Get ready for an exciting addition to the world of gaming processors with the imminent launch of AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU. This powerhouse of a processor has already started making waves, being spotted on various European retail websites ahead of its official release.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is widely anticipated as the first offering in AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D series. Although the official release is still over a week away, tech enthusiasts are already buzzing about early listings and eyeing the high-profile launch.
A brief appearance of the processor was noted on the French website PC21, revealing an eye-catching price of €556.27, which drops to €463.56 without VAT. It’s typical for electronics in Europe to be priced approximately 20% higher due to VAT, and this early listing indeed reflects such a premium.
In Lithuania, the processor also made a temporary appearance on another retail site for €557.31 (including VAT). When these taxes are stripped away, the estimated cost is around €460, hinting at an MSRP close to US$602.
Previously, whispers suggested a sub-$500 price tag for the 9800X3D, making these new listings appear steeper. However, considering AMD’s pricing history such as the $450 launch price for its Ryzen 7 7800X3D, experts speculate the 9800X3D will remain in the $450-$500 range outside of Europe.
Built on the innovative Zen 5 architecture, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D flaunts 8 cores and 16 threads, boasting clock speeds of 4.7/5.2GHz. Recent leaks have shed light on the impressive performance metrics of this X3D CPU, promising a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the 7800X3D, especially for gaming enthusiasts.
With Intel’s latest offering, the Core Ultra 200S, failing to impress the gaming community, AMD is poised to capture the hearts and minds of dedicated gamers. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to officially launch on November 7th, with reviews anticipated to appear a day prior, sparking even more excitement in the tech world.
Keep an eye out as this thrilling new processor is set to redefine gaming experiences, offering powerhouse performance tailored for the most demanding of gaming afficionados.
