Der AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D ist ein High-End-Prozessor, der speziell für Gamer und anspruchsvolle Anwender entwickelt wurde. Er basiert auf der neuesten Zen-5-Architektur von AMD und wird im fortschrittlichen 4-nm-Verfahren gefertigt, was nicht nur höhere Effizienz, sondern auch eine bessere Leistung ermöglicht. Mit seinen 8 Kernen und 16 Threads bietet der 9800X3D eine solide Basis für rechenintensive Anwendungen.
Der größte Vorteil des AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D ist die 3D V-Cache-Technologie, die komplett überarbeitet wurde und sich signifikant von den Modellen der 7000er-Serie unterscheidet. Die Änderungen resultieren in einer deutlich gesteigerten Taktfrequenz und einer besseren Wärmeverteilung. Der interne Aufbau besteht weiterhin aus einem I/O-Die sowie einem CCD. Letzterer beinhaltet die 8 Kerne sowie den 3D V-Cache und wird im 4nm-Prozess hergestellt. Beim I/O-Die hält AMD weiterhin am 6nm-Herstellungsprozess fest. Die Taktraten steigen im Vergleich zum Vorgängermodell spürbar. So beträgt der Basistakt 4,7 GH/z, wenngleich im Turbo bis zu 5,2 GH/s möglich sind.
Neben der überragenden Gaming-Performance überzeugt der AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D auch in produktiven Anwendungen. Während er speziell auf Spieleoptimierung ausgelegt ist, schneidet er in Anwendungen wie 3D-Modellierung, Videobearbeitung und anderen kreativen Workloads spürbar besser ab als ein AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
Die Leistungsaufnahme des AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D beträgt 120 Watt, welche als PPT maximal 162 Watt beträgt. Damit gibt es in diesem Punkt keine Änderungen im Vergleich zum AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Aufgrund gesteigerter Leistung kann die Effizienz des AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D spürbar gesteigert werden. An die Effizienz der Arrow-Lake-Prozessoren kommt AMD allerdings trotz deutlich besserer Gaming-Leistung nicht heran.
The Ryzen 7 8745HS is a China-only Hawk Point family chip that never received an official launch. Targeted at gaming and productivity laptops but widely used in mini-PCs, too, the 8745HS features 8 cores (16 threads thanks to SMT support) running at up to 4.9 GHz, along with the still fairly capable Radeon 780M iGPU. There is no NPU here.
As an APU meant for use within China, this Ryzen 7 should be fully compliant with the Chinese government-approved cryptography standards.
The only difference between the 8745HS and the 8745H is the slightly lower default wattage of the latter, potentially leading to slightly lower clock speeds.
Performance
We fully expect this Zen 4 architecture processor to be about as fast as the Ryzen 7 7745HX (8 Zen 4 cores, 3.6 GHz to 5.1 GHz) meaning its multi-thread performance is a little better than the Core Ultra 9 185H but a few percentage points behind the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370.
Architecture and Features
Unlike Zen 3, Zen 4 features AVX512 support along with other improvements, like larger caches/registers/buffers across the board. Elsewhere, the 8745HS has 16 MB of L3 cache and a fast RAM controller (up to LPDDR5x-7500 and up to DDR5-5600). There are 20 PCI-Express 4 lanes for connecting devices such as NVMe SSDs (1.97 GB/s per lane) and graphics cards; USB 4 / Thunderbolt support is onboard, too. Please note that the APU isn't overclockable and neither is it user-replaceable. It gets soldered on to the motherboard for good (FP7r2 or FP8 socket interfaces).
Graphics
The Radeon 780M (12 CUs / 768 shaders, up to 2,600 MHz) can drive 4 monitors simultaneously with resolutions as high as SUHD 4320p. It will also have little issue hardware-encoding and hardware-decoding the most widely used video codecs (AV1, AVC, HEVC). As far as gaming is concerned, many titles are still playable at 1080p as of early 2025 albeit with most settings dialed down do Lowest or Low.
Power consumption
This Ryzen 7 series chip has a long-term power limit (default TDP) of 35 W to 54 W, giving system makers a choice between improving battery life and making the system they're designing faster. Either way, an active cooling solution is a must for a laptop or a mini-PC built around this APU.
The Ryzen 9 9950X is a very, very powerful desktop CPU of the Granite Ridge product family that features 16 Zen 5 cores (32 threads), PCIe 5 support and a basic iGPU. The Ryzen was launched in June 2024, with sales slated to start in August.
The 9950X shares some of the specifications with the mighty Zen 4-powered Ryzen 9 7950X, including (but not limited to) the 16 MB L2 cache, the 64 MB L3 cache, the 5.7 GHz top clock speed and the 170 W long-term TDP.
Architecture and Features
Just like Strix Point APUs, Granite Ridge processors make use of the new Zen 5 microarchitecture. However, there are no efficient cores here; all of 9950X's cores are full Zen 5 cores. Furthermore, Granite Ridge is a multi-die design with only the CPU cores produced using a fairly modern 4 nm TSMC process. Strix Point processors are a single-die design, from what we know.
According to AMD, Zen 5 delivers a 16% IPC improvement over Zen 4 thanks to branch prediction improvements and other refinements.
Elsewhere, the 9950X has an impressive 64 MB of L3 cache and 24 direct PCIe 5 lanes (3.93 GB/s throughput per lane) with up to 12 additional PCIe 4 lanes available depending on the motherboard. It supports DDR5 RAM as fast as 5,600 MT/s (up to 8,000 MT/s if overclocked).
The 9950X is unlocked for overclocking. Naturally, the AM5 socket CPU supports Windows 11, 64-bit Windows 10 as well as many Linux distros.
Performance
According to early July leaks, its multi-thread performance is about as good as that of the 24-core Core i9-14900K Intel CPU. We'll definitely update this section once we get our hands on a system powered by the 9950X.
Graphics
The Radeon 610M comes equipped with just 128 unified shaders running at up to 2,200 MHz. Its gaming performance is slated to be extremely low and only just sufficient for pre-2020 games in resolutions such as 1024x768.
Power consumption
The CPU cores are built with TSMC's N4P process for good, as of mid 2024, power efficiency. (Apple is the leader in this regard with the second-generation 3 nm process.)
The Ryzen 9's long-term TDP is 170 W. It'll probably consume up to 250 W when under heavy short-term loads. If overclocked, the power consumption figures will increase significantly.
