AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Overclocked to 5.46 GHz, Beating Ryzen 7 7800X3D by 27%
We are days away from the official November 7 launch of AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU with 3D V-Cache, and we are already seeing some estimates of the speedup compared to the last-generation Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU. According to a Geekbench submission discovered by Everest (Olrak29_) on X, the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been spotted running at a clock speed of 5.46 GHz. This is a 260 MHz increase from the official boost frequency of 5.2 GHz, which indicates overclocking has been applied. If readers recall, the last generations of X3D processors had overclocking disabled, and this time, things are looking different thanks to the compute die being placed on top of SRAM. AMD attributes this to CCD being closer to the heat spreader instead of memory and allowing it to spread heat more effectively, ensuring a stable overclock.
Regarding performance, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D outperforms its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, by an impressive 27.4% in the single-core Geekbench v6 test and 26.8% in the multicore test. The last generation CPU scored 2,726 points in single-core and 15,157 points in multicore tests, while the new Zen 5 design has managed to produce 3,473 points in single-core and 19,216 in multicore tests. These results are approximately 27% improvement over the Zen 4, suggesting that the Zen 5 architecture benefits greatly from better SRAM bandwidth and capacity. While these results only come from synthetic benchmarks, they give us a picture of what to expect from this CPU. We have to wait for more real-world test cases to fully conclude the improvement factor.

if it does, then zen 5 is legit memory bandwidth starved, if adding more cache (and therefore reducing trips to ram) provides disproportionate gains in the bench scores compared to zen 4
if that's the case then im definitely looking forward to zen 6 with a better memory controller and, hopefully, improved infinity fabric - a 11950x3d with these improvements would be sweet ;)
SRAM doesn't increase bandwidth.
Larger L3 caches increased the hit rate with less cache misses.
All caches on Zen 5 have double the bandwidth of Zen 4.
I've always said that the 7800x3d was puny:laugh:
I kinda like the X3D's efficiency. The hard single thread perf isn't always the limiting factor, 7800X3D already bumps into engine limits more often than not. It remains to be seen how much of this % translates into meaningful performance. But yeah, its good AMD has a product that separates itself from their previous one nonetheless.
I'm really quite interested how this performs in sim games.
What in lazy reporting is this.
Yes it outperforms the last generation while stock, which I'd certainly hope (looking at you Intel). But it also is clearly overclocked.
The 9800x3d does overclock -- I was responding to a post.
"So an overclocked next generation cpu outperforms the last generation at stock clocks?"
is really:
"So an overclocked next generation cpu outperforms the last generation at ANY / MAX clocks?"
-yes, and that's actually pretty exciting considering that last gen X3D is currently the fastest in gaming.
