AMD Introduces Next-Generation AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Processor, $479, Nov 7
Today, AMD unveiled new desktop computing products, delivering enhanced performance for gamers. The lineup features the new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Desktop processor, based on the "Zen 5" architecture and utilizing 2nd Gen AMD 3D V-Cache technology.
With the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, AMD has re-engineered its cutting-edge on-chip memory solution with 2nd Gen AMD 3D V-Cache technology. The 64 MB cache memory has been relocated below the processor, which puts the core complex die (CCD) closer to the cooling solution to help keep the "Zen 5" cores cooler, delivering high clock rates and providing up to an average 8% gaming performance improvement compared to our last-gen generation and up to an average 20% faster than the competition. This revolutionary change in placement allows for extreme overclocking of the processor. It's the first X3D processor to be fully unlocked, empowering enthusiasts and gamers to push its performance to new limits.
"We continue to push the boundaries of performance and innovation in desktop computing, delivering solutions that exceed the needs of gamers and creators alike," said Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager, computing and graphics, AMD. "With the introduction of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, built on our advanced 'Zen 5' architecture, we are elevating gaming performance like never before. Featuring innovative 2nd AMD Gen 3D V-Cache technology, this processor reflects our commitment to excellence and our ability to innovate in ways that redefine the industry."
Delivering Performance for Gamers
Combined with the advanced "Zen 5" processor architecture, the AMD 3D V-Cache technology works to attain the highest processor gaming performance on the market. While the generational uplift in average FPS is about 8%, many games such as Star Wars Outlaws will experience double-digit percentage improvements generationally. What's more, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor can demonstrate substantial generational improvements in minimum frame rates even when average frame rates are similar, providing the user with an experience that feels smoother, with less stutter - for instance, in The Last Of Us: Part 1, where the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a similar average frame rate compared to the competition, but a 31% higher 1% low frame rate.
Introducing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D Desktop Processor
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the ultimate solution for the PC gaming market, with eight high-performance "Zen 5" processor cores and 16 processing threads ready to make quick work of gaming and productivity tasks. 4.7 GHz base clock speed is combined with a 5.2 GHz max boost clock, and these represent the highest clock speeds ever on an X3D chiplet. A hearty 120 W TDP and its huge 104 MB of total cache provides the processor with the power it needs to perform.
Partnering with Game Developers
"We're thrilled to team up with AMD as the exclusive CPU, GPU, and APU partner for Call of Duty. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor's exceptional performance and efficiency will elevate the gaming experience to new heights, ensuring our players enjoy unparalleled gameplay. This partnership marks a significant milestone for Call of Duty and AMD, and we're excited to see what we can achieve together," said William Gahagan, senior director, global partnerships at Activision.
"We've been so thrilled to collaborate with AMD on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2," said Tim Willits, chief creative officer, Saber Interactive. " The power and innovation of AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor has allowed us to push the boundaries of what's possible, delivering an unparalleled gaming experience. Having faster high-performance hardware is always exciting to us because it means we have more power to deliver more innovation, better immersion, and more fun."
"Our long-standing partnership with AMD has been instrumental in bringing our most ambitious game design ideas to life," said Szymon Jabłoński, technical director, 11 bit Studios. "Without the support of AMD, groundbreaking titles like Frostpunk 2 and the upcoming sci-fi epic The Alters may not have been possible. Now, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor's power and efficiency allow us to push the boundaries of what is possible in gaming. With AMD as our exclusive CPU, GPU, and APU partner, we can create immersive worlds and intricate gameplay that our players have come to love. We look forward to continuing this journey with AMD and seeing where our combined innovations can take us."

Single core P4 EE in 2004 msrp $ 999
they were "sensitive" to SOC voltage when motherboard manufacturers in their infinite wisdom pumped like 1.5v SOC volts into it when the max safe is 1.3
my 7800x3d runs at 105 eclk for an effective 5.3ghz, seldom uses more than 50w in games, and puts out chart topping performance in games
voltage-sensitive my ass, if that was the case you'd see 7800x3d's dying left and right
Not to mention the 8% increase in MSRP.
Edit:
Out of curiosity, looked at the TPU review of 285K - by same method that thing has 76MB cache :D
Looking forward to the 9800x3d.
Yes 8% faster in gaming is not that much, but it will probably be 15-20% faster in productivity, which was a weakness area of the 7800X3D.
I guess 7800X3D higher prices these days hint at something being not quite right as well.
Edit: Speaking of... Why do you think the 9800X3D will be 15-20% better in productivity? It's not what we see with the 9700X vs the 7700X.
This price seems pretty par for the course really. If anything, the steep discounts on the 7800X3D spoiled people. Now that Intel has shown it can't fight back at all... I wouldn't expect to see those again.
i hate intel!
9800x3d will not make such a price and last gen 7800x3d price will not increase so much to 2899CNY,without the problems happened in intel's 13th\14th cpus!
AMD has the same problem with different chiplet processors in certain Windows 11 scenarios. At least both chiplets support all the cpu instructions.
So comparing a windows 11 only processor with a generic processor sometimes do not make any sense.
Ditto productivity, few do enough so that the seconds saved actually make a difference to their work day.
A cpu from the last few generations will do the same job. Only edge cases need bother upgrade now.
It's stagnation, Intel showed it with their release. Improvements to main stream use cases from new CPU generations are now largely over.
When 9700x was later tested at 105w and with the Windows 11 24H2 performance fix, it easily gained 5-15% in both games and productivity.
The 9800x3D will be a 120w CPU, the same as the 7800x3D, but will run with 5-10% higher clocks (unlike the 9700x which ran at lower clocks compared to 7700x)Agreed. At 2K and especially 4K resolutions most of the CPUs will have similar FPS, that's where 1% lows become more important and reviewers should focus on more.
7800X3D has a 76W power limit. what 9800X3D actually consumes remains to be seen, we will see that from reviews.The problem is that in most cases 1% lows scale to the same things as averages - more cores, more frequency and more cache helps.
