The innovative AMD 3D V-Cache technology expands the portfolio of leading desktop processors. AMD has created a desktop processor that delivers enhanced performance for gamers. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is built on the Zen 5 architecture and utilizes second-generation AMD 3D V-Cache technology.
In the Ryzen 7 9800X3D model, AMD has redefined the advanced on-die memory solution with second-generation AMD 3D V-Cache technology. The 64MB cache has been moved beneath the processor, allowing the complex compute die (CCD) to be positioned closer to the cooling system, enabling Zen 5 cores to cool more efficiently. This results in high clock speeds and an average 8% performance boost in gaming compared to the previous generation, as well as an average 20% speed advantage over competitors. This revolutionary placement enables extreme overclocking. It is the first fully unlocked X3D processor, providing enthusiasts and gamers with the ability to push its performance to new limits.
Combining the advanced Zen 5 processor architecture with AMD 3D V-Cache technology ensures the highest gaming performance on the market. While the average FPS increase between generations is around 8%, many games, such as Star Wars Outlaws, will see double-digit percentage gains. Moreover, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D significantly improves minimum frame rates, ensuring a smoother gaming experience with reduced stuttering. For example, in The Last of Us: Part 1, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D delivers similar average frame rates to competitors but achieves a remarkable 31% improvement in minimum frame rates.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best choice on the gaming PC market, featuring eight high-performance Zen 5 cores and sixteen threads, ready for fast gaming and demanding workloads. Its 4.7GHz base clock pairs with a 5.2GHz Max Boost clock – the highest clock speed ever in an X3D chipset. A 120W thermal design power (TDP) and a massive 104MB total cache provide the power needed for peak performance.
