The packaging for the brand new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has simply been leaked, and if it’s real, it reveals that each AMD and Intel are donning their goth outfits for the subsequent era of gaming CPU launches. The brand new 9800X3D is anticipated to be launched imminently, and can choose up from the place the acclaimed Ryzen 7 7800X3D left off, probably with a better clock velocity.
The latter is at the moment the best gaming CPU you should buy, because of its use of AMD 3D V-cache, which we’ve discovered can considerably enhance body charges in video games. Nonetheless, with reported Ryzen 7 7800X3D stock shortages, a substitute is already sorely wanted.
This newest rumor comes from tech YouTuber Moore’s Legislation is Useless, who claims to have been leaked the packaging and advertising and marketing supplies for the brand new CPU. Whereas Moore’s Legislation is Useless isn’t at all times essentially the most correct supply of tech leaks, the advertising and marketing proven within the video under is certainly in AMD’s common fashion for textual content and imagery, and the field artwork seems to be proper too.
If that is real, it reveals AMD adopting an identical technique with the Intel Arrow Lake box artwork, with black taking part in a outstanding half within the coloration scheme, as with the packing containers for its different Zen 5 CPUs. The final Ryzen 7000 X3D chips all got here in grey and orange packing containers, however this new field seems to be swapping that for black, orange, and silver. Black is, erm, the brand new black, you might say.
Moore’s Legislation is Useless additionally makes a number of different claims concerning the advertising and marketing supplies for the brand new CPU. One is that there are repeated references to it having 104MB of cache. That’s not shocking, although, for those who add up the L2 cache (8 x 1MB), L3 cache (32MB), and 3D V-cache (64MB), you additionally come to similar the whole 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 Useless says there are additionally references to it being “designed for elevated frequencies.” May this imply that the 9800X3D has a quick clock velocity, in contrast to 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 may make it considerably faster than the 7800X3D, notably in video games.
Nonetheless, keep in mind that none of this has been formally confirmed by AMD, and that Moore’s Legislation is Useless doesn’t have the very best repute for accuracy, notably after the YouTuber revealed a purported AMD Zen 5 slide, which later turned out to be a fake made by X (previously Twitter) consumer Bionic Squash.
Whilst you’re ready for AMD’s subsequent eight-core X3D gaming CPU to be launched, you can too learn up on the information concerning the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X3D, a six-core gaming CPU that’s rumored to be launching quickly.
