Ryzen processors marked AMD’s return to the market to bring the high-end central processing unit competing with Intel. The long-awaited Ryzen 7 9800X3D is finally confirmed by its makers.
The invitation for the October 23 event for A-Club Leader Alliance has already been out which will be conducted in Macau, China. It also suggests an official announcement on October 25 and a potential launch of the processor in November.
The initial Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 processors were not up to the mark and the 3D V Cache models of the Ryzen 9000 series are very much anticipated. The fast launch is also said to be a competition with the Intel Core Ultra 200 series launching on October 24. MaxSun, the manufacturer of computer motherboards with partnerships with AMD confirms the details of the anticipated Ryzen 7 9800x3D. MaxSun has listed the supported CPUs and the anticipated CPU is one among them.
The processor is designed for gamers. It is powered by a 3D V-Cache stack that has shown great performance over the two generations of CPUs based on the Zen 3 and Zen 4 cores. The new chip is based on the Zen 5 core.
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the only 3D V-Cache model of the Ryzen 9000 series and will be available early after the launch and can expect Ryzen 9 9950X3D models later sometime. It is the only 3D V-Cache model launching in the first wave as there is no mention of other models like 9950X3D and 9900X3D.
There are quite a few differences between the 9700X and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The base clock is 900 MHz more than the previous one, 4.7 GHz. The boost clock is 300 MHz less, that is 5.2 GHz. 94 MB is increased in L3 Cache, that is, 32 MB + 64 MB 3D V-Cache. An additional 8 MB of L2 cache is also included making the cache pool 104 MB. TDP is 55W increased to 120W. Both the processors have eight cores.
The CPU also supports PBO and CO, which can be further optimized for improved performance and lower power consumption. It will be supported on AM5 motherboards making use of the latest AGESA 1.2.0.1a or above BIOS for the most optimized support. These chips also have the much-needed chipset drivers and 3D V-Cache optimization.
The Ryzen 9000X3D series will also have really fast memory support up to 8800MT/s speeds. The AMD 3D V-Cache CPUs will have full overclocking support, which is the first one to have the feature.
The gaming CPU is said to be released next month and retailers have already started preparing for it. This announcement will be out this week, and preorders are also likely to start then. The 8-core gaming CPU is likely to be listed in TechAmerica and ShopBLT and has confirmed to have the product code to be 100-000001084.
The pricing of the processor is also based on anticipations. TechAmerica and ShopBLT have given a price range from $484 to $524, which is much higher than the anticipated price. It is also claimed to be the same price as 7800X3D, $449.
On the PDF shared by MaxSun, the CPU is named Ryzen 9 9800X3D, but the manufacturers confirm that the most anticipated and the latest model is Ryzen 7. It is clear that the PDF has made an erroneous mention of the processor’s name.
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is likely to be a high-performing CPU for the gaming audience who use a PC. The following days would be curious as the Intel Core Ultra 200S “Arrow Lake” CPUs are also about to be launched, but it is said to be 5% slower than the 3D V-Cache CPUs.
