AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D | Zen 5 3D V-Cache™ Desktop Gaming Processor

Engineered on cutting-edge 4nm Zen 5 architecture, the AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D introduces revolutionary 2nd-Generation AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology. By placing the 64MB cache die underneath the compute cores, the CPU cores achieve direct thermal contact with the integrated heat spreader (IHS), unlocking unprecedented thermal efficiency, full multiplier overclocking, and industry-dominating esports frame rate stability.

2nd-Gen 3D V-Cache™ Inverted Die Architecture

2nd-Gen 3D V-Cache™ Inverted Die Architecture

Unlike previous generations, the 64MB SRAM 3D V-Cache is positioned directly beneath the 8-core CCD. This puts the compute cores closer to your cooling solution for significantly lower thermal resistance, enabling higher sustained all-core boost clocks and full manual multiplier overclocking.

Socket AM5 Contact Grid & Platform Longevity

Socket AM5 Contact Grid & Platform Longevity

Engineered on the 1718-pin LGA Socket AM5 platform, delivering high-density power delivery, native PCIe 5.0 signal integrity, and long-term upgradeability across X870E, X870, B650E, and B650 motherboards.

Zen 5 IPC Uplift & Precision Boost Overdrive

Zen 5 IPC Uplift & Precision Boost Overdrive

Delivering up to 16% instruction-per-clock (IPC) gains over Zen 4, the 9800X3D pairs seamlessly with AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) and Curve Optimizer to automatically maximize single-core and all-core performance.

Hardware Q&A & AHW Store Policies

Technical configurations, cooler recommendations, warranty, installments, and shipping

What makes 2nd-Generation 3D V-Cache on the Ryzen 7 9800X3D better than the 7800X3D?
In the 9800X3D, AMD inverted the physical silicon stack: the 64MB 3D V-Cache SRAM die is now placed underneath the 8-core CCD compute die rather than on top. This allows the hot CPU cores to touch the integrated heat spreader (IHS) directly, resulting in lower thermal resistance, up to 500 MHz higher boost clocks (5.2 GHz vs 5.0 GHz on the Ryzen 7 7800X3D), and full multiplier overclocking.
What cooling solution is recommended for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D?
While the 9800X3D has a default TDP of 120W, a quality 240mm or 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler from our CPU Cooler Collection is strongly recommended to maintain peak 5.2 GHz boost clocks under heavy gaming workloads.
What is the RAM sweet spot for Ryzen 7 9800X3D?
The performance sweet spot for AM5 Zen 5 architecture is a dual-channel 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 MHz kit with CL30 timings and AMD EXPO support from our RAM Memory Collection.
Will the Ryzen 7 9800X3D work on existing B650 and X670 motherboards?
Yes! The 9800X3D is fully compatible with Socket AM5 motherboards in our Motherboards Collection, including B650, B650E, X670, X670E, B850, and X870/X870E after a simple BIOS update.
Does the Ryzen 7 9800X3D have integrated graphics for troubleshooting?
Yes, the processor includes integrated AMD Radeon™ Graphics (2 Compute Units @ 2200 MHz) with AV1 decode and 4K display output, allowing system setup and display diagnostics without requiring a discrete graphics card.
