Tons of reviews and rumors have gone flying round regarding the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, together with launch dates, clock speeds, and extra. However due to a brand new leak from the motherboard producer, we could now have a good suggestion of the specs it’s packing.
Maxsun, which manufactures the motherboard for the processor, has appeared to disclose some juicy data concerning the chip. Curiously sufficient, it’s known as the AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D within the leak however more than likely it’s the Ryzen 7. In response to the itemizing, it has a TDP of 120W and 96MB of cache, together with 32MB of L3 cache and 64MB of 3D V-Cache. This implies the cache dimension remains to be the identical as in earlier fashions, which actually isn’t nice.
The leaked doc additionally reveals that the bottom clock velocity is 4.7 GHz — 900 MHz sooner than the 9700X. More than likely that is because of the TDP being greater within the 9800X3D. The leak additionally states that it’ll have a boosted clock velocity of 5.2 GHz, which might oddly be 300MHz slower than the 9700X. This all strains up with an earlier leak that confirms the identical data. As for single-core clock velocity, that hasn’t been revealed presently but it surely’s assumed to be 5.4/5.5GHz.
If previous reviews are to be trusted, then we must always have official affirmation of the 9800X3D’s specs on October 25, 2024. Although more than likely the precise launch date can be someday in November 2024.
Disappointing rumored efficiency
Although base clock speeds appear to be promising sufficient (whereas boosted not a lot), a current report from a German tech web site appears to level to moderately unimpressive benchmark scores. In gaming comparisons, the Ryzen 9800X3D is 11% sooner than the 7800X3D in Far Cry 6. Shadow of the Tomb Raider sees an uptick of solely 4% and Black Fantasy: Wukong a dismal 2%.
Cinebench does look a bit extra promising on this regard, with an enormous efficiency improve of round 18% and 28% sooner than its predecessor for single-core and multi-core, respectively. However nonetheless, contemplating that is speculated to be a next-gen chip, the general outcomes are moderately lackluster.
