AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU specs leaked, huge increase in base clock speed to 4.7GHz and 120W TDP

AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU specifications have been leaked and include details of clock speeds and TDP values.

AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU specs revealed ahead of launch: 4.7GHz base clock makes it the fastest among the Ryzen 9000 stack

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU is expected to debut this week, offering next-level gaming performance that wasn’t present in this CPU upgrade cycle. The chip is designed exclusively for gamers and is reinforced by its 3D V-Cache stack, which has made great strides in the last two generations of 3D V-Cache CPUs based on the Zen 3 and Zen 4 cores has. Now it’s time for Zen 5 to get the 3D V-Cache treatment.

According to specifications disclosed in MaxSun’s CPU support documentation for its AM5 socket-based motherboards, the manufacturer confirms that the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D will be a major upgrade over existing offerings. The CPU is incorrectly listed as “Ryzen 9 9800X3D”, but the official name should be Ryzen 7 9800X3D as the Ryzen 9 series includes the 12 and 16 core parts.

As for the specs, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to feature 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 core architecture. The CPU is said to operate at a base clock of 4.7 GHz, which is 900 MHz higher than the Ryzen 7 9700X and 500 MHz higher than the last-generation Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU. The boost clock was previously listed as 5.2GHz for all cores, but according to Hoang Anh Phu, the 5.2GHz should also be the chip’s maximum boost, making it 200MHz faster than the 7800X3D’s 5GHz boost.

Now the Ryzen 7 7800X3D was also rated with a TDP of 120W, but its actual power consumption in games was much lower, mostly even below 100W. The CPU supports PBO and CO and can be further optimized for even better performance and lower power consumption. Gigabyte has developed its X3D Turbo BIOS feature, which is said to provide up to 35% better performance, although it is likely to achieve such high levels on dual CCD 3D V-cache chips such as the 7950X3D and 7900X3D successors will achieve.

• Ryzen 7 9800X3D (Zen 5): 8 cores / 16 threads / 4.7 ~ 5.2 GHz / 96 MB cache / 120 W
• Ryzen 7 7800X3D (Zen 4): 8 cores / 16 threads / 4.2 ~ 5.0 GHz / 96MB cache / 120W
• Ryzen 7 5800X3D (Zen 3): 8 cores / 16 threads / 3.4 ~ 4.5 GHz / 96 MB cache / 105 W

As for the 3D V-cache amount, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D will provide 96MB of L3 cache, which is a combination of 32MB of L3 on the CCD and 64MB through the stacked V-cache. There is also 8MB of L2 cache available, bringing the cache pool to 104MB. The CPU is listed as “C0” stepping and is supported on AM5 motherboards with the latest BIOS AGESA 1.2.0.1a or later if you want to get the best possible support. AMD also has new 3D V-cache optimization and chipset drivers that are a must for these chips.

The Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs will also feature some seriously fast memory support with speeds of up to 8800 MT/s, which we featured in our recent exclusive report, while the AMD 3D V-Cache CPUs will be the first to feature full overclocking support.

With Intel indicating that its Core Ultra 200S “Arrow Lake” CPUs will lag roughly 5% behind the Ryzen 7000 3D V-Cache offerings, the next-gen Ryzen 9000X3D will be somewhere in the double-digit range, making them powerful gaming Processors makes options for the PC audience. Now we look forward to the efficiency improvements and prices at which the Ryzen 9000X3D series will be offered.
