Description:
AMDs Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor is slated for release on November 7, but its full specifications have just been leaked - promising advancements in overclocking and 3D V-Cache.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The specifications for AMDs upcoming Ryzen 7 9800X3D have leaked ahead of its scheduled release on November 7 - and its good news for gamers.

The leak remains consistent with the previous marketing description leak regarding a performance boost over its predecessor, the 7800X3D . As spotted by VideoCardz , the leak originates from Geizhals, a price comparison tool used by retailers in Europe. While the veracity of the information cant be fully determined at this point, its likely to be accurate; leaks that stem from retailers tend to be more reliable than anonymous claims made on social media, after all.

AMDs upcoming CPU will reportedly utilize eight Zen 5 cores with a 4.70GHz base clock speed, which can be boosted up to 5.20GHz - a 0.20GHz jump over
the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D , and with the CPU multiplier unlocked, users will be able to manually overclock this new processor. This wasnt possible with previous AMD CPUs that utilized 3D V-Cache, which could be a significant boon for overclocking enthusiasts.

The leaked specifications reference 96MB of 3D V-Cache, identical to the 7800X3D (which is among AMDs best processors ), but the aforementioned marketing leak suggested that the 9800X3D may have an 8% performance boost over AMD's current high-end gaming CPU. This is reportedly powered by
Next-Gen 3D V-Cache, but the Geizhals leak doesnt appear to add any more information. What does this mean for gamers?

AMDs 3D V-Cache is a nifty tool for PC gamers, since it effectively triples the amount of available cache memory on the processor - something virtually every game can easily take advantage of, but it's especially valuable in CPU-bound titles.

Content creators in particular could benefit from the rumored Next-Gen 3D V-Cache, as it should boost performance when running multiple applications simultaneously - for example, having OBS or Twitch open in the background while playing a game.

Of course, its important that we wait for AMDs official reveal, to find out
if the leaks suggested improvement in gaming performance is indeed the case - and if so, it could go a long way in improving gaming experiences for many on PC, considering the recent slate of CPU-bound titles such as Dragons Dogma 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor .
