Reviews will start rolling in soon, providing all the detailed information we’ve been craving for the successor to the popular gaming champion, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. However, that hasn’t stopped the benchmarks from disappearing – the latest showing a significant improvement over the previous X3D generation.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU with 3D V-Cache can indeed be overclocked, and the proof is in a new Geekbench submission (via @Olrak29_ on X) presenting the original boost frequency of 5.2 GHz pushed to 5.46 GHz, an increase of 260 MHz. Unlike the previous X3D generation, which disabled overclocking, the X3D generation of the Zen 5 will be OC compatible and will result in impressive gains.

Now, Geekbench isn’t specifically a gaming benchmark, as it tests everyday usage scenarios and workloads. So at least now we know that the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D will be a great all-rounder and won’t just excel at PC gaming. Of course, this result alone does not give an overall picture of energy consumption, efficiency and other metrics. However, this indicates that AMD’s new X3D chips will offer improved performance compared to the previous generation.
