AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D “100-1000001084” is the first Zen 5-based CPU with 3D V-Cache technology. The CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads, similar to the previous generation Ryzen 7 offerings with a 3D V-Cache. The CPU has a base clock of 4.7 GHz and a boost clock of 5.2 GHz, which is a solid increase of +500/+200 MHz respectively over the 7800X3D.

The CPU comes loaded with 32 MB of L3 cache on the single CCD and a 64 MB 3D V-Cache stack, which lies below the CCD. This is part of the second generation 3D V-Cache design that now matches the size of the CCD, removing the need for structural silicon. This allows the CCD to have direct cooling access to the 3D V-Cache stack, which is less thermally constrained. Another novelty on the 2nd Gen 3D V-Cache CPUs is full support for overclocking while supporting the same 120W TDP.

The best thing about the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, besides its gaming performance and efficiency, is the fact that AM5 users can easily do a drop-in upgrade without having to replace the motherboard or memory. Users who invested in the AM5 platform two years ago can make an easy upgrade without worrying about compatibility issues. You can also check out our review of the chip here.
