With a base clock of 4.7GHz, the 9800X3D is set to be significantly faster than the current fastest gaming CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

Intel even says AMD's 7800X3D will be slightly faster in gaming than its own just-announced Core Ultra 200 series.

While not yet released, a benchmark leak suggests the upcoming Ryzen 7 9800X3D will have a big clock speed advantage over its non-X3D counterpart.

Leaked Cinebench R23 results suggest the new eight-core Zen 5 processor with 3D V-cache has a much higher clock speed than the 7800X3D.

We see that AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a base clock of 4.7GHz and hits an all-core boost speed of 5.2GHz. Again, we should underline that we can’t be sure if this is a genuine leak or not.

Leaked benchmark for Cinebench shows big single-core, and even bigger multi-core, gains for the Ryzen 9800X3D and also the 9950X3D processor.

Somebody goofed — and now AMD’s unannounced Ryzen 9000X3D desktop processors have been partially revealed. But like Intel’s new Arrow Lake desktop CPUs, it doesn’t look like they’ll be a huge performance improvement on their predecessors.
