AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been pitted against its rival Ryzen 9 9950X in a series of tests on popular benchmarking platform Geekbench 5.3. The tests revealed that the Ryzen 9 9950X performed better than the 9800X3D in almost every aspect, with a single-core score of 3,339 and a multi-core score of 18,658. In comparison, the 7800X3D had a single-core score of 2,725 and a multi-core score of 15,154. The new Core i9-265KF had a single-core score of 3,219 and a multi-core score of 19,433, outperforming the 9800X3D. The tests were conducted using an ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard with PBO enabled. The results are significant, showing that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D may not be the performance powerhouse it was once touted to be. The comparison is an interesting one, and the results may have significant implications for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their processors. The benchmarking platform is a key tool for assessing processor performance, and the results from Geekbench 5.3 should give users a better understanding of which processor to choose.
