If any of the rumors for AMD's next gaming processor featuring 3D V-cache technology are true, then the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D could end up being one of the most sought-after CPUs in 2024/2025. This latest pair of tidbits point to a potential release before the holidays and a turbo clock rate which could see it besting many of the most powerful gaming CPUs.

This means that that 9950X3D will probably go even higher - following the pattern set by the 7950X3D - and that might be worth delidding.
 
Agreed plus fact in that the 9950X3D and 9900X3D (not 9800X3D) are both said to allow both chiplets access to the V-Cache and they each could be epyc (pun intended). However, I'm a bit more concerned about prices for those more than the 9800X3D but all three could be up there.
 
if the 9950X3D is basically just 2 9800X3Ds merged together, that would be a lot of cache available, as long as each process stays pinned to it's own chiplet.

At this point I'm ready (and impatient) to get the actual details.

I think we all are. It's been years since I've been this excited about a CPU launch from anyone, even though I have zero intent on buying one at launch.

Just dropping this here because I don't want to flood our news page with what is more of the same but it is the first official benchmark to be seen for the 9000X3D series and basically confirms a lot of the rumors. I'd expect something official from AMD very soon given how much is getting leaked now.

This is pretty much what we expect; incremental gains based on increased frequency headroom due to thermal / voltage tweaks AMD did for Zen 5 vs. Zen 4 which was (slightly, in reality) more thermally and with 3D V-Cache voltage limited.

The main reason to consider a 9800X3D over a 7800X3D would be for a new build to get the 'newer' part, on a build focused on gaming. If compute / intense productivity are on order* (and can't be better done on a Mac Mini / Macbook...)**, how well AMD gets the dual-X3D CCD parts optimized is the real exciting part.

(*cue my realization when building a buddy's 7800X3D system, which did but shouldn't have surprised me, that it was actually slower than my aging 12700K in raw compute...)

(**most visual editing, i.e. photos and video, are effortless on Arm Macs due to the integrated hardware acceleration with OS and apps - one could keep a Mac Mini in a dual setup just for this if they're not otherwise a Macbook user and consider themselves a 'power user' when it comes to these domains)
 
I really want the 9950X3D to have cache on both CCDs, and be able to clock competitively with the 9950X. As much as I love the 7800X3D and probably upcoming 9800X3D for gaming, I do a lot more than just gaming, as most people use their computer for much more than that in their daily life. I really want the performance of 16-cores/32-threads in daily use, and also the benefit of being able to achieve the best gaming performance with a high-end GPU. 8-core/16-thread just isn't enough today.
 
for anything I do for work, my machine is basically just a simple terminal. For example, I had to generate 20 TB of data for a test, so I provisioned a 64 core machine, SSH’d to it, and then generated and loaded the data. I could have done that with my old 2700k. If it weren’t for Boinc and Gaming, I could probably do everything I need on an 8GB raspberry pi.
