AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Benchmarks:

Cinebench:

Cinebench tests processors for responsiveness and power in both intensive tasks (multi-core) and general daily usage tasks (single-core). The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D put up some serious numbers, well worthy of becoming AMD's new flagship processor.

3DMark:

3DMark's CPU Profile tests single- and multi-thread performance. Again, we see incredibly solid numbers, really showcasing that the new 3D V-Cache is doing a lot to boost the Ryzen 7 5800X3D's power.

3DMark Time Spy Stress Test:

3DMark's Time Spy stress test puts every element of the computer under heavy load and checks how well it can maintain a constant frame rate. And while this test isn't just about the CPU, it does require a strong processor to deliver a 98.4% stability rating.

PassMark:

PassMark's CPU Mark test puts the processor through a number of different tests, including maths, physics, and compressions tests. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D scored a whopping 22,843.5, pushing close to workstation-level processing.
