AMD is gearing up to make waves with its latest release, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Recently, this new processor flexed its muscles on PugetBench, a platform known for testing performance in creative applications like Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. The results showcased the Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s impressive capabilities, surpassing many of its Intel counterparts, except for the more premium Core Ultra 9 285K.
Set to launch on November 7, the Ryzen 9000X3D series is AMD’s strategic response to Intel’s Arrow Lake-S lineup. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, with its 8-core architecture, has already appeared in several benchmark tests, indicating it aims to offer stellar performance, especially for creators.
In the PugetBench tests, the Ryzen 9800X3D achieved 10,487 points on DaVinci Resolve and an impressive 14,201 points on Premiere Pro. These tests involved systems equipped with 32 GB RAM and an RTX 4090 GPU on an Asus X870E motherboard. This setup highlights AMD’s determination to deliver power without compromise.
However, it’s crucial to contextualize these results. While the Ryzen 7 9800X3D performs admirably, it doesn’t quite match the heftier Core Ultra 9 285K and competes closely with Intel’s Core i7-14700K. That said, benchmark scores can vary widely based on numerous factors.
For those in the creative industry, familiar with PugetBench’s evaluations, these early benchmarks of AMD’s ‘Granite Ridge’ family provide valuable insights into its non-gaming prowess. Coupled with previously leaked Cinebench scores, it looks like AMD is ready to challenge Intel head-on in the performance stakes.
Overall, as AMD prepares to roll out the Ryzen 9000X3D lineup, excitement is brewing for what these processors will bring to the table, particularly for creatives seeking robust, efficient solutions for demanding tasks.
