Ryzen 7 9850X3D edges past Ryzen 7 9800X3D in PassMark benchmark — upcoming X3D chip shows up to 4.7% higher performance

Early synthetic results point to a modest single- and multi-thread gain for AMD’s next 8-core X3D chip.

(Image credit: AMD) A new PassMark entry has surfaced for AMD’s unreleased Ryzen 7 9850X3D, giving the first look at how the chip compares against the current 9800X3D , one of the best CPUs . The listing, which appeared in the database this week and was posted on X, reports a CPU Mark score of 41,840 from a single sample. That places it roughly 5% ahead of the 9800X3D’s 39,962-point average in the same benchmark. PassMark’s breakdown shows a single-thread score of 4,632, compared to the 9800X3D’s 4,425, again landing in the 5% range.

PassMark assigns a high margin of error to early submissions with only one system contributing data, but the figures track with the specifications already associated with the 9850X3D . Shipping details and an inadvertent AMD product-page appearance have pointed to an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 5 part with 96 MB of L3 cache, a 120 W TDP, and a 5.6 GHz boost clock. That is a straightforward frequency increase over the 9800X3D’s 5.2 GHz peak, and the uplift in PassMark’s single-thread test aligns with a step of that size.

The only subtest mentioned by the leakers was PassMark’s Memory Mark, where the new chip reportedly scored 4,421 points. A comparable 9800X3D baseline sits at 4,390. The 1% difference suggests no major change in memory behaviour, which is consistent with the absence of known platform or cache layout changes between the two parts.
