AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU has been benchmarked again, this time scoring an impressive ST score with a 5.5 GHz overclock & great multi-thread performance.
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 3D V-Cache is launching this week, but we have another benchmark of the chip that showcases its strong advantage over previous-gen X3D offerings with overclocking.
In terms of specs, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is going to feature 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 core architecture. The CPU is said to operate at a 4.7 GHz base clock which is 900 MHz higher than the Ryzen 7 9700X and 500 MHz higher than the last-gen Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU and a boost clock of 5.2 GHz, which would be 200 MHz faster than the 5 GHz boost of the 7800X3D. The CPU will pack 32 MB of L3 cache, 64 MB of 3D stacked cache (2nd Gen), and 8 MB of L2 cache. The CPU will also feature a TDP of 120W.
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU was tested on Geekbench 6.3, using the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard with 32 GB of DDR5-6000 memory. We saw in previous benchmarks that PBO can push clocks close to 5.3 GHz (5.2 GHz stock) but this time, the CPU was clocking at around 5.5 GHz.
