The Ryzen 7000X3D V-Cache processors are AMD's new lineup of CPUs for gaming, set to compete for the top spot in the market. A leaked benchmark of the flagship Zen 4 processor, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, suggests that it outperforms Intel's Core i9-13900K in gaming by 11% on average. The benchmark tested the Ryzen 9 7950X3D with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 in five different games at 1080p resolution and maximum graphics settings. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D's performance margin varied across different games, with up to 35% higher performance in Assassin's Creed Valhalla and only 2% lower performance in Star Control compared to the Core i9-13900K.

The Ryzen 9 7950X3D is set to launch on February 28 for $699, which is the same as the original MSRP for the Ryzen 9 7950X. However, the Ryzen 9 7950X currently retails for as low as $576, making the Ryzen 9 7950X3D 21% more expensive. Comparing the Ryzen 9 7950X3D to the Core i9-13900K, which currently retails for $570, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D only provides gamers with 11% faster gaming performance at a 23% higher price tag.

The Ryzen 7000X3D V-Cache processors may have tradeoffs in creativity applications, which could impact their ranking on CPU benchmarks. The review embargo for the Ryzen 7000X3D V-Cache processors allegedly lifts on February 27, one day before the chips hit the retail market. It's best to wait for reviews before making a final purchase decision.
