- AMD is expected to officially reveal the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in the coming days.
- This chip has been spotted with a 4.7GHz base clock speed and a 120W TDP.
- Fans hope to see the new x3D series performing much better than the previous Zen 5 releases.
Following disappointing results over the already-solid Ryzen 7000 lineup, the Ryzen 9000 CPUs has seen rapid price cuts and discounts recently.
Fans have now turned their attention to the 3D V-Cache options for Zen 5 CPUs, hoping that the likes of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D fare better. With AMD expected to officially unveil this chip next week, leaks have pointed to a major bump in clock speed, creating buzz within the community.
Why it matters: AMD’s Zen 5 lineup of processors debuted earlier this year, but the new chips left much to be desired.
Leaked ahead of time by an official Maxsun document, the upcoming processor is said to support a base clock speed of 4.7GHz. For reference, this is a 300Mhz boost over the standard Ryzen 7 9700X.
The last-generation Ryzen 7 7800X3D also ran at a much more modest base clock of 4.2GHz. According to leaks, the upcoming chip still sports 96MB of L3 cache, but AMD has added an extra 8MB of L2 cache to bring the total up to 104MB of cache.
Elsewhere, the TDP has remained at 120W. When combined, this should lead to solid improvements in gaming workloads, particularly with games becoming more CPU-dependent in recent years.
If marketed right, the upcoming CPUs could also give AMD a competitive advantage over Intel after the Core Ultra 200 lineup showed disappointing results compared to its predecessors.
It should be noted that MaxSun listing the CPU as the ‘Ryzen 9 9800X3D’ is likely an error. Moreover, this listing means that no other x3D chips are launching for the time being, making the Ryzen 7 9800X3D the only upcoming option.
