MSI leaks Ryzen 9000X3D: 2% to 13% higher gaming performance than 7000X3D

MSI has leaked information regarding the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9000X3D series, indicating that it will deliver 2% to 13% higher gaming performance compared to the previous 7000X3D series when paired with an RTX 4090. The Ryzen 9000X3D lineup will feature both 8-core and 16-core variants. The leak, which originated from a media tour at MSI's factory, included performance metrics from Cinebench R23 tests. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is expected to be 9% faster in single-threaded and 16% faster in multi-core tests compared to its predecessor, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is projected to be 18% and 28% faster, respectively. MSI has not confirmed the exact clock speeds for the 9000X3D series, but a fixed frequency of 5.2 GHz is suggested to yield similar performance to the current generation. The official launch of the Ryzen 9000X3D series is anticipated in early November, with an announcement possibly occurring this month.

- MSI's leak suggests Ryzen 9000X3D offers 2% to 13% better gaming performance than 7000X3D.

- The new series will include 8-core and 16-core models.

- Ryzen 9 9950X3D expected to outperform last-gen models by 9% in single-thread and 16% in multi-core tests.

- Ryzen 7 9800X3D projected to be 18% faster in single-thread and 28% faster in multi-core performance.

- Official launch of the Ryzen 9000X3D series is expected in early November.

Most games aren't CPU bound anyway, would be interesting to see compiler benchmarks or other tasks that actually stress the CPU.

CPU bound for games does not mean the same thing than CPU bound for many other benchmarks.

In a game, based on its type, it is being able to do all the required work required in less than a frame time without being bother by other tasks stealing the CPU cores from time to time (or significantly messing around the cache memory).

144Hz/72Hz means you must do all the work in less than 6/13ms.

Nowdays, it means you ask the kernel to favor CPU cores from the same CCD...

If the 9800X3D is more efficient that would be a reason for me to upgrade from the 7800X3D, since I run it in a space constrained ITX case (FormD T1).

That said, the 7800X3D is not exactly throttling in the case, but a few degrees less heat is always welcome, and gives me more GPU headroom if the 5090 will end up fitting eventually (currently running 4090).

If that’s the case, that’s slightly disappointing.

2-13% seems very disappointing considering how long the 7000 series has been out. I was hoping we'd see more like 80-200% based on the gains we've seen from Apple and Nvidia in this time/
