    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.

    Ryzen 9000X3D Benchmarks: 9800X3D Outperforms 7800X3D

    The AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs appear to be on the verge of their launch, as recent leaks and speculations strongly suggest that an announcement for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D will take place in October. New information shared by @CodeCommando_ on X indicates that the upcoming X3D CPUs are set to deliver an impressive increase in performance compared to the Ryzen 7000 series.

    Performance Gains

    If the multi-core Cinebench R23 results are to be believed, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D could be 18.4% quicker than the Ryzen 9 7950X3D (currently priced at $618 on Amazon), which averaged 35794 points during our testing. However, it’s worth mentioning that Cinebench R23 is becoming somewhat outdated, with Cinebench 2024 taking its place due to better accuracy and higher CPU loads, making it more fitting for today’s powerful processors. This improvement in performance aligns well with what we’ve come to expect from the Ryzen 9000 series.

    Gaming Relevance

    The eight-core Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which is typically more important for gamers, shows particularly exciting developments, with both single-core and multi-core performance metrics experiencing a notable uplift in comparison to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

    When we examine the performance results of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D from our thorough testing, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D seems to boast about a 35.6% advantage in multi-core tests. The single-core benchmark is just as striking, with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D achieving a 24.3% enhancement over the 7800X3D.

    Reasons Behind the Boost

    These substantial performance gains are likely attributed to the efficiency improvements brought by the Ryzen 9000 series. Additionally, there are whispers of significantly larger V-Cache chips, with one dedicated chip assigned to each CCD, which may help resolve some scheduling problems that affected prior X3D models.

    According to @CodeCommando_ on X, these developments could signal an exciting new chapter for AMD’s CPU lineup.
