AMD confirms early November launch for Ryzen 7 9800X3D
After weeks of leaks, speculations and rumours, the much-anticipated AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D finally has a launch date. You can pick it up via qualifying retailers on November 7. Its price will be revealed at a later date. Rumours suggest it could cost between $500 and $550. Additionally, other Zen 5 SKUs get a price cut starting on October 20.
- Ryzen 9 9950X: Up to $50 off
- Ryzen 9 9900X: Up to $30 off
- Ryzen 7 9700X: Up to $30 off
- Ryzen 5 9600X: Up to $30 off
A new set of leaked benchmarks show the Ryzen 7 9800X3D can boost up to 5.6 GHz with PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) enabled. It has eight cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 4.7 GHz, TDP of 120 Watts and 96 MB of L3 cache in total.
Specs-wise, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is more or less identical to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, so all of its performance benefits will come from the Zen 5 architecture and the increased base/boost clocks. However, the added overclocking support will allow you to extract a bit more performance out of it.
