For those who’ve been eagerly ready to know extra concerning the extremely anticipated, gaming-focused variant of the Ryzen 9000 CPU collection, then the latest 9800X3D leaks are doubtless excellent news for you.
AMD already confirmed that it was going to announce Ryzen 9000X3D chip variants on November 7, however there received’t be a lot thriller left when that date lastly rolls round. One mannequin specifically was noticed just about in all places this weekend: the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
The 9800X3D might be essentially the most anticipated chip within the upcoming collection, because the last-gen 7800X3D is likely one of the hottest CPUs round for its mixture of punchy efficiency and (comparatively) inexpensive worth.
In accordance with specs posted by VideoCardz.com, taken from varied retailer listings that appear to have been posted early, the 9800X3D makes use of an 8-core, 16-thread design with a base clock of 4.7GHz boosted as much as 5.2GHz at a most. That’s consistent with final gen with some notable bumps, and it’s sooner than the 9700X and sucks down extra juice at 120 watts of TDP. The L3 cache, which incorporates the “special sauce” 3D v-cache that can provide a giant enhance to gaming efficiency, seems to be the identical 32 + 64MB setup because the 7800X3D.
Notably, listings are exhibiting that the 9800X3D has a free multiplier characteristic. That signifies that overclocking will in all probability be unlocked on the system degree, one thing that was missing in earlier X3D variants. In actual fact, some early overclocking exams have already leaked — with apparently secure speeds reaching as much as 5.6GHz. These exams present enhancements over the 7800X3D by 8 to 23 p.c, although Intel’s Core Extremely 9 collection continues to be beating it out in uncooked numbers with extra major cores.
Even so, as a simple improve to present AM5 techniques (appropriate with current motherboards!) that may apparently be overclocked out of the field, there’s cause to be excited for these new X3D chips. However whereas the leaks are convincing, you may wish to curb your enthusiasm and take into account all of this unconfirmed till subsequent week.
