New details about the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor have emerged. In particular, there is a significant increase in clock speed. According to the leaks, the base clock speed of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will be 4.7 GHz, compared to 4.2 GHz of the previous Ryzen 7 7800X3D. However, gaming performance may be lower than expected, especially in some games.

What will the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor offer?

First, leaks show that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D offers a significant increase in base clock speed. The 4.7 GHz clock speed is a significant difference from the 4.2 GHz clock speed of its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. And the new processor doesn’t stop at speed.

Equipped with a 96 MB L3 3D V-Cache, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is also quite ambitious in terms of memory. This massive cache is said to significantly improve gaming performance. It also comes with 120W TDP, meaning it uses power in a balanced way. This allows us to avoid unnecessary energy consumption while providing high performance.

Of course, not everything is rosy. There are rumors that in some games the performance of the processor may be a bit lower than expected. But overall, it is expected to perform quite well, especially in tests like Cinebench.

The release date of the new Ryzen 7 9800X3D is also very close. On October 24, 2024, it will be officially unveiled and will hit the shelves shortly after. In 2025, AMD plans to launch even more powerful models, the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D. These models will come with even more 3D V-Cache, raising the performance bar even higher.
