That's it. This seals the deal. My next gaming PC will use 9800X3D! (Haven't owned one for years, due to RL financial situation, but things are better now and I'm saving up!)
Just bear in mind that the gpu is far more important and the performance of the 9800x3d would be highly dictated by the gpu. Never buy an expensive cpu and then skimp out on a gpu like a lot of rookie pc users. Pc's are a very very expensive investment and becomes outdated very quickly. Im waiting 12 months to see if intel can respond to this AMD slaughter 😂
@@prussell890 The CPU definitely helps in simulation games, Unreal 5 games (which everyone seems to be switching to), or Capcom's games like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds. Also depending on how old the cpu is (I had an i5 4690K with a GTX 1080), upgrading the GPU may not make a difference in framerate in new games because they are more CPU heavy. I could crank the graphics up to high but be getting the same 20-30fps as on low settings because CPU was at 100% usage. Needed a whole platform upgrade to update CPU to 7800X3D, so still had a GTX 1080 for a year but doubled my FPS.
@Revan_7even yes in your situation its 100% worth it if you upgrade to a high end gpu. Unreal 5 is horribly optimized if im right in thinking. I was thinking of changing to AMD but I wont see any serious gains from my current i7 14700k and 4080 super. My i7 14700k is still a very fast cpu
Simulation games like FS2020 saw a 20% bump to average FPS and 24% bump to 1% lows compared to the 7800X3D. Edit: Tom's Hardware review shows the FS2020 charts, my replies seem to have vanished.
That is a huge boost, if it's casually achievable without direct-die as well. But damn... I've been wanting to do direct-die for years, and this might be the one. It is just such a cool CPU in terms of features and innovations culminating over time.
Gotta say it's better than I expected. Still only like around 10% uplift, but if you're ready to spend some coins you can delid it and push it another 10%.
Yeah but also while eliminating vcaches non gaming downsides too so this time you're getting the fastest 8 cores for everything not just gaming Hell even for gaming if you're playing esport type games and using high polling rate peripherals you'll be getting the non gaming performance improvement there, which is like 30% and seeing 8k polling rate mice are so taxing, that extra performance is needed
All of them arent. Even 14900K is very decent once you throw away E cores, which are absolutely usless during gaming and eat up a ton of watts doing nothing useful.
Hey Roman, one small addition I personally would like to see in these comparisons is the calculated ratio of frames/watt or watts/frame. Obviously I can pause the video and run the numbers on my phone calculator pretty easily, but it does interrupt the flow of the video. For me, seeing those ratios expressed numerically is a quick and easy way of cataloging the performance in my brain; seeing it and hearing you discuss it in those terms would help simplify the information for me and other people like me!

Unboxing, review + testing, delidding with polishing + direct die tests and "Thermal Grizzly" cats intermission😁all done in 18 mins!👍👍That's why I like your reviews! 9800X3D has certainly delivered on all fronts mainly by putting V-Cache underneath compute die, congrats AMD for creating best gaming CPU!👏Intel should be jealous, efficiency is truly superb! Only thing I am missing with these high end gaming CPUs is support of max DDR5 RAM speeds of 8800 MT. Not sure why they go with max 5600 MT in this case or 6400 MT with Intel.
Hi Roman. Please do an introductory video about delidding and direct-die cooling using TG's products and the 9800X3D, explaining the how to do it from scratch, giving tips and tricks when applicable, the tools needed, as well as any other information. The 9800X3D is worthy of it, you make an informative promotional video of TGs products, and we, PC builders who've never done this but would like to get into it now, get a reliable tutorial. Everybody wins.
That's it-a cat test in a CPU review. Finally, a bold TH-camr did it! Take that, Steve. I mean, he probably already did it too; that man posts way too many videos!
If buffing the die seems necessary for liquid metal reliability perhaps you could include simple die stencils with the delidding tool to help protect the PCB. Uploading stencil files for different generations that we could 3D print or trace onto thin cardboard would be really cool as well. This is finally becoming what we've hoped X3D could be. We may even see them integrate cache into the main Zen 6 lineup now. Intel really has an uphill battle ahead of them...
Now that the processors with 3d cache are unlocked, it will be interesting to see the performance of the 9900x3d and 9950x3d. Maybe this closes the gap that the 3d models of the 7000 line had in games.
Thank you for the excellent video. Clear, direct, and very informative. I almost wish I had not seen the performance and temperature benefits from delidding the CPU, because that is not something I think I can do myself. I am new to this channel, but you don't talk about what kind of cooler you use for the delidded CPU. It would be very interesting to see what are the limits that can be done for performance for a delidded CPU, with performance tuning of wattage, speed, timings, and memory optimization. In the end, I will probably end up getting a 9800 X3D to replace my aging 5600 X3D system, that is going to move to the backup system. I am going to wait though for prices and availability. Thanks again for a great video!
It would be nice to se you do a deep dive on different thermal compounds when delidding - liquid metal as usual, your KryoSheets, ptm7950, perhaps even some regular thermal paste. Like, focusing on engineering, material science, and longevity - it's great when you go into the nitty-gritty details. A video of that kind could skip all the gaming benchmarks, but of course do a synthetic all-core load like Cinebench to show the temperature differences of the different compounds. Would be interesting if you also add your high-performance heat spreader and talk about differences in thermal compound between the HPHS and cooler.
