AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

This chip is the gaming gladiator you didn’t know you needed. Armed with AMD’s second-gen 3D V-Cache, it glues high-performance stackable cache right under the cores—your games get fed faster, smoother, and harder. Built on the sleek Zen 5 (Granite Ridge) architecture, it zips through 8 cores and 16 threads, pacing workloads with base clocks around 4.7 GHz and peaking near 5.2 GHz when the heat is on.

Whether you’re fragging in the latest AAA titles or juggling rendering and streaming, this processor balances speed, cache heft, and efficiency with finesse. Built for AM5 motherboards, tuned for DDR5 power, and packing integrated Radeon graphics for troubleshooting or placeholders, it’s both a gamer’s dream and a creator’s ally.
