At CES 2023, AMD announced the three new Ryzen X3D processors: Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Featuring the second-generation V-Cache technology, the chipmaker promises a performance boost of up to 30% over the preceding lineup. The cache size is the same as last-gen, but the boost clocks have been raised to 5.7GHz. A total of three SKUs are planned, namely the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and the 7950X3D (based on the 7700X, 7900X, and 7950X).
Model | Cores/Threads | Boost / Base Frequency | Total Cache | TDP |
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D | 16C/32T | Up to 5.7 GHz / 4.2 GHz | 144MB | 120W |
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 12C/24T | Up to 5.6 GHz / 4.4 GHz | 140MB | 120W |
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 8C/16T | Up to 5.0 GHz / TBD | 104MB | 120W |
All three X3D chips come with a base TDP of 120W with locked multipliers, limiting overclocking. Official decks claim a gaming performance boost of 20-30% over the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, with Dota 2 delivering a 30% gain at 1080p “High Quality” settings. (aricampanimalhospital.com)
AMD also introduced non-X parts, including the Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600. Built on the same dies as their X counterparts, they drop the TDP to 65W and come with a bundled Wraith cooler. Precision Boost Overdrive promises to boost clocks and performance by up to 39% in water-cooled scenarios. The processors announced today are expected to be available starting January 10.
Model | Cores/Threads | Boost/Base Frequency | Total Cache | TDP | Cooler | SEP (USD) |
AMD Ryzen 9 7900 | 12C/24T | Up to 5.4 GHz / 3.7 GHz | 76MB | 65W | Wraith Prism | $429 |
AMD Ryzen 7 7700 | 8C/16T | Up to 5.3 GHz / 3.8 GHz | 40MB | 65W | Wraith Prism | $329 |
AMD Ryzen 5 7600 | 6C/12T | Up to 5.1 GHz / 3.8 GHz | 38MB | 65W | Wraith Stealth | $229 |
