A review for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D was accidentally (or purposely) uploaded to YouTube ahead of AMD’s embargo date, providing some early insight into how the first “Zen 5” desktop CPU to feature 3D V-Cache should compare to the 9700X in several of today’s most popular games. According to those who caught the review before it was taken down and several screenshots that have been presented online, the 9800X3D is faster on average by 3.2%, with the improvements in the 1% lows and 0.1% lows being 14% and 24.1%, respectively. See below for the games (and software) that were tested and how the 9800X3D fared in each versus one of its Zen 4 siblings.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the ultimate solution for the PC gaming market, with eight high-performance “Zen 5” processor cores and 16 processing threads ready to make quick work of gaming and productivity tasks. 4.7 GHz base clock speed is combined with a 5.2 GHz max boost clock, and these represent the highest clock speeds ever on an X3D chiplet. A hearty 120W TDP and its huge 104MB of total cache provides the processor with the power it needs to perform.
