MSI revealed performance data for AMD Ryzen 9000X3D gaming processors to visitors to one of its offices in Shenzhen, China. The company showed test results for the eight-core Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D.

The demo only released three benchmarks for gaming workloads: Far Cry 6, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Black Myth: Wukong. In these tests, the AMD Ryzen 9000X3D was up to 13%, 4%, and 2% faster than the Ryzen 7000X3D, respectively. Cinebench R23 single-threaded and multi-threaded test results were also shown – they showed a significant increase in the speed of the new AMD X3D chips in standard workloads, especially in multi-threaded tests.
The results of measurements in non-gaming workloads for the latest generation Ryzen 9000X3D series processors and the main Ryzen 9000 line are interesting: 16-core chips based on AMD Zen 5 architecture showed approximately equal results in cases where V-Cache technology directly benefits. And in a comparison of 8-core processors, the model with the X3D index still turned out to be faster – perhaps due to the higher TDP out of the box.
MSI did not specify which AMD Ryzen 9000X3D chips were used in testing: market-ready models or engineering samples. It is unclear whether AMD has made any additional BIOS optimizations. The 13% performance boost for Far Cry 6 is impressive, but it remains to be seen how the new X3D performs in a wider range of games.
