AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Leaked Specs Confirm Performance Boost and 120W TDP
The highly anticipated AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is just around the corner, and recent leaks have shed light on its key specifications. MaxSun, an AMD CPU partner, has inadvertently listed the CPU on their AM5 CPU support list, revealing details about its performance and power consumption.
While the listing initially appeared to call it a Ryzen 9 CPU, evidence from leaked packaging suggests this is a mislabeling, and the 9800X3D is indeed a Ryzen 7 SKU.
Ryzen 7 9800X3D: What We Know So Far
The leak confirms several key points about the upcoming CPU:
- First Wave of 3D V-Cache: The 9800X3D appears to be the only model launching in the initial wave of 3D V-Cache processors. This suggests the 9950X3D and 9900X3D might follow at a later date.
- 120W TDP: The CPU will have a 120W TDP, a significant increase from the 65W TDP of the Ryzen 7 9700X. This likely contributes to the higher base clock speed.
- 96MB Cache: The 9800X3D retains the 32MB L3 cache of its predecessor but adds a whopping 64MB of 3D V-Cache, resulting in a total of 96MB.
Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs. Ryzen 7 9700X: Key Differences
- Core Count: 8 cores (no change)
- Base Clock: 4.7 GHz (+300 MHz)
- Boost Clock: Unknown
- L3 Cache: 32MB + 64MB 3D V-Cache (+64MB)
- TDP: 120W (+55W)
The 4.7 GHz base clock represents a substantial boost over the 9700X and likely contributes to the increased power consumption.
While the exact boost clock speed remains unknown, the 9800X3D is poised to deliver significant performance gains in gaming and other applications that benefit from high clock speeds and large cache.
Keep in mind that these details are based on leaks, so take them with a grain of salt until official confirmation from AMD.
We’re eagerly anticipating the release of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and can’t wait to see how it performs against the competition. Stay tuned for more updates and benchmarks as we get closer to the launch date!
