MSI leaks Ryzen 9000X3D Gaming Benchmarks
MSI leaks benchmarking data for AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D Gaming CPUs
MSI, as part of a special tour of one of their headquarters in Shenzhen, has revealed to attendees performance data for AMD’s Ryzen 9000X3D gaming CPUs. Specifically, the gaming performance of AMD’s 8-core Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D were showcased.
Only three benchmark results were showcased for gaming workloads: Far Cry 6, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Black Myth Wukong. In these tests, AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D was 13%, 2%, and 2% faster than AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D, respectively. Obviously, more data is required before we can draw any firm conclusions about AMD’s new X3D processors.
Additionally, single-threaded and multi-threaded data for AMD’s new X3D CPUs was showcased. This reveals significant performance improvements for AMD’s newest X3D CPUs in standard PC workloads. This was especially true for multi-threaded workloads.

More Ryzen 9000X3D data from MSI
AMD also showcased how its X3D and non-X3D CPUs now perform similarly in non-gaming workloads. AMD’s 16-core Zen 5 X3D and non-X3D CPUs perform nearly identically in workloads that do not benefit from AMD’s V-Cache tech. Note that AMD’s 8-core X3D chips actually outperform AMD’s Ryzen 7 9700X. This result may be due to AMD using a higher out-of-the-box TDP for their new X3D CPUs.

Currently, it is unknown if MSI’s Ryzen 9000X3D benchmarking data comes from finalised silicon from AMD or engineering samples. It is also unclear if AMD has any further BIOS or firmware optimisations that could further enhance the performance of their X3D CPUs. The 13% performance gains that AMD showcased in Far Cry 6 are impressive, though it remains to be seen how AMD’s new X3D chips will perform across a larger variety of games. We will have to wait for reviews before we make any firm conclusions about these new CPUs.
