(Image credit: AMD) Team Red's upcoming batch of refreshed Zen 5 SKUs is all but confirmed to launch at CES 2026 next year. We've been seeing various leaks about the new Ryzen 9000X3D chips, including the Ryzen 7 9850X3D — set to replace the flagship 9800X3D — which has just been spotted on Geekbench by Gray. There are two listings that not only confirm a prior leak but also provide early scores to compare.

The first listing shows the purported 9850X3D socketed inside a Colorful CVN B850M Gaming Frozen V14A motherboard, boosting up to 5.6 GHz and paired with 32 GB of DDR5-4800 memory. The chip scores 3,439 points in the single-core test and 17,530 points in the multi-core test. Those numbers largely put it in line with the existing 9800X3D.

The slow RAM and pre-release firmware are likely holding back the 9850X3D, as it's actually slower in multi-core benchmarks than the 9800X3D, while only around 3% faster in single-core results. Keep in mind that the boost clocks, which go from 5.2 GHz to 5.6 GHz, constitute an 8% increase, so don't expect any miracles even in the final performance numbers.
