    I’m thrilled to share my experience with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. This processor has truly elevated my computing experience in several key areas. Installing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D was a straightforward process. Designed for the AM5 socket, it seamlessly fit into my existing motherboard without any issues. The processor’s architecture ensures compatibility with a wide range of AM5 motherboards, making the upgrade path smooth and hassle-free. One of the standout features of this processor is its improved thermal performance. AMD’s decision to invert the CCD+L3D stack in the 3D V-Cache design has enhanced heat dissipation, allowing for higher clock speeds up to 5.2 GHz. Despite its powerful performance, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D maintains efficient power consumption, making it a reliable choice for both gaming and multitasking. Choosing the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been a game-changer for me. Its top-tier gaming performance, ease of installation, and efficient thermal management have exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or someone seeking a robust processor for various tasks, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a stellar choice that delivers on all fronts.

    The fastest gaming CPU I have seen. Upgrade from the 7800X3d and saw on average about 10% increase over the 7800X3D. Also productivity gains, around 10-18%.

    I upgraded to the 9800x3d and it is well worth it for 1440p gaming if you play games like call of duty or Fortnite. Especially e sports titles as well, being able to overclock it is also amazing.

    One Month in and this CPU is working absolutely fantastic for me. The internal GPU helped out alot for troubleshooting when trying to setup the designated GPU and monitor. Currently in a MSI MAG X870E motherboard working with a Corsair DDR5 32GB (2x16) 6000MHz RAM, Samsung 9100 Pro 4TB (x2), and a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU.

    The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is simply outstanding for gaming. The 3D V-Cache makes a huge difference in competitive titles like CS2 and Warzone, delivering high and stable FPS. Beyond gaming, it also handles daily tasks and productivity very well, with efficient power usage and good temps when paired with a solid cooler. A perfect choice for anyone who wants longevity and top-tier gaming performance.

    The AMD 9700x3D is a absolutely blazing fast game eater, my new build I knew I wanted a RTX 5080 and needed a CPU with the power to match it’s performance, the duo is a monster at gaming and of course can handle everyday computing flawlessly, and more demanding tasks like software compilation / build and coding. Pair it with 32GB of 6400mhx DRR5 ram and it’s unstoppable.

    Ive been a intel gamer the whole time ive been building pc's i decided to go with amd this time and the x3d chips do not disappoint, high fps and seems to be stable when overclocking. This paired with a 5080 is a beast of a rig.

    BEST GAMING CPU MONEY CAN BUY

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the best gaming CPU I think money can buy. It handles editing, gaming, and anything I want to run with extreme ease, also easily tuned in the AMD app. This is the top of the line gaming CPU and it lives up to the hype. Also easy to install, a little scary to click in moving to AM5 from AM4, but works extremely well.

    Upgraded from the 7800X3D, which is very small gain in performance but a gain is a gain. Very happy with it and I'm happy to see AMD keeps being innovated.
