Ryzen 7 9850X3D Launch Details
AMD has officially announced the pricing and availability for its latest X3D processor. The Ryzen 7 9850X3D is scheduled for release on January 29, with a retail price of $499 USD.
Key features of the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D include:
- This new processor builds upon its predecessor, the 9800X3D, by offering a 400MHz increase in its boost clock, enhancing its position as a leading gaming CPU.
- The Ryzen 7 9850X3D delivers an average gaming performance improvement of up to 27% when compared to the Intel Core Ultra 9 285k.
- Thanks to the second generation of 3D V-Cache technology, the processor does not require high-frequency memory. Testing across more than 30 games showed less than a 1% difference in FPS between DDR5-4800 and DDR5-6000 memory.
The point regarding memory frequency is particularly noteworthy. AMD highlights that faster RAM has minimal impact on gaming performance. The 3D V-Cache technology further reduces the effect of slower DDR5, suggesting that significant investment in high-speed memory may not be necessary for users of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D.
