The Ryzen 9000X3D series, which AMD is promoting as a competitor to Intel's Arrow Lake-S, will debut on November 7. Among the models, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which has 8 cores, has shown up in several benchmarks and recently made an appearance in the PugetBench benchmark focused on creators.
Benchmark Results
The pages listing the results, found by momomo_us, have since been removed. In the PugetBench test for DaVinci Resolve, the Ryzen 9800X3D achieved an impressive score of 10,487 points, and it scored 14,201 points in the PugetBench test for Premiere Pro. This performance was noted while using 32 GB of RAM and an RTX 4090 GPU on an Asus X870E motherboard, showing that this CPU is a serious contender.
Comparison with Intel
However, before we get too excited, it's important to mention that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D scored lower than Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K, but it is quite close to the Core i7-14700K in performance. Keep in mind that PugetBench results can vary significantly based on numerous factors, so it's wise to be cautious when making direct comparisons.
Insights for Creatives
Still, for those in creative professions familiar with PugetBench, the leaked scores might offer a good glimpse into how AMD's upcoming 'Granite Ridge' series will perform in tasks outside gaming. If these scores, together with earlier leaked Cinebench results, are anything to go by, AMD seems ready to challenge Intel strongly.
