Ryzen 7 9850X3D, Spotted in Early Benchmarks
AMD’s next generation of powerful gaming processors is taking shape. The anticipated Ryzen 7 9850X3D, a chip designed to deliver elite gaming performance, has been spotted in early benchmark tests, giving us our first look at its potential specifications.
The processor appeared in two new entries on the Geekbench performance database. The listings confirm it as an 8-core, 16-thread CPU equipped with a massive 96MB of L3 cache, a hallmark of AMD’s performance-boosting 3D V-Cache technology.
The tests, run on motherboards from manufacturers Colorful and MaxSun, show the chip reaching a maximum boost clock speed of up to 5.6 GHz. This aligns with earlier rumors and suggests a focus on high single-core performance, which is crucial for gaming.
It is vital to view these early results with caution. The systems used slow, non-optimized memory, which can significantly hamper overall scores. Furthermore, the CPU is likely running on early firmware and engineering samples, meaning final retail performance will be higher and more refined.
