First AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D gaming benchmarks appear online

The review embargo for the new AMD Zen 4 CPUs with 3D V-Cache will be lifted on February 27th. However, the first gaming benchmarks for the flagship model, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, have surfaced online.


On the one hand, we have some official first-party gaming benchmarks, straight from AMD. AMD claims that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D will be an average of 6% faster than the Intel i9 13900K at 1080p. The red team also claims that this CPU will be 16% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X.







Then chii11eddog leaked some third-party gaming benchmarks. Four games with an NVIDIA RTX3090 were used for these benchmarks. In these tests, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D was 12% faster than the Intel Core i9 13900K.

As it stands, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D will be able to beat Intel's CPU in most gaming benchmarks. Still, there were some games where the Intel Core i9 13900K was faster than the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.


The performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 7800X3D will also be interesting. This particular CPU features a single 8-core CCD and does not rely on CCX scheduling. So, in theory, it could be the better option for gaming.
