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.
 
@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.

My take is that you could have got almost the same level of performance as a 9800X3D for nearly £200 less 6 months ago, unfortunately that ship has now sailed and those of us who waited are now stuck with higher prices.

If we can overclock 5.5-5.7ghz that should make a big difference between the two CPUs shouldn't it?

I may get one when I'm forced to move to Win 11 in a year and do a fresh OS install plus by then the price will hopefully be better. The reason being, I'm laziness. And moving from 6 cores to 8 ideally requires a fresh Windows install or there can be issues (Windows may not correctly manage all the cores in games/apps).

The 7800X3D real world power/temps are actually really impressive and not all that far off my 7600 non-X so I'm sure it'll be fine. Plus I think we're done with CPU temps now aren't we? It's plug and play and if it's less than 95C it's in spec.

Wait I'm upgrading from a 7600x to a 9800x3D. I had no idea core counted meant a reformat. That will be a pain. :(

On a straight currency conversion I get:

$479 = £369.59, with VAT = £443.50

Best case scenario I think would be £480. £500 - £550, I wouldn’t be surprised.

The $479 already includes the profit margin though. Would UK retailers really add that much on top? People in the US have the same competition as we do CPU wise.
