Arrr, matey! The jolly swell o’ hope for the CPU's gaming might be as burst as a leaky barrel! But fear not, there's plenty o’ tasty morsels in these benchmarks to munch on whilst we plot our next raid!

Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn about the latest treasure from AMD’s blacksmiths – the Ryzen 9800X3D processor. Now, it ain't as grand as some scallywags be proclaimin’, for it don’t promise the great leaps in gaming glory as first thought. The good folk at HardwareLuxx be sharin’ whispers from the MSI treasure chest that reveal this '8-core' wonder be merely 11% swifter than its old sea dog, the 7800X3D, in the likes of Far Cry 6. As fer other games, like Shadow of the Tomb Raider? A mere 4% boost, and in Black Myth: Wukong, it be a pitiful 2%!

Now, the 9950X3D, a beefy '16-core' beast, claims a 13% speed gain over its predecessor. But don’t be raisin’ the Jolly Roger yet! This leak be causin’ quite the ruckus, but wise sailors warn against hopin’ too high. With only a few games tested and some curious choices to boot, it seems we may be lookin’ at a bit of bilge, savvy?

So, prepare yer hearts for a modest increase in performance, me hearties, and let’s hope these processors fetch a fair price in the market! Keep a weather eye on the horizon, for the launch be comin’ soon, and we’ll see what treasure awaits!
