According to unofficial sources, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor should appear at the end of October (some say even at the beginning of November). It will be a kind of vanguard of the X3D series, other models are expected after the New Year (namely Ryzen 9 9950X3D with 16 cores, Ryzen 9 9900X3D with 12 cores and Ryzen 5 9600X3D with 6 cores was also mentioned). AMD has mentioned that the Ryzen 9000X3D series will bring unspecified improvements, and anecdotal sources say that they could mainly concern support for higher clock frequencies.
If we are to believe the leak via a video from the BiliBili platform, then the octa-core Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a base clock of 4.7 GHz (500 MHz higher than the 4.2 GHz base clock of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D) and in the CineBench load it achieves an all-core boost of 5.1 GHz (400 MHz more than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D managed in this load), which is even more than the single-core boost of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D (5.0 GHz).

How AMD achieved this with the same process is not yet clear. Micrographs of chiplets Zen 5 showed that the interface for V-cache almost disappeared, the contacts for individual connections were significantly reduced and the number of contacts was reduced by approx. 2.5x.
So it is clear that there have been quite significant changes related to V-cache, but the reduced interface alone does not explain the support for higher frequencies. One of the speculations is the deployment of a two-layer V-cache, which would allow the area to be reduced to cover only a smaller area of silicon (actually only L3 cache), which would ensure the possibility of better heat dissipation from the processor cores themselves. However, there are other theories.
400-500 MHz clock frequency together with a new architecture Zen 5 could bring quite an interesting shift in game performance. Quite unpleasant for Intel, which at yesterday’s presentation of desktop processors Arrow Lake admitted that this series brings virtually no change in game performance.

Performance Expectations
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to deliver impressive performance, with reported Cinebench 2023 scores of 2145 in single-core and 23315 in multi-core tests <a href="https://www.hwupgrade.it/news/cpu/ryzen-7-9800x3d-sara-ben-di-piu-che-una-fantastica-cpu-per-giocare131516.html”>[1]. These numbers suggest that the processor will be an excellent choice for gaming and content creation. The 3D V-Cache technology integrated into the processor is expected to provide a significant boost to gaming performance, making it an attractive option for gamers seeking high frame rates and smooth gameplay.
Packaging and Design
Recent images of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D packaging have been revealed, providing a glimpse into the processor’s design <a href="https://morethantech.it/pubblicazioni/3453ryzen-7-9800x3d-rivelato-il-packaging”>[3]. The packaging appears to be similar to previous Ryzen processors, with a compact design and a focus on aesthetics.
Future Releases
AMD is reportedly planning to release additional X3D series processors in the future, including the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D, expected to arrive in 2025 [2]. These processors are expected to offer even higher performance and more advanced features, further solidifying AMD’s position in the high-end CPU market.
Conclusion
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is shaping up to be an exciting release for AMD, offering impressive performance and innovative features. As the first processor in the X3D series, it sets the stage for future releases and further establishes AMD’s commitment to delivering high-performance CPUs. With its expected release at the end of October or early November, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is poised to capture a significant share of the high-end CPU market, making it an attractive option for gamers, content creators, and enthusiasts alike.
