Apparently, one of the users mistakenly revealed slides of Ryzen 9000X3D series desktop processors at one of MSI’s internal conferences; Processors that do not seem to have experienced a significant performance improvement over the previous generation; Just like Intel’s Arrow Lake series.
According to the slides leaked by HardwareLuxx, the new Red Team CPUs will likely show significant multi-core performance compared to the previous generation. Apparently, the octa-core 9000X3D outperforms the Ryzen 7 7900X3D by up to 28% in the Cinebench R23 benchmark.
Despite the better benchmark score, MSI’s initial tests on Black Myth: Wukong and Shadow of the Tomb Raider show that AMD’s new X3D processors only perform about two percent better in games.
MSI says that the performance of the X3D series processors are so close to the regular Ryzen 9000 models that there is no significant difference between them. However, MSI expects the performance of the final models to be released to the market to improve.
It is still unclear whether the HardwareLuxx website gained unauthorized access to confidential information or whether MSI was somehow involved in the disclosure.
