Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the 9800X3D better than the standard 9700X?

The 9800X3D adds 64MB of stacked 3D V-Cache on top of the base 32MB L3, tripling cache capacity and dramatically improving gaming frame rates in cache-sensitive titles.

Does the OEM version include a cooler?

No — OEM units do not include a cooler. A compatible AM5 cooler rated for 120W TDP must be purchased separately.

Is it compatible with X570 or B550 motherboards?

No — the Ryzen 7 9800X3D requires an AM5 socket motherboard. It is not compatible with AM4 platforms.
