AMD has announced the upcoming release of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, an enhanced version of its Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor initially showcased at CES. Set to launch on January 29th, the 9850X3D will be priced at $499, a slight increase from its predecessor.
The new CPU features higher boost clocks compared to the 9800X3D, promising improved performance. With the same 8-core / 16-thread configuration and a 120-watt TDP, the 9850X3D represents a refined iteration of the 9800X3D chip.
While the exact impact on gaming performance remains uncertain, AMD suggests the benefits will be more pronounced in frequency-sensitive gaming titles, particularly esports games. Despite the performance enhancements, the price remains competitive for the upgraded chip.
