After the embargo on testing the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D was lifted, people who already had access to one of the new high-end gaming processors before the market launch today at 3 p.m. put to test Zen’s first X3D processor. 5 epoch to massively overclock or even tear down – in each case with considerable success.
At Asus with 6.9 GHZ in Valorant
One of these people is Tony Yu, general manager of the Asus ROG division. In a video on Chinese social media platform bilibili, Yu shows off the up to 6.9GHz CPU using overclocking and liquid nitrogen cooling in Valorant. The processor runs at a maximum of 5.2 GHz from the factory, but for the first time as an X3D processor it has a free multiplier. Well over 1000 FPS was possible with the CPU used in this manner.
In Cinebench R23, a maximum of 6,750 MHz was achieved, in the multi-core test the result was 30,513 points – at the factory, the editorial team’s processor scored 23,311 points.
Decapitated and the processor chiplet scraped
The Weibo account 万扯淡 was not about maximum clock speeds, but rather about the new X3D chipset. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the first X3D processor in which the additional 64 MB of L3 cache (3D V-Cache) is not located on the CPU chipset, but below.
What it looks like in reality and not in AMD’s marketing video can be seen in the video from China. The color contrast it captured is a surprise: while the processor chipset appears blue in its configuration, the cache component flickers yellow.
