MSI leak shows AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D gaining up to 9% performance with optimizations

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D gains 9 to 12% performance in games thanks to optimizations

MSI’s internal testing of 8-core Zen4 CPU with 3D V-Cache has been leaked.

Hardware leaker “chi11eddog” who clearly has access to many of the MSI pre-launch materials, how now revealed what the company expects in terms of gaming performance from the upcoming Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU.

As we know, the third SKU with Zen4 architecture equipped with 3D V-Cache technology is to launch very soon (April 6th). Tomorrow we should see comprehensive test results from many reviewers, but AMD and all board partners are just as busy preparing their tests, either for internal purposes or marketing.

MSI has determined that the optimizations can provide a 2% to 4% boost in average. The document claims 9% to 12%, but those are individual results. The memory upgrade alone will give a 2% increase, with high-efficiency mode increase by 1% and another percent with Enhanced Mode Boost (these are MSI profiles for Precision Boost Overdrive).

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Optimizations (average):

• 100%: Stock
• 102%: DDR5-6000
• 103%: DDR5-6000 + High-Efficiency Mode
• 104%: DDR5-6000 + High-Efficiency Mode + Enhanced Mode Boost

The system used for testing has been equipped with MSI X670E Tomahawk motherboard, Kingston Fury DDR5-6000 EXPO kit, RTX 4090 GPU and MSI AIO/PSU. Such system was used to test the Ryzen CPU in seven games at 2560×1440 Max Quality setting.
