AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D "Zen 5" Spied in Cinebench, Boosts up to 5.20 GHz All-core
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is rumored to launch sooner than expected, with the company targeting at least an announcement within October, with reviews and product availability within Q4 2024. The chip combines the latest "Zen 5" microarchitecture with 3D V-cache technology, and is expected to increase AMD's gaming performance outlook compared to the 7800X3D, which remains the fastest processor for gaming. An alleged screenshot of the processor grinding away at Cinebench surfaced, which reveals that the processor is capable of a 5.20 GHz all-core boost frequency, and comes with an impressive 4.70 GHz base frequency.
To put these clock speeds into perspective, the current Ryzen 7 9700X processor without the 3D V-cache, comes with a 3.80 GHz base and 5.50 GHz maximum boost frequency. This would be the first time that an X3D SKU is coming with a higher base frequency than a regular SKU. For example, the 7800X3D comes with a 4.20 GHz base frequency compared to the 4.50 GHz of the 7700X. Interestingly, the 5.20 GHz all-core boost frequency of the 9800X3D is on par with the all-core boost of the 9700X, which only hits 5.50 GHz boost on lightly threaded workloads. It remains to be seen what TDP and package power tracking (PPT) values AMD gives the 9800X3D, given that it had to retrofit the SKU with a 105 W cTDP mode via firmware, to eke out an up to 10% performance gain over the original specs.

Power consumption will be higher though. I'm skeptic about it since 7800x3d is a great one for gaming with low power consumption. The 9800x3d is going to be faster but at higher power consumption so not much of a celebration.
Given the lower temps now I'm not worried tho.
Weren't there rumours of October release? Was that just a clever ploy to force Intel to stop fidgeting, finalize and release it's processors, and now AMD can go back to previous plan, maybe vague announcement in October, "release" much later and availability when they feel like it?
IIRC:
First rumor: 3D models in october, or even september.
Second rumor: 3D models in Q1.
Third rumor: 9800X3D in october - november, the rest in Q1.
The first two rumors never differentiated between models, so they were actually right in some sense. Then again, it may all be completely wrong alltogether, since it's all still.. rumors.

However mine also runs at 103 MHz eCLK, 2133 MHz FCLK and I had my daily stuff running in the background.
Apparantly a stock 7800X3D would run it at 4.8 GHz.
Also, those those dreamy 9000/200 CPU posts aged like fine wine lol
@Vayra86 's chip may not just be relevant for a long time. At this rate, he may be able to sell it in ten years and retire on the profit.
We are different people who look at different aspects of the product.
Constantly increasing power consumption, to get more performance is not an advancement. You don't worry about it today but what about tomorrow? Intel did it with the 13th and the 14th gen and look where it got them. Real innovation lies somewhere else than increase power to get more performance, or perf/power metric.
The reason I focused on temp and not W is that the former was more of a subject the last time.
