Prepare to be amazed! AMD’s latest and greatest, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, has just been pushed to its absolute limits, reaching an incredible 6.9GHz overclock. The result? Mind-blowing gaming performance that leaves even the most powerful competitors in the dust.
This overclocking feat was accomplished by ASUS China General Manager Tony Yu, who used LN2 cooling to chill the 9800X3D processor and push it to its maximum potential. The processor was paired with the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard, showcasing the remarkable synergy between hardware and software.
The performance gains are nothing short of spectacular. In Counter-Strike 2, the overclocked 9800X3D achieved an astonishing 1262.9FPS, rivaling the performance of Intel’s Core i9-14900K running at a blistering 8GHz. However, the 9800X3D achieves this phenomenal performance with significantly less power consumption, drawing only around 100W.
But that’s not all! The 9800X3D also delivered an unprecedented 2000FPS+ in Valorant’s character selection menu, followed by a consistent 1500FPS+ at max settings and an average of 1100FPS in-game at 1080p resolution. It’s a testament to the power efficiency of the 9800X3D that it can maintain these incredible frame rates while consuming just 100W.
The overclocked 9800X3D also showed its prowess in other benchmark tests. Cinebench R23, a popular benchmark for multi-core performance, saw the 9800X3D achieve a score of 30,513 points, a massive 36% increase over the stock scores. This demonstrates the 9800X3D’s capabilities in demanding multi-threaded applications.
AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is not only a gaming powerhouse but also a capable all-rounder. It boasts impressive clock speeds, ensuring excellent performance in non-gaming applications as well. As Chris Szewczyk, a renowned tech reviewer, stated, “The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a gaming powerhouse with none of the weaknesses of prior X3D chips.”
If you’re a gamer looking for the ultimate competitive edge or simply desire a smooth, high-frame-rate gaming experience, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, especially when overclocked, is a game-changer. Its power efficiency and exceptional performance across a wide range of applications make it a truly exceptional CPU.
