Listings for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs have appeared on two U.S. retail websites ahead of their anticipated launch later this month. The prices range from $484 to $525, indicating a competitive pricing strategy compared to the previous generation Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which starts at around $429. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to deliver significant performance improvements, particularly in gaming, thanks to its 3D V-Cache architecture. Early synthetic benchmarks suggest that the new CPU will outperform its predecessor, with scores of 2,145 in Single-Core and 23,315 in Multi-Core tests. However, definitive real-world performance metrics are still pending, and consumers are advised to wait for comprehensive benchmarks before making purchasing decisions. The Ryzen 9000 X3D Series is expected to be available in November, coinciding with the holiday shopping season, which may attract gaming PC builders looking for high-performance components.

> we do have some baseline expectations courtesy of synthetic Geekbench results found earlier this month. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D scored just 1,812 and 18,003 points on the Single-Core and Multi-Core benchmarks, respectively — while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D managed 2,145 and 23,315, respectively.

That's a pretty respectable bump if the numbers hold. As always take synthetic benchmark results with a grain of salt, especially ones from some guy on the Internet with pre-release hardware.

Hopefully it's decent. This generation has been terrible for AMD and Intel. Both have been basically identical in performance to the previous gen.

If that's true from 7800X3D -> 9800X3D too it'll suck.

Getting a 7800x3d for $300 in January was a great decision in hindsight

That is pretty much what the 7800x3d launched for, no?
