AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor is set to be released later this month and has already been benchmarked using Geekbench. The processor was tested on an ASUS X670E Hero motherboard, paired with 32GB of DDR5 memory of unknown speed, and achieved clock speeds of 5.1 to 5.68 GHz throughout the benchmark.

This 16-core and 32-thread processor comes equipped with 64MB of 3D V-Cache, and is the flagship Ryzen CPU for the AM5 socket.  The benchmark results were not hugely impressive, of course the X3D series is not expected to perform well in synthetic benchmarks like Geekbench. The benefits of the increased cache in this processor are expected to be more apparent in gaming workloads, which were not tested in this benchmark. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D scored 2157 points in single-core tests and 21841 points in multi-core tests using the V5 version of Geekbench.

While these scores are less than those of the 7950X, it's important to note that the 7950X3D's results are sourced from only one run, making them incomparable to the 7950X's average score based on many results. Additionally, no information is available about the memory specifications or whether the processor was running the latest BIOS, which could have impacted the scores.

The Ryzen 9 7950X3D is expected to be a game-changer for gamers and professionals who require high-performance computing, and many will be eagerly anticipating more benchmarks to be released in the coming weeks.
