AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D specs leak hints at improved performance ahead of launch

AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor is set to launch on November 7th, with leaked specifications indicating improved performance compared to its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The new model features higher base and boost frequencies, enhancing both gaming and multi-threaded tasks. Retailers have listed the Ryzen 7 9800X3D's price between $450 and $500 in the U.S., with European prices around €550. This pricing is similar to the previous model, suggesting a competitive market position. Notably, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will support overclocking, a first for AMD's 3D V-Cache processors. This could allow users to achieve even greater performance, potentially improving AMD's standing against Intel's recent offerings.
