Leak: AMD’s Ryzen 9000X3D chips aren’t looking like a leap forward

Somebody goofed — and present AMD’s unannounced Ryzen 9000X3D desktop processors person been partially revealed. But like Intel’s caller Arrow Lake desktop CPUs, it doesn’t look similar they’ll beryllium a immense show betterment connected their predecessors. If so, that’s a shame fixed how poorly received AMD’s Ryzen 9000 was, to statesman with.

According to slides from an MSI presumption published by HardwareLuxx today, the caller chips whitethorn person respectable multicore show gen-over-gen, with an eight-core 9000X3D outperforming a Ryzen 7 7900X3D by up to 28 percent successful Cinebench R23. But they tin connection arsenic small arsenic 2 percent gains successful Black Myth: Wukong and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, according to MSI’s preliminary testing.

And against the vanilla Ryzen 9000 series, MSI recovered that X3D show was truthful adjacent arsenic to practically beryllium the same. MSI does enactment that “Performance is expected to beryllium amended connected PR samples and retail chips,” though.

It’s not wide whether HardwareLuxx broke an embargo oregon whether MSI mightiness beryllium liable for the leak — strangely, it appears that conception of the presumption was mostly astir Intel’s caller Core Ultra 200S chips, and it’s not wide wherefore unreleased AMD chips would beryllium portion of that section. The presumption shows that MSI’s treatment of Intel chips was embargoed to October 10th.
