AMD has been teasing the Ryzen 9000X3D Zen 5 CPUs with 3D V-Cache and today they formally announced the specs of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor that will begin shipping 7 November.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is AMD’s 8-core / 16-thread processor with 64MB of 3D V-Cache. This uses 2nd Gen AMD 3D V-Cache where the 64MB of cache is now underneath the processor cores so that the CCD is positioned closer to the heatsink/cooler. The intent is that the new 3D V-Cache processors will run cooler than prior generation 3D V-Cache processors.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D will boost up to 5.2GHz and feature a 4.7GHz while total it provides 104MB of cache. This 120 Watt processor will have a suggested retail price of $479 USD. Again, expect retail availability on 7 November.

    To be fair I think I’m just salty since I used to be that guy and can no longer afford to do it lol.

      If it makes you feel any better, I can afford to, and still don’t. There’s really no point anymore. You can spend half that and still get a processor that’ll do literally everything you want it to do with overhead to spare. Benchmarks are well past the point of actual use now.
