AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Gaming CPU Spotted in Benchmark Leak
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Gaming CPU Leak
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D has been spotted in a benchmark leak, marking the first time the widely anticipated chip has seemingly appeared in a testing environment. This 16-core flagship gaming CPU from AMD's Zen 5 Ryzen lineup is expected to offer specs similar to the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, but with enhanced all-around performance. Following our AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D review, which showed this chip to be the current best gaming CPU, expectations are high for what a 16-core chip utilizing AMD's latest technology can achieve.
Benchmark Insights
Previous 16-core X3D variants, such as the 7950X3D and 5950X3D, have not performed as well in gaming, primarily due to the X3D cache configuration. However, speculation suggests that the new 16-core chips might utilize a different X3D configuration, unlocking their gaming potential. The leak originates from a benchmark for the game Factorio, with results available on the FactorioBox benchmark website.
- Top-scoring benchmark run for the 9950X3D
- Test performed with 256GB of 6,000MT/s RAM
- Benchmark run on 64-bit Windows via Steam
In the benchmark, the 9950X3D tops the chart, outperforming models like the 9800X3D and 14900K. However, this benchmark also places the 5800X3D ahead of any Intel chip, indicating a significant AMD X3D bias.
