The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a desktop processor with 8 cores, released in 2024 at an MSRP of $479. It is part of the Ryzen 7 lineup, using the Ryzen 9000 platform, and fits the AM5 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Zen 5" architecture. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 16 threads for improved parallelism. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a base clock of 4.7 GHz and can boost up to 5.2 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. AMD manufactures the "Zen 5" silicon on a TSMC 4nm process node. The multiplier is unlocked, making overclocking straightforward. This processor supports DDR5 memory. ECC memory is supported, provided the motherboard enables it. With a TDP of 120W, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. Integrated graphics are provided by the Radeon Graphics solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy consists of 512KB of L1, 8MB of L2, and 96MB of L3 cache — an unusually large L3 that greatly benefits latency-sensitive workloads like gaming.
3D V-Cache — 32MB standard L3 + 64MB stacked V-Cache. Widely considered the best gaming CPU at launch.
