Binning results from 13 Ryzen 7 9850X3D processors have been published online, revealing interesting information about the nature of this CPU.

Binning Data Analysis

The data shows the average voltage required for each 9850X3D to reach its maximum single-core clock speed. The analysis suggests that the 9850X3D may essentially be a 9800X3D pre-overclocked directly at the factory, operating at higher voltages.

Implications

This implies that the superior performance of the 9850X3D compared to the 9800X3D may primarily stem from an increase in operating voltages, rather than significant architectural differences or more stringent selection of higher quality chips (binning). For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs between performance and energy consumption to consider carefully.
