Rendering – Blender
I use the BMW 27 scene in Blender.
The 9800X3D is not that fast compared to CPUs with more cores, but the improvement is vast compared to the 7800X3D.
Rendering – Cinebench R23
Given the number of cores, Cinebench performance is good, with a notable lead from the 7800X3D.
Rendering – Cinebench 2024
In Cinebench 2024, the 9800X3D notably outperforms the 7800X3D.
Media Encoding
I converted a 4K video to HD format with 30 frames per second using Handbrake and three different compression algorithms.
The 9800X3D once more has a notable performance lead from the 7800X3D.
Puget Benchmarks
Puget is a PC-building company specializing in video editing systems. Puget has created several benchmark tests for popular video and photo editing applications to evaluate its systems. It has also been kind enough to provide free (and paid) versions of its products to the rest of the world.
Top performance in Photoshop, where it seems a large amount of cores isn’t essential; however, this is not the case for Premiere, where the number of CPU cores makes a difference.
