A new AMD Ryzen "PRO" series processor has just shown up on PassMark, but this time it's an X3D part, which we've never seen for this lineup before. Recognized as the "Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D," this chip also exceeds the established core count limit for a Ryzen PRO CPU. We only have three samples recorded in the Passmark database, and this benchmark is notoriously not the best for being representative of real-world performance, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
The 9965X3D scored 65,111 points in the CPU Mark test, which is about 7% lower than the 70,201 points the 9950X3D achieved. In single-threaded performance, the 9965X3D trails the 9950X3D by just 2.7%, scoring 4,614 points compared to 4,743 points, respectively. Again, these benchmarks aren't too indicative of real-world performance. More importantly, the listing highlights the specs for the chip as featuring 16 cores and 32 threads with an L3 cache pool of just 32 MB.
