US EditionAMD's Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU Will Arrive on January 29 and Cost $499
The Ryzen 7 9850X3D offers 3-8% improved 1080p gaming FPS with a 5.6GHz boost clock, positioned between AMD's 9800X3D and 9950X3D CPUs for $499.
- On January 29, AMD will release the Ryzen 7 9850X3D for $499, following its CES debut earlier this month.
- By raising boost clocks by 400MHz while keeping the same 120W TDP, AMD created the 9850X3D as a specially binned, higher-clocked variant of the 9800X3D using 3D V-Cache.
- It supports up to 5.6GHz boost and features eight cores, 16 threads, and 104MB combined cache, with AMD claiming a 3-8% FPS advantage at 1080p.
- Retail buyers should note availability concerns as retail availability later this month may be limited, though esports gamers and top-tier builders benefit and AM5 socket users can upgrade with a BIOS update.
- Positioned between existing SKUs, the 9850X3D sits below the 16-core 9950X3D, and AMD must decide if it replaces the 9800X3D or sells in limited quantities, David McAfee said.
