Overview
- Two Geekbench entries spotted by Tom's Hardware show the chip boosting to 5.6 GHz and scoring 3,439 single‑core and 17,530 multi‑core, roughly in line with the 9800X3D.
- Another listing capped at 5.2 GHz posted 3,260 and 16,149, with outlets cautioning that DDR5‑4800 memory and pre‑release firmware may be limiting performance.
- A new PassMark submission reports a 41,840 CPU Mark, about 5% ahead of the 9800X3D and roughly 20% over the 7800X3D, based on a single early sample.
- Leaks consistently describe an 8‑core, 16‑thread Zen 5 part with 96 MB of L3 on a single X3D CCD, up to 5.6 GHz boost, and a 120 W TDP.
- Coverage points to a likely CES 2026 unveiling, and AMD has not announced official specifications, pricing, or availability.
