Ryzen 9000X3D CPU performance allegedly exposed — leak claims double-digit multi-core performance uplift over Ryzen 9000
CodeCommando, a leaker with a relatively short track record, has shared the alleged Cinebench R23 performance for AMD’s Ryzen 9000X3D processors. The individual had previously leaked AMD’s Ryzen 9000 slides, which did turn out to be legitimate, so his information is seemingly good. Nonetheless, as with any leak, we recommend you treat leaked benchmarks cautiously.
The leaker shared the Cinebench R23 results for the 8-core and 16-core Ryzen 9000X3D parts, corresponding to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D, respectively. The Ryzen 9000X3D’s strong suit lies in the gaming performance, but unfortunately, we only have Cinebench R23 for comparison for now. We used the same benchmark tool in our CPU reviews, so we’ll use our results to contrast the leaked results. It won’t be an apples-to-apples comparison since we don’t know the system specifications and the testing environment for the leaked Ryzen 9000X3D scores.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D reportedly delivered a single-core score of around 2,145 points and a multi-core score of 23,315. On the other hand, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D purportedly scored 2,245 points in single-core tests and 42,375 in multi-core tests.
The Ryzen 9000X3D’s single-core performance is relatively close to its vanilla counterparts. However, the multi-core performance showed a significant difference. The Ryzen 9000X3D chips delivered 13% to 32% higher multi-core performance.

Many gamers are excited to get their hands on AMD’s latest Ryzen 9000X3D chips. A previous leaker claimed that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D could hit the market as early as this month, although he didn’t provide the exact date. Meanwhile, the more powerful Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D are rumored for an early 2025 release. The alleged reason for the delayed launch was that AMD is reportedly working on adding new features to the Ryzen 9000X3D parts.
Intel is also finally unleashing the chipmaker’s Core Ultra 200 (codenamed Arrow Lake) processors this month. It’ll be interesting to see how much performance Arrow Lake brings and whether it can surpass AMD’s current Ryzen 9000, which has been on the market for a few months. The outcome will likely influence how AMD releases the company’s Ryzen 9000 X3D chips.
While the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D will likely wield tons of firepower, the lower-tier SKUs, such as the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, typically offer consumers the best bang for their buck. So, just having the Ryzen 7 9800X3D on the market will significantly benefit AMD. Whether Ryzen 9000 X3D can retake the king of gaming crown will depend on how well Arrow Lake performs.

If the leaked benchmark is a 16 core part, then this would the 9950x3d, and meaningless to compare the multi-core score against the 12 core 9900x.. esp. while leaving off the 9950x from the chart.

Obviously they are doing these benchmarks on systems with weaker specs than mine. Article shows 41k for the 9950X in multi-core... but mine got 43k +. Single core was higher as well in Cinbench R23.
It looks like X3D will no longer be just for gamers. 9800X3D looks like a very tempting upgrade from my 5800X even though I don't play a huge number of games and productivity performance is more important to me. Looks like you can have the best of both worlds. Still givn how poor the X870 MB's are, I'm waiting for full on Arrow Lake vs Zen 5 reviews as well as MB features. Z890 looks to be much better choice than X870E.
Kind of offtopic, but why do people use every Cinebench version but the newest one? Ive seen some people going back to R15. Anyone got a tldr; why people dont just use the newest version?

I use 23 and 24. Need to for accurate comparisons. Don't much care about older versions but 23 is recent enough to keep it installed. Why they aren't using 24 for these tests I have no idea.

I dunno... as said my 9950X scored higher than the 9950X3D mentioned in the article. Point being... 9000 series isn't as bad as people have been claiming. :ROFLMAO:

I think they think the bigger number makes their E PEEN look bigger. Its their chea nerd's version of a Farrari.
The 9800X3D probably isn't constrained to 65 watts like the 9700x.
I agree, although neither is the 9700x anymore. This is probably one of the things that differentiates a 800x vs a 700x, regardless of if its a 3D model or not.
Article says Ryzen 7 9800x3d could come out this month, but more powerful chips like the ryzen 7 9800x3d are rumored to come out in 2025, and it makes that mistake twice. Proofread your chat gpt prompts, tech writers!
