More rumors for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D have surfaced, showing an impressive-looking turbo boost clock speed and potential release dates. If any of the rumors for AMD’s next gaming processor featuring 3D V-cache technology are true, then the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D could end up being one of the most sought-after CPUs in 2024/2025. This latest pair of tidbits point to a potential release before the holidays and a turbo clock rate which could see it besting many of the most powerful gaming CPUs.
A 5.2 GHz All-core Turbo Speed?
First up, according to hardware info leaker HXL, is a short video showing what is claimed to be the 8-core/16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D being tested in CineBench R23. It’s not known why various individuals are making claims for AMD’s Ryzen 9000X3D unreleased processors using the older benchmarking tool and it is not the best representation of gaming performance. In any case here is yet another, but this time around reportedly showing the CPU’s different clock speeds. According to the video below the base clock speed is 4.7 GHz but ramps up to an all-core turbo speed of 5.2 GHz during the render test. Now one thing to consider is that even if any, or all, of these recent benchmark metrics are accurate the processors tested may or may not be finalized versions and could end up with different specifications once launched.

A possible November launch?
Now as the 9800X3D has yet to be officially announced, let alone given a release date, the next bit of info is as equally tantalizing since, if true, it could mean we won’t have long to wait until these AM5 processors hit the shelves. Users on Chiphell have reported on a now-deleted post on Bilibili from a supposed AMD employee that the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D could launch as early as the first week of November (1-5). However, HXL claims their source(s) have said it will launch instead on November 7. Once again, in either case, those awaiting the unreleased processor could possibly be able to a hold of one within a month or two.

Same here. This might be my 2025 black friday purchase if I can afford the AM5 upgrade(s).
This means that that 9950X3D will probably go even higher - following the pattern set by the 7950X3D - and that might be worth delidding.
Agreed plus fact in that the 9950X3D and 9900X3D (not 9800X3D) are both said to allow both chiplets access to the V-Cache and they each could be epyc (pun intended). However, I'm a bit more concerned about prices for those more than the 9800X3D but all three could be up there.
if the 9950X3D is basically just 2 9800X3Ds merged together, that would be a lot of cache available, as long as each process stays pinned to it's own chiplet.
At this point I'm ready (and impatient) to get the actual details.

I think we all are. It's been years since I've been this excited about a CPU launch from anyone, even though I have zero intent on buying one at launch.
Man I hope so much that the 9950X3D has 3D cache on both CCX's. That would be one heck of a CPU for my use.
Just dropping this here because I don't want to flood our news page with what is more of the same but it is the first official benchmark to be seen for the 9000X3D series and basically confirms a lot of the rumors. I'd expect something official from AMD very soon given how much is getting leaked now.

This is pretty much what we expect; incremental gains based on increased frequency headroom due to thermal / voltage tweaks AMD did for Zen 5 vs. Zen 4 which was (slightly, in reality) more thermally and with 3D V-Cache voltage limited.
The main reason to consider a 9800X3D over a 7800X3D would be for a new build to get the 'newer' part, on a build focused on gaming. If compute / intense productivity are on order* (and can't be better done on a Mac Mini / Macbook...)**, how well AMD gets the dual-X3D CCD parts optimized is the real exciting part.
(*cue my realization when building a buddy's 7800X3D system, which did but shouldn't have surprised me, that it was actually slower than my aging 12700K in raw compute...)
(**most visual editing, i.e. photos and video, are effortless on Arm Macs due to the integrated hardware acceleration with OS and apps - one could keep a Mac Mini in a dual setup just for this if they're not otherwise a Macbook user and consider themselves a 'power user' when it comes to these domains)
I really want the 9950X3D to have cache on both CCDs, and be able to clock competitively with the 9950X. As much as I love the 7800X3D and probably upcoming 9800X3D for gaming, I do a lot more than just gaming, as most people use their computer for much more than that in their daily life. I really want the performance of 16-cores/32-threads in daily use, and also the benefit of being able to achieve the best gaming performance with a high-end GPU. 8-core/16-thread just isn't enough today.
for anything I do for work, my machine is basically just a simple terminal. For example, I had to generate 20 TB of data for a test, so I provisioned a 64 core machine, SSH’d to it, and then generated and loaded the data. I could have done that with my old 2700k. If it weren’t for Boinc and Gaming, I could probably do everything I need on an 8GB raspberry pi.
