AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

[Stu999]

TBC but expected to be Jan (announced at least).

That’s a shame, weren’t the launches about a week apart last time?

 

[Dave2150]

When is the 9950X3D due?

Think the latest rumour is January.

It’s hard to see Intel competing with AMD in gaming without their own vcache CPUs… Beaten by 2 generations now.

Intel’s comment:
Shush

AMD’s comment:
The 9800X3D is 110% worth the £450 pricetag. We’re basically competing with ourselves. AIO cooler not required…

Intel did something similar back in Broadwell days with the Core i7-5775C, which had 128MB of e-DRAM as an L4 cache when the internal gpu wasn't being used.
It made a huge difference in games, but it was largely ignored and forgotten about.

I don't know why it didn't catch on more at the time. Cost maybe? Didn't think they needed it to compete with AMD in games at the time?

Look at the BIOS version and the AGESA version that’s included in that specific BIOS version - each AGESA version has updated code and often for newly launched processors

Thanks. Yes I had a look. As you’ll see from these images, they aren’t showing which update the boards will boot from… which I think means doing a flashback update before inserting the CPU.

Annoying as I’d much rather do a fresh install and then update the bios, but I’ll live!

So just looking for advice here if that is not rude, or derailing the chat. Currently on a 5700x with B550 board with a 6800xt looking to upgrade GPU next year but moving on to AM5 this year. Am looking to get the 9800X3D or the 7800X3D (suspect they are not going to be that far apart price wise) does that sound reasonable (i game at 1440p) I appreciate initially I may not get a massive uplift in FPS but maybe some since I am not on a X3D CPU.

I am going from 9900k to 9800x3d, my main issue is that I want higher 1% lows, I am fed up of stutter. It should also help with games like Space Marine 2 and Cyberpunk where I am CPU limited. It also gets me gen4&5 nvmes and PCIE slots

I was getting all ready for a nice upgrade then stopped and thought "what is there I actually want to play?"

Still feel like my i9 9900 is due replacing though...

The other thing to consider with 9900 is that if you are planning on 5090 like I am, the gen3 pcie slot would be holding back the gen5 card quite substantially, I am still on 3080ti so have no issues right now. Interested to see how much more juice the 9800x3d can squeeze out that card. Ive got it waterblocked so its free to rip as hard as it likes

 

[MoridinUK]

Any news on when Overclockers may stock it?

 

[MoridinUK]

You may not remember the original PC turbo buttons that downclocked the CPU

I remember the one that stepped it up to 33mhz... Oh my old 486... my first home built pc...

My dentist appointment is at 2pm, was tempted to cancel it

careful, they may reschedule for you at "tooth hurty" and you wouldn't want that.

 

[Grim5]

New record, 9800x3d 6.9ghz all core. Over 1000fps in counter strike

Funny thing is it needs high voltage for 6.9ghz but power draw stays low, just 100 watts while gaming at 6.9ghz, how efficient is that!?

Performance at 6.9ghz is 35% faster than stock

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Achieves Over 1000 FPS In CS2, Over 2000 FPS in Valorant With 6.9 GHz Overclock At Just 100W

AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU is aimed at being the most proclaimed gaming chip ever made & achieves over 1000 FPS in popular esports titles.

Is stock levels likely to be an issue ?

When I called them yesterday they couldn't confirm if they would have stock or if it would be pre-order only

Bloody hell!
Anyone know if Tesco sell LN2?

cheers, I'm all set to press "buy" later today, and Sunday is set for build day

Only with a Clubcard

AMD are probably staggering the launches this time to maximise the price they can get for the 9800X3D as it'll be the only option for a while and then no doubt to get those double dippers to move to the 9950X3D when that one launches.

 

[HappySheep]

No one you trust to order it for you? "Got your the 7600x you wanted".

careful, they may reschedule for you at "tooth hurty" and you wouldn't want that.

I will have to ask to go toilet at 2pm

You just know the dentist is going to leave you mouth open in the chair at 2pm while he orders his 9800x3D "Sorry about that".
