AMD’s budget X3D processor from the Zen 3 family has shown good performance in synthetic tests like Geekbench. However, its gaming capabilities remain unknown.
Ryzen 5 5500X3D Benchmarked in Geekbench 6.4: Similar Single-Core Performance and 13% Stronger Multi-Core Prowess Compared to Ryzen 5 5500
This is likely the first Geekbench benchmark of the recently released Ryzen 5 5500X3D CPU, which launched in June. Although the Ryzen 5500X3D isn’t available worldwide, its capabilities can be seen through various platforms. Previously, it showed superior multi-threaded performance at PassMark compared to the Ryzen 5500. Now with Geekbench tests, we see that the 5500X3D is once again the better option.
Geekbench scores for Gigabyte B550M AORUS ELITE show:
– Single-core: 1,932 points
– Multi-core: 8,225 points
Compared to a recent Ryzen 5 5500 test on Linux:
– The 5500X3D performs nearly 13% better in multi-core tests.
In both single and multi-core tests, the 5500X3D is equally strong as the Ryzen 5500. Despite featuring lower base and boost clocks, it is not only on par but also surprisingly faster in multi-core performance. On Geekbench, the “base” frequency is listed at 4.27 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.0 GHz.
As for PassMark, more sample tests improve score accuracy. Geekbench results can vary greatly from test to test, making Cinebench R23 one of the best ways to determine accurate CPU performance.
Currently, the Ryzen 5500X3D is looking great, but its gaming capabilities remain unknown. It should be much superior due to higher L3 cache. The Ryzen 5500 has half the L3 cache (16 MB), while the Ryzen 5 5500X3D has 96 MB. Additionally, it can operate at a higher wattage, which could contribute to its better performance.
In summary, the Ryzen 5500X3D is an excellent budget gaming processor, but availability remains limited to Latin America. AMD may launch it in other regions later, but we’ll have to wait and see if they expand its availability.
