Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs Ryzen 7 9800X3D specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D performs better than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 7800X3D in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Also, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
