AMD has unveiled the details of the Ryzen 9000X3D, a gaming CPU powerhouse based on the Zen 5 architecture utilizing vertical 3D V-Cache. Touted as “the king of gaming processors is back.”
The initial CPU in this lineup is the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, boasting 8 cores and 16 threads (equivalent to the Ryzen 7 9700X but lower than the 12-core 9900X), clocked at 4.7/5.2GHz, with a massive 104MB L2+L3 cache, and fabricated using TSMC’s cutting-edge 4nm process.
AMD’s benchmarks indicate that the 9800X3D outperforms its predecessor, the 7800X3D, by up to 26% in games like Hogwarts Legacy, while seeing a marginal 1% improvement in Cyberpunk 2077.
Not content to simply surpass itself, AMD challenges Intel’s top-of-the-line Core Ultra 285K CPU, boasting performance gains of up to 59% in Cyberpunk 2077.
Priced at $479, slightly higher than the current $469 price tag of the 9900X, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will hit the shelves on November 7th.
While the previous 7000X3D series featured three sub-models, the 7800X3D, 7900X3D, and 7950X3D, the upcoming release of only the 9800X3D raises speculation on whether we’ll see versions like the 9900X3D and 9950X3D in the near future.
TLDR: AMD introduces the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, set to dominate the gaming CPU landscape with its innovative 3D V-Cache technology.
