If we can believe the reviewer's guide that got leaked today by HD technologica. The highly-anticipated AMD Ryzen 7000X3D processor has been leaked, revealing performance comparisons with the Core i9-13900K.
The leak includes data from a confidential review guide and shows that the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X3D model has been tested against the Core i9-13900K with both Radeon RX 7900 XTX and NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPUs. The new processor boasts an extended L3 cache and is being compared to the original 7950X model without the cache. Given the impressive results from the previous Ryzen 7 5800X3D with Zen3, expectations are high for the new Zen4 desktop processor. While these review guides tend to focus on optimized games and may not represent real-world performance, they offer an early glimpse into the upcoming CPU's capabilities.
The upcoming Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor, outperforms Intel's i9-13900K by 5.6% in 22 games when paired with the Radeon RX 7900 XT. The differences in performance range from 26.9% in Horizon Zero Down to Intel's superiority in games like Far Cry 6.
When paired with an RTX 4090, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is 6% faster than the i9-13900K and up to 16% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X. However, in multicore performance, Intel comes out on top in almost all tests, including popular ones like Cinebench R23 and Geekbench 5.4. The i9-13900K is also $90 cheaper and a better option for those prioritizing multicore performance. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D may be the better option for gamers with a high-end graphics card, although both the 7950X3D and the 13900K are pricey and not necessary for gaming when a more affordable i5 or Ryzen 5 can suffice. These are official AMD benchmarks, and reviews will provide more insight into the actual performance of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and its younger sibling, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D.
Next week, Ryzen 9 7950X3D will go on sale for $699. This is how much the 7950X CPU cost when it first came out last year. However, that AMD CPU is now much cheaper and can be found for around $589. The Intel Core i9-13900K costs $569,-
