VAT, shipping to packing station possible Review: Excellent CPU, very happy with it - This is an absolutely great CPU and I’m very happy with it. For my PC build, it has been fast, stable and exactly what I wanted from a high-performance processor. Compatibility was straightforward for my setup, but of course you need to make sure you have the right AM5 motherboard and update the BIOS if needed. The installation itself is normal for a CPU, so not difficult if you are used to building PCs, but I would still take your time and follow the motherboard instructions carefully. In terms of stability, I have had no issues with it. The ease of use is basically simple once it is installed, as it just works as it should. The appearance is not something that matters much with a CPU, but the product and packaging look premium enough. It is not a cheap processor, but for the performance, I think the value for money is very good if you want a strong gaming or high-end desktop CPU. Overall, 5 stars from me and I highly recommend it. Review: Monster gaming CPU – fast, smooth and surprisingly efficient - I’m using the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D in a new AM5 build and it’s been excellent so far, especially for gaming. Paired with a high-end GPU, it just flies – frame times are smooth, 1% lows are noticeably better than my previous CPU, and heavy titles feel more consistent, not just “higher FPS on paper.” The big selling point is obviously the 3D V-Cache, and it really shows in CPU-heavy or open-world games. Load times and general responsiveness in Windows are also snappy, and it handles background tasks, recording and browsing while gaming without any drama. Thermals and power consumption are very reasonable for the performance. With a decent air or AIO cooler and a good case, temps stay under control and noise levels are easy to keep low. Setup on AM5 was straightforward – drop it in, update BIOS, enable EXPO for RAM and you’re basically done. If you’re building a gaming-focused rig and want one of the best “plug in and enjoy” CPUs without spending crazy flagship money, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a brilliant choice. ## Features - AM5 - 9800X3D - Up To5.2 / 4.7 GHz - DDR5 - GEN 5 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DKFMSMYK | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,326 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 3 in CPUs | | Brand | AMD | | Brand Name | AMD | | CPU manufacturer | AMD | | CPU model | Ryzen 7 | | CPU socket | Socket AM5 | | CPU speed | 4.7 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 104 MB | | Cooling Method | External Cooler | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 5,806 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00730143315289 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 5L x 5W centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | AMD | | Manufacturer Part Number | 100-100001084WOF | | Model Number | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D | | Platform | Windows 11 | | Processor Brand | AMD | | Processor Core Count | 8 | | Processor Count | 8 | | Processor Number of Concurrent Threads | 16 | | Processor Series | Ryzen 7 | | Processor Socket | Socket AM5 | | Processor Speed | 4.7 GHz | | Product Warranty | 3 YEARS | | Secondary Cache | 8 MB | | Secondary cache | 8 MB | | UPC | 730143315289 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wattage | 140 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AMD - **CPU manufacturer:** AMD - **CPU model:** Ryzen 7 - **CPU socket:** Socket AM5 - **CPU speed:** 4.7 GHz - **Cache size:** 104 MB - **Processor Number of Concurrent Threads:** 16 - **Processor count:** 8 - **Secondary cache:** 8 MB - **Wattage:** 140 watts ## Images ![AMD RYZEN ™ 7 9800X 3D Desktop Processor (8-core/16-thread, 104MB cache, up to 5.2 GHz max boost) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NMFO0iUhL.jpg) ![AMD RYZEN ™ 7 9800X 3D Desktop Processor (8-core/16-thread, 104MB cache, up to 5.2 GHz max boost) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5195hGcJ0IL.jpg) ![AMD RYZEN ™ 7 9800X 3D Desktop Processor (8-core/16-thread, 104MB cache, up to 5.2 GHz max boost) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KDfkysoeL.jpg) ![AMD RYZEN ™ 7 9800X 3D Desktop Processor (8-core/16-thread, 104MB cache, up to 5.2 GHz max boost) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qQU2jFgUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent CPU, very happy with it *by C***N on 25 June 2026* This is an absolutely great CPU and I’m very happy with it.
