After a long wait and a week earlier than planned, AMD has just presented the best gaming processor on the market, the successor to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. We are talking about Ryzen 7 9800X3Da processor that will hit the market on November 7, the date on which its official announcement and availability on the market was scheduled.
The new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor is based on Zen 5 architecturelike the Ryzen 9000 range that was presented last August and uses technology Second generation 3D V-Cache.
Ryzen 9800X3D specifications
AMD has redesigned the AMD 3D V-Cache technology by placing the 64 MB cache memory below the processor, placing the CCD closer to the cooling system so that the cores work at a lower temperature, which allows it to offer a higher clock speed and It offers an average performance improvement of 8% compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and is 20% faster. Intel Core Ultra 9 285K that Intel launched on the market last week.
It is important to note that this new AMD processor is the first in the X3D series fully unlocked, allowing gaming enthusiasts overclock get better performance.
A benchmark of this new processor appeared on the Anandtech website that, using the AMD Precision Boost Overdrive application, had managed to raise the maximum speed of this processor to 5.6 GHZ, offering 35% more multi-core performance than the Ryzen 7800X3D. But of course, performance in a test of this type is one thing and the performance it is capable of offering in games is another.
As we had published weeks before, the new Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor has 8 Zen 5 cores high performance accompanied by 16 threads. It has a base speed of 4.7 GHZ, 500 MHz more than its predecessor and maxes out at 5.2 GHZ, 200 MHz more than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
Contrary to what one might think, this performance improvement implies a greater energy consumptionHowever, this is not the case, since this new processor has exactly the same consumption as the 7800X3D, which is 120W. The total cache memory of the new processor is also the same as what we can find in the previous generation.
Price and availability
The new Ryzen 7 9800X3D will hit the market on November 7 and will do so at a price of $47930 dollars more expensive than its predecessor. At the moment we do not know the price in euros, but if we take into account that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D arrived in Spain for 549 euros, if doing the dollar-euro conversion more than what they want to add, the final price will be less than 600 euros, 579 euros in the best of cases and 599 euros in the worst of all.
Based on the difference in performance without overclocking that this new processor is capable of offering, it is not really worth upgrading the equipment if we already enjoy the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. But if your processor is not this one, if you want to enjoy the best performance in games, you will only find the best option currently available on the market in the Ryzn 7 9800X3D.
