AMD has officially announced Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the next-generation processor for gamers and performance seekers. AMD’s new flagship Zen 5-based processor offers up to a 20% performance advantage over Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K. Even in graphics-intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077, this difference reaches an impressive 59%. Here are the details
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D launches on November 7 with a price tag of $479
AMD has used an innovative design in this processor. In the internal structure of the processor, the 3D V-Cache is located between the core module (CCD) and the heat spreader (IHS), enabling higher frequencies. This allows the Ryzen 7 9800X3D to reach a base frequency of 4.7 GHz and a boost frequency of 5.2 GHz, making it stand out not only for its speed but also for its energy efficiency.
Equipped with 8 cores and 16 threads, the processor has a TDP of 120 watts and a total cache capacity of 104 MB. These specifications enable the processor to deliver high performance in multitasking. In addition, AMD’s overclocking support will enable users to push the processor to its limits to further improve performance. The processor will be available on November 7 with a price tag of $479.
If you’re an existing Ryzen 7 7800X3D user, upgrading to this processor will provide a performance boost, but it may also make sense to wait for AMD’s Ryzen 9 9900X3D or Ryzen 9 9950X3D models, which are expected to be announced at CES 2025. These high-end models will enter the market with extra cores and faster speeds, especially for advanced gamers and content creators.
