AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

[Hostile_18]

Anyone else picking this one up on (likely) the 7th November?

Looking forward to pairing this up with a 5090 early next year!

Rumored specs;

Specifications of the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor were leaked to the web by a Geizhals listing. The chip comes with a processor base frequency of 4.70 GHz, and a maximum boost frequency of 5.20 GHz. The base frequency of 4.70 GHz is a significant increase from the 4.20 GHz of the current 7800X3D, while the maximum boost frequency has moved up a couple of notches from the 5.05 GHz of the 7800X3D. The TDP of the processor is set at 120 W, same as the 7800X3D, and higher than the 105 W revised-spec cTDP of the non-X3D Ryzen 7 9700X.

The specs sheet also confirms that the 3D V-cache size is unchanged generationally. The stacked 3D V-cache die adds 64 MB to the on-die 32 MB L3 cache, which is exposed to software as a 96 MB contiguously addressable L3 cache. The per-core L2 cache size remains 1 MB per core. The biggest contributor to generational gaming performance increases will rest on the increase in frequencies, the new "Zen 5" microarchitecture and any IPC improvements on offer, plus L3 cache performance improvements AMD introduced with "Zen 5." We recently reported a spectacular theory that AMD has designed the 9800X3D such that the stacked 3D V-cache is positioned below the 8-core CPU complex die chiplet, and not above it, which should significantly improve thermals, and clock speeds.

@LtMatt how many are you getting this time round!?

I will definitely be getting it, i was holding out for the 7800x3d to build my last (this) rig but i got fed up of waiting so settled for a 7700X... I'm 100% buying the 9800X3D.

I got a 7600x waiting for the 7800x3D but it didn't quite move the needle for me at 4k (Tech Power Up always tests at different resolutions which is really handy). I'm definitely going to get this one as long as the price is £480<. Any more for ! 5-8% improvement over a £330 78003D isn't going to work and I think it would be super unlikely AMD prices is that high.

This sounds pretty good if it can be turned on and off as needed in Windows (or whatever OS)

Isn't that what the scheduler is meant to do with no user input?

I'm glad I won't have to worry about it with the 9800x3D in any case.

 

[Hostile_18]

Any hints as to how much stock OCUK will get this time round? How long did it take the 7800x3D to sell out? If I remember correctly the OCUK price was pretty competitive!

 

[Hostile_18]

I'm going to go with £449 prediction. I think the 7800x3D was £429 here at launch IIRC.

 

[Hostile_18]

I wonder if the 5090 will make more games CPU limited at high resolutions, or perhaps that's what I'm telling myself to help with this purchase!

 

[Hostile_18]

Think it was sub £330 last BF?

With Jedi Survivor.

@Gibbo I'm currently doing the campaign on PC Building Simulator 2. I have a new CPU launch coming up should I advise my customers I will have a lot of CPUs for launch, a reasonable amount for launch, or a very small amount?

Should my customers be expecting to pay a real premium or do you think I can let them know it will be priced fairly competitively?

As you can tell I take this game really seriously, so any advice you can give will be appreciated.

Is it still worth putting the X3D chips in eco mode? From memory I put my 7600x in eco mode 65w and it boosted higher because it was cooler? (IIRC).

+1% in Cyberpunk, let's gooooo.

Does this board not do what you want?

I have this board it's really good. I have all 4 nvme slots populated, with a 4090, 6 sata ports, no compromises. Lots of little details that make it my favorite motherboard.
