AMD reveals Ryzen 9800X3D CPU priced at $479 – runs at a speedy 5.2GHz boost, can be overclocked, and promises much smoother gameplay

AMD has officially announced its Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, with 8 cores and a 4.7GHz base clock speed with a 5.2GHz max boost frequency priced at $479.
The Ryzen 9800X3D is an unlocked chip, which can be overclocked and has a TDP of 120W and a total of 104MB cache.
The chip features ‘2nd-gen’ 3D V-Cache, with the cache underneath the CCD (the die containing the cores) this time.
AMD claims the Ryzen 9800X3D is 8% faster than the 7800X3D for gaming frame rates, as an average from testing across a large suite of some 40+ popular PC games.
The Ryzen 9800X3D is ‘up to an average’ of 20% faster than a system powered by Intel’s new flagship the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K.
As part of building a case for the strength of the Ryzen 9800X3D, AMD highlights the chip’s generational improvement in terms of minimum frame rates.
The Ryzen 9800X3D is set to go on sale come November 7.
Some users may be disappointed by an increase in MSRP gen-on-gen as the current price is $30 higher than the MSRP of 7800X3D.
Independent testing is required to validate the chip’s performance claims.
The chip features an improved cache design that keeps the cores cooler, allowing for higher clock speeds compared to last-gen X3D.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database is now generally available

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database is now generally available, which allows the distribution of a database workload over multiple Aurora writer instances while maintaining the ability to use it as a single database.
Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database uses a two-layer architecture consisting of multiple database nodes in a DB shard group – either routers or shards to scale based on the workload.
Routers are nodes that accept SQL connections from clients, send SQL commands to shards, maintain system-wide consistency, and return results to clients; shards store a subset of tables and full copies of data, which accept queries from routers.
Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database has three table types: sharded, reference, and standard. Sharded tables are useful for scaling the largest, most I/O-intensive tables in an application. Reference tables copy data in full on every shard so that join queries can work faster by eliminating unnecessary data movement.
To load data into Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database: create the DB shard group, sharded reference tables, and load data into it using the COPY command; for queries, connect to the cluster endpoint using psql or any other PostgreSQL-compatible connection utility.
Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database supports PostgreSQL syntax and utilizes two querying methods: single-shard queries and distributed queries. Compute capacity is limited to 16-6144 ACUs per DB shard group.
Storage is restricted to the Amazon Aurora I/O-Optimized DB cluster storage configuration, with each shard having a maximum capacity of 128 TiB, and reference tables limited to 32 TiB for the entire DB shard group.
You can use Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database, along with new statistics functions and views and wait events for Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database that can be used for monitoring and diagnostics.
Now available in regions including AWS US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon) and Europe (Ireland), explore this feature today in the Amazon RDS console
Give Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database a try and for more detail about this feature visit the Amazon Aurora User Guide, and send feedback to AWS through the usual support contacts.
