AMD Ryzen 9800X3D leak shows it running at 5.6GHz on all cores – could this be the CPU to finish off Intel in PC gaming?
- The Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been benchmarked running at speeds of 5.6GHz across all eight cores according to leaked performance benchmarks spotted by WCCFTech.
- The overclocking was done via Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) and Curve Optimizer, plus more manual fine-tuning of the CPU.
- This boost is notably higher than the rumoured all-core boost of 5.2GHz, with the relative 10 to 15% increase in gaming performance on the 7800X3D to be taken with a grain of scepticism.
- In the leak, the Ryzen 9800X3D achieved a score of 2,261 in single-core and 25,258 in multi-core, indicating it could be a healthy 30% faster for non-gaming performance.
- The 9800X3D will be launched on 7 November, with the hope it will remedy some of the ill-feeling towards the Ryzen 9000 launch.
- It is unclear whether the unit was tested under normal cooling conditions, but depending on the increase in clock speed delivered when PBO and Curve Optimizer are used, an increase in around 10-15% in gaming performance seems feasible.
- It is also worth noting that the 7800X3D has been discontinued and retail listings have therefore dropped to zero, so much is riding on the release of the 9800X3D.
- Until the actual release, benchmarks will likely continue to be scrutinised, with the cooling setup among the many unknown factors.
- In addition, it remains to be seen whether AMD charges less than the expected $449 price tag for the 9800X3D in the US.
- As with all leaked benchmark results, skepticism is urged but if the 5.6GHz clock speed is anything like real, it would give the Ryzen 7 9800X3D a searing advantage over the competition.
