First Benchmarks for AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D

The forthcoming AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU will include 16 cores and 32 threads in addition to 144 MB of 3D V-cache, 16 MB of L2 cache, and 128 MB of L3 cache. We can now compare the results to models that have already been created for the first time in benchmarks like Blender for 3D content production and Geekbench 5 for synthetic benchmarks. The new AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D receives a score of 558.59 in Blender, while the Ryzen 9 7950X receives a score of 590.28. This represents a 5.4% regression from the baseline model, but it is still too early to tell how other benchmarks for content creation will fare on the new Processor.

The forthcoming Ryzen 9 7950X3D achieves 2,157 points in the single-core score and 21,841 points in the multi-core score on Geekbench 5 synthetics. The conventional Ryzen 9 7950X is comparatively faster than the new cache-enhanced Ryzen 9 7950X3D design, scoring roughly 2246 single-core points and 25,275 multi-core points. However, given that the standard Ryzen 9 7950X is set to a 4.5 GHz base clock, some of these benchmark results demonstrate that the 4.2 GHz base frequency of Ryzen 9 7950X3D plays a significant role in the overall performance comparison. As both designs have a boost speed of 5.7 GHz, additional benchmarks demonstrating other differences brought on by greater cache sizes are still to come.
