There was already a discussion these days about whether AMD promised too much at Tech Day when it came to the performance of the Ryzen 9000. Now the first gaming benchmarks for the Ryzen 9 9900X are out from Italy. It’s actually not supposed to start until the end of the month, but it looks like Saddy Tech was able to get its hands on the CPU and it seems to be free of the ban.
The results in short: Cache is king – even with the Ryzen 9000. As a result, the Ryzen 9 9900X can’t beat the Ryzen 7800X3D, which was used for comparison. This means that the report that the Ryzen 7 9700X is 2 percent faster than the Ryzen 7800X3D is bound to be questioned, but in the end it always comes down to the applications or games being benchmarked. One should also not forget that there is no fundamental parity here: the Ryzen 9 9900X has 12 cores; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has 8 cores. As with previous generations, gaming particularly benefits from 3D V-NAND technology.
The full suite of games was measured at 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p; in order to completely rule out GPU limitations, 720p is generally recommended for CPU benchmarks. Overall, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the faster CPU, but the Ryzen 9 9900X can sometimes outperform the older model at 2160p—as mentioned before, with 4 extra cores.
The marginal information is also very nice: the Ryzen 9 9900X is very well behaved in terms of power consumption and therefore also in terms of temperature. Cooled with a BeQuiet Dark Rock 4 air cooler, the new model reaches 67 ° C, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D reaches 63 ° C. However, maximum temperatures can reach 82 ° C in high load scenarios; it was measured, among other things, in Cyberpunk 2077. But even if you still like the 107 W power consumption of the Ryzen 9 9900X in Counter-Strike 2, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D does it with 53 W. The Ryzen 9000 will be launched on July 31.
