AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 100-100001084WOF desktop processor

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D desktop processor

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread desktop processor built on the Zen 5 architecture. It operates at a 4.7 GHz base frequency and reaches a 5.2 GHz max boost frequency. The chip includes 96MB of L3 cache using second-generation 3D V-Cache technology and features integrated AMD Radeon graphics. It fits the Socket AM5 platform with a 120W TDP.

Best for gaming builds needing high cache

This processor suits enthusiasts building a high-performance gaming system on the AM5 platform who can supply their own cooling solution. The large L3 cache targets low-latency gaming performance at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. Builders who need a bundled cooler, prefer lower power draw, or require more than eight cores for heavy multi-threaded workloads should consider other models.

96MB L3 cache with 3D V-Cache technology

The defining specification is the 96MB L3 cache implemented with second-generation AMD 3D V-Cache technology. This cache structure reduces memory latency for gaming workloads. The processor supports DDR5 memory up to 8800 MT/s across two channels with a maximum capacity of 192GB. It provides 28 total PCIe 5.0 lanes with 24 usable lanes for graphics and storage.
