AMD has officially announced the upcoming launch of the Ryzen 9000X3D, set for November 7. The key model to be unveiled is the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which promises to deliver enhanced gaming performance with an 8% increase compared to its predecessor, the Ryzen 7800X3D.
Promotional materials describe the Ryzen 7 9800X3D as the “fastest gaming processor in the world,” highlighting its impressive 96 MB of L3 cache. This cache capacity matches the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and the 7800X3D, but the 9800X3D incorporates next-generation 3D V-Cache technology, which offers improved thermal performance. This advancement enables higher clock speeds, reaching up to 5.2 GHz.
For context, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D had a maximum clock speed of 4.5 GHz, while the 7800X3D could reach 5.0 GHz. This combination of increased clock speed and enhanced cache technology positions the Ryzen 7 9800X3D as a compelling option for gamers seeking top-tier performance.
Ryzen 7 9800X3D Performance
AMD’s recently leaked marketing material has provided further insights into the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, set to be unveiled on November 7. Notably, the new processor is expected to deliver an 8% performance increase in gaming compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. In contrast, when AMD launched the AMD 7000X3D, it claimed that the AMD 7 7800X3D offered up to a 30% improvement over the 5800X3D in gaming scenarios.
