Leaked benchmark scores for AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D processors have surfaced on Geekbench 6.3, revealing notable single-core performance improvements over the previous Ryzen 7000X3D lineup. Both CPUs were tested on a Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX motherboard with 32GB of DDR5-4800 memory. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D scored 3,274 points in single-core and 19,227 in multi-core, while the Ryzen 9 9950X3D posted 3,363 single-core and 20,465 multi-core.
Performance vs. Previous Generation (Leak-Based Data)
- Ryzen 9 9950X3D vs. 7950X3D → ~15% faster in single-core, ~4% in multi-core
- Ryzen 9 9900X3D vs. 7900X3D → ~14.5% single-core gain, ~9.3% drop in multi-core
- Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs. 7800X3D → ~20.5% single-core jump, ~19.3% multi-core increase
Early Takeaways
While the single-core performance improvements are substantial, the 9950X3D’s multi-core results appear underwhelming. However, these are early test results, and BIOS optimizations may not yet be finalized.
As the official release approaches, AMD enthusiasts will be watching closely to see if final optimizations unlock the full potential of these Zen 5 3D V-Cache processors.
