Full specifications of AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D have been leaked, and it's great news for gamers and overclockers alike

specifications for AMDThe upcoming Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been leaked ahead of its scheduled launch on November 7, and that’s good news for gamers.

The leak remains consistent with the previous marketing release leak. Performance increase over previous model 7800X3D. As detected Without Video CardThe leak originates from Geizhals, a price comparison tool used by retailers in Europe. Although the accuracy of the information cannot be fully determined at this point, it is likely to be correct; After all, leaks from retailers tend to be more reliable than anonymous claims made on social media.

AMD’s upcoming CPU will reportedly use eight Zen 5 cores with a base clock speed of 4.70 GHz, which can be boosted up to 5.20 GHz (a 0.20 GHz jump). AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3DOnce the CPU multiplier is unlocked, users will be able to manually overclock this new processor. This wasn’t possible on previous AMD CPUs that used 3D V-Cache, which could be a significant boon for overclocking enthusiasts.

The leaked specs are the same as the 7800X3D (AMD’s best processors), but the aforementioned marketing leak suggested that the 9800X3D could have an 8% performance boost over AMD’s current high-end gaming CPU. This is reportedly powered by ‘Next Generation 3D V-Cache’, but Geizhals’ leak doesn’t seem to add any further information.

What does this mean for players?

AMD’s 3D V-Cache is a nifty tool for PC gamers as it effectively triples the amount of available cache on the processor; It’s something almost any game can easily take advantage of, but it’s especially valuable in CPU-bound games.

Content creators in particular can take advantage of the rumored Next-Gen 3D V-Cache, as it will improve performance when running multiple apps simultaneously (for example, having OBS or Twitch open in the background while gaming).

Of course, it’s important that we wait for AMD’s official announcement to find out whether the leak’s suggested improvement in gaming performance is indeed the case – and if so, it could go a long way in improving gaming experiences on PC for many people.
