The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU has integrated AMD Radeon graphics, utilising two graphics cores and 2200MHz frequency. This provides best-in-class integrated graphics performance, enabling you to play an exciting range of gaming titles without a dedicated GPU.
To operate an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, a motherboard equipped with an AM5 1718 LGA socket is essential. The compatible chipset is:
Please note that more chipsets will be made available as more models in the AMD Ryzen 9000 Series release.
To optimise compatibility, AMD Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs can be equipped with either an AM4 AIO or air CPU cooler or AM5 AIO or air CPU cooler. No cooler is included within the scope of delivery.
The AMD Rzyen 7 9800X3D CPU is great for mainstream gaming and content creation. The eight cores and sixteen threads are equipped with SMT technology to effortlessly handle complex processes. What’s more, the Zen 5 architecture, 3D V-Cache, and AI-acceleration is will optimise your performance.
AMD 3D V-Cache is an innovative 3D stacked cache system, that allows for greater capacities and simultaneous access to information.
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads.
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU is compatible with the AMD AM5 socket. This AMD socket uses a land grid array (LGA) rather than a pin grid array (PGA), so there is no cross compatibility with AMD AM4 sockets. However, the outer socket shape has been designed so that your AM4 coolers will remain compatible.
The AMD Ryzen 9000 Series supports DDR5 RAM, including the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This can be overclocked with the easy-to-use AMD EXPO software, provided your chosen RAM modules support this feature.

Fantastic and delivered much faster than appreciated!
Overlockers Uk delivering the goods on time. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is something else! It is the undisputed king of gaming, and it does so while sipping power, and remaining cool. It doesn't get any better than this!
I upgraded from a 3700x as I was getting some choppy low minimum frames at times, also CPU heavy titles were chugging every now and then. THis has made everything much smoother all around even at 4k. Most reviewers will say at 4k this CPU makes no difference, not true... in games like factorio, cities skylines, civ 6 etc you can feel the difference massively. When playing games I haven't yet gone above 63c using an air cooler. fast and cool (unlike me)
