AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 7 9800X3D has shown impressive performance in recent PugetBench benchmarks for Adobe applications. The chip scored 14,201 points in Premiere Pro and 10,487 points in Davinci Resolve, a 5% improvement over its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, in Davinci Resolve tests.
Compared to non-X3D counterparts, the 9800X3D was 41% faster in Premiere Pro and up to 46% faster than previous-generation chips. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D also narrowed the gap with higher-tier competitors. It nearly matched the performance of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D in Premiere Pro while being 14% slower in Davinci Resolve.
Against Intel’s Core i9-14900K, the 9800X3D held its ground despite the latter’s higher core count.
