available on March 12th with a suggested retail price of $699. |
