    Overclocked Ryzen 7 9800X3D Hits 6GHz for Ultimate Gaming Boost

    With the introduction of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD has once again strengthened its position in gaming against Intel. The latest Intel Core Ultra Arrow Lake processors fall short in comparison, failing to match even the standard Zen 5 CPU, let alone the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which puts them in a less favorable light as gaming CPUs.

    Performance and Efficiency

    In our analysis, we found that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D not only outperforms the Ryzen 7 7800X3D but also does this without increasing energy consumption. This boost in gaming performance is paired with a reduced operating temperature and an increase of 200 MHz in boost frequency. Recently, Tony Yu from Asus China has managed to push the Ryzen 7 9800X3D beyond its usual clock speed limits using Liquid Nitrogen (LN2), yielding some remarkable results.

    Record-Breaking Benchmarks

    During Tony Yu’s testing, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D achieved a staggering boost clock of 6.9 GHz in Counter-Strike 2, which translated to an impressive frame rate of 1,200 FPS. In the Cinebench R23 Multi-Core benchmark, the overclocked Ryzen 7 9800X3D achieved a score of 30,513, representing a 31% improvement compared to our review sample.

    It’s important to note that these benchmarks were conducted under LN2 cooling conditions, which isn’t something many users will experience. Nevertheless, the CPU’s capabilities showcased here are awe-inspiring, especially considering how Ryzen X3D CPUs have historically lagged in clock speeds against their non-X3D versions.

    A Shift in Trends

    Since the debut of the first Ryzen processors featuring 3D V-Cache, starting with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, X3D models have consistently had lower clock frequencies than their non-X3D alternatives. For example, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D experienced a 400 MHz and 200 MHz reduction in base and boost clocks when compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X. Similarly, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D had a 600 MHz disadvantage in both base and boost clocks against the Ryzen 5 7600X (Available on Amazon). Other CPUs in the Zen4X3D line, like the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, Ryzen 9 7950X3D, and Ryzen 7 7800X3D, follow the same pattern.

    In contrast, the Zen 5 Ryzen 7 9800X3D breaks this pattern slightly, offering a base clock that is 900 MHz higher and a boost clock that is 200 MHz slower compared to the 8-core Ryzen 7 9700X. With the architectural advancements AMD has integrated into the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, we hope to see the clock speed gap narrow even further in the future.

  • Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs 7800X3D: Major Gaming Boost with Zen 5 X3D

    Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs 7800X3D: Major Gaming Boost with Zen 5 X3D

    We’ve seen a lot of leaks about the Ryzen 9000X3D lately. There are talks of possible lower prices and increased V-Cache for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. The upcoming Zen 5 Ryzen 9000X3D processors are expected to strengthen AMD’s gaming advantage over Intel even more. This is particularly relevant now since the new Intel Core Ultra 200K “Arrow Lake” CPUs likely won’t provide any gaming performance improvements compared to the 14th generation chips.

    New Specifications

    As for the specs of the Ryzen 9000X3D, rumors suggest that these chips will have faster clock speeds than the Zen 4 models. A recent video on bilibili has shown the Ryzen 7 9800X3D working at a significantly higher all-core boost clock compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

    The video from bilibili claims that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D features a base clock of 4.7 GHz, with the ability to boost all cores to 5.2 GHz during what seems to be Cinebench 2024. While we don’t have the benchmark data, the 5.2 GHz all-core clock speed is quite thrilling for several reasons.

    Performance Improvements

    Firstly, if the Ryzen 7 9800X3D really hits an all-core frequency of 5.2 GHz, it would mark a notable 400 MHz rise over the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which peaks at 4.8 GHz across all 8 cores. Interestingly, the 400 MHz increase matches the bump we saw from the Ryzen 7 7800X3D (4.8 GHz) to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (4.35 GHz).

    Moreover, hitting a 5.2 GHz all-core boost clock could indicate a single-core boost reaching between 5.4 and 5.5 GHz. Just for reference, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a single-core boost speed of 5 GHz. Since many games benefit from higher single-threaded frequencies, this means greater gaming performance in most cases.

    Conclusion

    Also, when we factor in the IPC improvements from the new Zen 5 architecture, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D appears to be a solid upgrade compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. This should please AMD enthusiasts who were let down by the underwhelming gains of standard Zen 5 processors.

    Before we conclude, just remember to take this information lightly, as we currently lack official confirmation regarding the specs of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
