The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the first in what will presumably be a handful of new desktop processors from AMD that pair Zen 5 cores with 3D V-Cache technology for improved gaming performance, will cost $484 when it releases on November 7, according to an early retail listing for the CPU that has surfaced online. The supposed pricing, which comes by way of Tech-America, suggests that the 9800X3D will cost $35 more than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which AMD launched in April 2023 for $449. A video that AMD’s Jack Huynh shared today confirming the release date of the chip, as well as some of its key specifications (e.g., 4.7 GHz base clock) per MAXSUN, can be found below.

Since I play at 4K I really don't think I'd see that 11% increase over my 7800X3D.
Coming from a 7800X3D @4K I totally agree but I have a feeling I'll notice it a bit more of a difference coming from my 5800X3D but my plan is to wait until next fall to snag this or a 9900X3D/9950X3D, depending on the pricepoints, and performance reviews.
