The packaging for the brand new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has simply been leaked, and if it’s real, it exhibits that each AMD and Intel are donning their goth outfits for the subsequent technology of gaming CPU launches. The brand new 9800X3D is predicted to be launched imminently, and can decide up from the place the acclaimed Ryzen 7 7800X3D left off, probably with the next clock velocity.
The latter is at present the perfect gaming CPU you should buy, due to its use of AMD 3D V-cache, which we’ve discovered can considerably enhance body charges in video games. Nevertheless, with reported Ryzen 7 7800X3D inventory shortages, a substitute is already sorely wanted.
This newest rumor comes from tech YouTuber Moore’s Legislation is Lifeless, who claims to have been leaked the packaging and advertising supplies for the brand new CPU. Whereas Moore’s Legislation is Lifeless isn’t at all times probably the most correct supply of tech leaks, the advertising proven within the video beneath is certainly in AMD’s typical type for textual content and imagery, and the field artwork seems proper too.
If that is real, it exhibits AMD adopting an identical technique with the Intel Arrow Lake field artwork, with black taking part in a distinguished half within the colour scheme, as with the bins for its different Zen 5 CPUs. The final Ryzen 7000 X3D chips all got here in grey and orange bins, however this new field seems to be swapping that for black, orange, and silver. Black is, erm, the brand new black, you may say.
Moore’s Legislation is Lifeless additionally makes a number of different claims concerning the advertising supplies for the brand new CPU. One is that there are repeated references to it having 104MB of cache. That’s not shocking, although, when you add up the L2 cache (8 x 1MB), L3 cache (32MB), and 3D V-cache (64MB), you additionally come to similar the overall of 104MB on the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
The leaked picture additionally describes the 9800X3D because the “final processor for elite gaming,” and Moore’s Legislation is Lifeless says there are additionally references to it being “designed for elevated frequencies.” Might this imply that the 9800X3D has a quick clock velocity, not like the 7800X3D, which solely boosts to 5GHz?
I hope so. The low clock velocity is the one draw back of the 7800X3D, and it’s at all times appeared odd that this well-optimized gaming CPU, which doesn’t have the inter-core cache latency problems with the Ryzen 9 7900X3D and 7950X3D, solely had a comparably weak clock velocity. Upping the frequency to a 5.7GHz enhance clock might make it considerably faster than the 7800X3D, significantly in video games.
Nevertheless, keep in mind that none of this has been formally confirmed by AMD, and that Moore’s Legislation is Lifeless doesn’t have the perfect fame for accuracy, significantly after the YouTuber revealed a purported AMD Zen 5 slide, which later turned out to be a faux made by X (previously Twitter) person Bionic Squash.
Whilst you’re ready for AMD’s subsequent eight-core X3D gaming CPU to be launched, you too can learn up on the information concerning the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X3D, a six-core gaming CPU that’s rumored to be launching quickly.
