AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D | Zen 5 with 2nd Gen 3D V-Cache for AM5 Gaming

AMD describes the Ryzen 7 9800X3D as built for faster gaming with 2nd gen AMD 3D V-Cache. It combines 8 Zen 5 cores and 16 threads — 4.7 GHz base, up to 5.2 GHz boost — with 96 MB of L3 at 120 W, and unlike earlier X3D chips it is unlocked for overclocking. It runs DDR5 up to 256 GB and PCIe 5.0 on Socket AM5. AMD includes no cooler and recommends liquid cooling.
