A recent Cinebench 2024 test indicated that the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D may increase its base clock speed to 4.7 GHz, compared to the 4.2 GHz on the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. However, its performance in gaming might not be as stellar in certain games. A document from a motherboard manufacturer was discovered by Videocardz, which confirmed this clock speed and provided additional insights about AMD's new CPU.
Specifications Unveiled
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D retains the same 96 MB of L3 cache as the previous two Ryzen 7 X3D models. It also features a thermal design power (TDP) of 120 Watts. While other specifications remain unclear, it is anticipated that it will maintain the 8-core configuration, with one chiplet having complete access to the additional L3 cache.
Anticipated Launch Date
Although AMD has not officially announced it yet, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is projected to be released on October 24, with sales expected to start a week or two later. The other two Zen 5 X3D models, the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D, are anticipated to debut next year, and if the rumors hold true, they might feature enhanced 3D V-cache.
