AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D leak reveals unlocked multiplier, 5.2GHz boost clock

Rumor mill: AMD is gearing up to motorboat its first Ryzen 9000 processor featuring 3D V-Cache connected November 7, but aggregate leaks person already provided insights into its performance. A new, extended leak appears to corroborate nan rumored specifications of nan Ryzen 7 9800X3D, expected to beryllium nan flagship CPU successful AMD's upcoming lineup.

According to a listing connected nan European value comparison website Geizhals, nan Ryzen 7 9800X3D will characteristic 8 Zen 5 cores and 16 threads. It reportedly offers a 4.7 GHz guidelines timepiece and a 5.2 GHz boost timepiece – some higher than those of nan 7800X3D, which has a 4.2 GHz guidelines timepiece and a 5.0 GHz boost clock. The 9800X3D is besides expected to person a 120W TDP, matching nan 7800X3D.

As for cache, nan 9800X3D is listed pinch 104MB of full cache: 8MB of L2 (8 x 1MB) and 96MB of L3 (32MB soul + 64MB stacked). It will support up to 192GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600 representation astatine 1 DIMM per channel. Additional specs see support for 28 PCIe 5.0 lanes (24 accessible) and an RDNA 2 "Granite Ridge" iGPU clocked up to 2.2 GHz.

Additionally, nan leak suggests that nan upcoming Ryzen processors will support each AMD 600-series motherboards, including nan A620 and PRO workstation lines. It besides appears that nan 9800X3D will usage nan aforesaid "GNR-B0" silicon arsenic existing models. Notably, nan Tjmax has been raised to 95 degrees Celsius from 89 degrees connected nan 7800X3D, aligning it pinch nan different Ryzen 9000 (non-X3D) CPUs.

The listing confirms that nan 9800X3D will characteristic an unlocked multiplier, which is invited news for overclocking enthusiasts. If accurate, this would correspond a important displacement from nan erstwhile procreation of 3D V-Cache CPUs, which had locked multipliers and didn't support accepted overclocking.

AMD is expected to merchandise charismatic benchmarks for nan 9800X3D adjacent week. However, caller leaks bespeak it could present up to 8 percent higher gaming capacity than nan Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The leaked archive besides reaffirmed compatibility pinch each AM5 motherboards, including models featuring nan X870E/X870 and X670(E)/B650(E) chipsets.
