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.

I managed to beat it in 3 tests, by 2%, but overall 15% behind. I have 6400MHz RAM.
I'd expect 170 tops before you reach a speed limit, not a power limit.
Still 20% more than my geekbench, which is impressive:
But they dont say what cooling they are using
The real question, though, which nobody asks, is what are the results, with both 7800X3D, and 9800X3D, put face to face using 7800X3D stock clocks? Because this would be real indicator of performance growth/gains, technology advancement, and superiority. Also what is the performance gains and difference, at least possible clocks and voltages? How much the CPU is drawing at these lowest settings, and how much it scales, if clocks being raised?This is very much true. The OC days are gone. It was just a crunch, to squeeze additional juice from chips, at the expense of longevity and stability, in era, when the CPU power was starving. And the chips were so big and rough technologically, that there was a little difference between OC and stock clocks/voltages.
Now with the much delicate and refined technology, even the low tier CPUs are capable of "feeding", even high-end videocards, the eficacy is more important and valuable. And the winner is the one, who spends less, for the same, or bigger performance. Now all the efficiency gains, being thrown out of the window, even with slightest OC, because the chips are indeed being pushed to the limits "at the factory".
You don't.. you keep using it until its old.
Meanwhile the guys on old X3D are like yeah good upgrade coming..
I paid 650 for my 58X3D brand new when it came out, they are still going for 500 buy it now on the bay..
It's like buying a new phone every year—uneconomical unless you always need the best.
As some people say, only upgrade if there's a 30% jump, which 7800X3D to 9800X3D isn't.
Wait for Ryzen 11000 series or some weird name. I'm sure AMD is reserving 10000 for Zen 5 with iGPUs
