- According to a new leak, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has clock speeds of 4.7 to 5.2 GHz.
- The CPU features second-gen 3D V-Cache technology.
- AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a high power draw of 120W.
Days before the November 7 launch of the AMD Ryzen 9000X3D processor lineup, the specifications for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D were leaked and shared on social media. The specs for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D indicated that the upcoming processor will fare better than the Ryzen 7 9700X in some aspects, but come with a higher power draw.
The leak came just two days after the tech giant pulled back the curtain on its upcoming plans for its gaming processor lineup. In a social media post, AMD stated that the Ryzen 9000X3D series of CPUs would be released worldwide on Thursday, November 7. At the time of writing, pricing information remained unavailable. One of the key features of the Ryzen X3D processor lineup compared to other Ryzen units is the inclusion of AMD’s patented 3D V-Cache technology to vastly improve gaming performance. However, the tradeoffs of using a Ryzen X3D CPU include lower clock speeds and the inability to overclock the system, in addition to the higher initial costs.
