Processor AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D AM5 Box

AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D with 2nd-Gen 3D V-Cache on Zen 5

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D is a top-tier gaming processor for the AM5 socket, combining the latest Zen 5 architecture with 2nd-generation 3D V-Cache technology that brings a huge 96MB L3 cache. This combination places it among the fastest gaming CPUs available, with high clocks and an enlarged cache that significantly boosts frame rates. The version is supplied without a cooler.

Zen 5 & 2nd-gen 3D V-Cache

The processor packs eight cores and 16 threads at a 4.7GHz base and up to 5.6GHz boost - very high clocks for an X3D chip. The 2nd-generation 3D V-Cache technology places the extra cache layer below the cores, which improves heat transfer and enables higher clocks alongside a 96MB L3 cache.

The large cache significantly shortens data-access times in games and delivers a noticeable performance increase - especially in competitive titles and at resolutions where the CPU is the bottleneck.

AM5 platform & memory

The processor uses the AM5 socket and supports DDR5-5600 memory (up to 192GB) and PCIe 5.0 for next-generation graphics cards and NVMe drives. The AM5 platform is built to last and allows future upgrades.

A leading gaming CPU

The 9850X3D is aimed at gamers who want the highest possible performance and at flagship-grade gaming systems. The power draw is 120W, so pairing with a quality cooling solution is recommended. The CPU includes integrated graphics for initial setup and ships without a cooler - a strong cooler should be added separately.
