AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 9800X3D will reportedly cost $30 more than the last generation, based on a tip by Hoang Anh Phu on X. This puts the Ryzen 7 9800X3D's MSRP at $479, or 6% higher than the 7800X3D — a marginal difference at best.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, set to be AMD's go-to option for gaming, is an eight-core chip packed with 104MB of total cache. Rumor has it that AMD has redesigned the structural layout of its new Ryzen 9000X3D processors - stacking the CCDs atop the cache tile. If we go by rumored specifications, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will ship with eight Zen 5 cores and sixteen threads; clocking in at base and boost frequencies of 4.7 GHz and 5.2 GHz respectively. Memory-wise, the UMC allows for DDR5-5600 (1 DPC) at JEDEC speeds, but we could see these CPUs hit DDR5-6000+ with ease.
