The AMD Ryzen 9800X3D processor may not offer a significant improvement in gaming performance as previously suggested by leaks.
Leaked slides from an MSI presentation indicate that the 9800X3D is only 11% faster than its predecessor in Far Cry 6, with more modest gains in other games.
Cinebench results show a notable performance increase for the Ryzen 9800X3D compared to its predecessor, while the Ryzen 9950X3D offers smaller gains.
Despite the potential disappointment, there is still a possibility of better all-round performance and potential pricing adjustments from AMD.
