AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz Eight-Core AM5 Processor

The AMD 100-100001084WOF is a Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor that brings eight cores and sixteen threads to the AM5 platform. With a base clock of 4.7 GHz and a boost ceiling of 5.2 GHz, it supplies the quick single-thread response that modern games rely on while still keeping plenty of headroom for multitasking and background applications.

A key advantage comes from its 96 MB of 3D V-Cache. By stacking this cache close to the cores, AMD reduces memory latency and helps maintain higher frame rates in demanding titles. Competitive players will notice smoother performance during fast action, and open-world gamers will see shorter load times when moving between expansive areas.

The chip supports up to 192 GB of DDR5 memory, allowing builders to pair it with high-frequency modules for content creation, streaming, or heavy multitasking workloads. PCIe 5.0 lanes are available for next-generation graphics cards and storage, so a system based on this processor can take full advantage of the fastest NVMe drives and GPUs as they become available.

Integrated Radeon graphics provide a basic video output that is handy when troubleshooting a new build or waiting on a dedicated card. Enthusiasts who enjoy fine-tuning performance can take advantage of the unlocked multiplier, though the 120 W thermal design power means a quality aftermarket cooler is recommended, as no cooler ships in the box.