If it has a cache bank per ccd or eliminates previous gen latency issues in some other way, AND is overclockable like this chip, it will likely fly off the shelves.
@@temporaltomato3021 Yes but at the same time i wish there was a productivity chip with bigger better L1 and L2 cache . This way everyone would benefit and not only the gamers .
I've tried to find at least one source that could do max RT/PT tests with open world games like Cyberpunk, Star Wars, Spider-Man, etc. The high Ray Tracing does hit so hard on many game CPU performance. I've been running a lot of high-end RT and PT test for CPU loads. It's been just unbelievable how demanding some games, scenes, settings are for CPU usage. Not just average usage, but 0.1 & 1% fps averages. I have been running CPU tests for 15+ years, but just under a year with CPU tests with RT on wide a range of titles. My well binned 5800x3D does limit hard my Cyberpunk experience even at 4k & 1440p ultrawide screens. Started testing with max graphics + PT, but lower rendering resolution. The CPU becomes a massive bottleneck even at 60 fps range or lower (medium crowd density). Trying to use high crown density, CPU is screaming help. I would just like to know the difference on CPU heavy scenes, 5800x3D vs. 7800x3D vs. 9800x3D. Maybe more if possible. These three would at least show the low and average fps difference when using 4090. The game could run low ultra performance 4k mode or 1440p ultra performance. I would just like to see those Path Tracing and more demanding open world RT games CPU differences. I would do these test, but sadly miss the hardware needed.
Also intel tests for comparison. Arrow lakes have surprisingly bad 0.1% and 1% lows in 1080p ultra performance, so it should be interesting to see how it will change in 1440p or 4k.
@@igorvidakovic7388 I already found Eurogamer Digital Foundry 9800x3D tests on their website. They have by far the best testing methods, scenarios, automation, etc. for CPU's with and without RT settings. Truly 5/5 site for end users. Highly recommend. They also have test result for all the main resolutions + even better scale for different fps loads: low 1%, 5%, average, high 5%, 1%. Then there are live video + graph for selected CPUs. This is the new gold standard for CPU testing.
Really good to see bump in base Ghz, lower TDP/Temp and overall gain, though not substantial compared to 7800X3D, but still overall good package.. Will upgrade next year from my current 7700X running with 32GB/6400 CL32 along with 2TB Samsung 990 Pro & nVidia 3800Ti (hopefully will have budget to upgrade GPU as well).
hmmmm I can't wait to see proper OC ing deep dives on this part also very curious to see what the higher core count X3D parts can do and just generally how they perform great job brother on this review.... also with your wall decorations theres a cool looking product just released that may be a good addition the GN dice set you'd have to check the dimensions of course
Would enjoy seeing the block getting removed after such puddles of LM, sure you know your stuff, no doubt. I just apply it very differently. Would suck that fresh extra LM back in the syringe aswell, directing the needle lumen towards the bottom of the LM applied. I prepare the surfaces of a die and cooler base (identical area as a die), by massaging the surface with a Q-tip and some force, with approximately 1-2mm drop of LM. It saturates the surfaces "chemically" or what so ever, then can quite generously squeeze LM on top to make a wiggly puddle while spreading it fully. The last step is to suck back in the excess amounts of LM, leaving a kind of very thin surfaces of LM on both the die+cooler surfaces. And now it is time to connect them together. Done LM installations some 15years too, and changed the way of applying to this by some notes done by myself. It's rather hassle free imo, due to normal way of doing and the nature of LM being like a liquid magnet lol. Also scraping the surfaces gently with some 1000-2000 grit sanding paper. Just some light sanding to make surfaces change to a matte finish, LM "connects" way better and easier spreading.
I say "no thanks" to those new features. I already hate when the titles are automatically changed. I pretty much prefer creators who pays real translators to provide good old subtitles than any of those automated stuffs following the AI trend.
@@PainterVierax whether you hate it or not google doesn't care. they need to justify the billions of dollars they're spending on AI and we get to be their guinea pigs.
Direct die with curve optimizer - 30 or +30 all cores etc test maybe be veru interesting, if have time play with processor. End thanks best english language pc channel on YT.
I got my 9800X3D on order, sadly I live in Canada and our postal service is on strike currently, so I probably won't see my CPU until after that's all done, but upgrading from the 5800X3D, I'm looking forward to the performance and efficiency gain! Next I will just need to save up for a used 4000 series GPU to make this computer truly efficient, as I run an RTX 3080 right now
Cats! Delidding!! Overclocking!!! I swear it's the best 9800x3D review so far!!!!!
This review does have some special approaches which is nice, and usual with DerBauer.
I don't know. Steve (HUB) relaxing on a couch was pretty amazing.
He is The Builder for a reason (that's what "Der Bauer" translates to).

I am new to this channel, but you don't talk about what kind of cooler you use for the delidded CPU. It would be very interesting to see what are the limits that can be done for performance for a delidded CPU, with performance tuning of wattage, speed, timings, and memory optimization.
In the end, I will probably end up getting a 9800 X3D to replace my aging 5600 X3D system, that is going to move to the backup system. I am going to wait though for prices and availability.
Thanks again for a great video!
10:18 Highlight of the entire video!
Cat break was amazing please make this a regular thing
In India it is Pre-Order and will be available after 20th November the price is like 47,500/- Rs which is like 570$ dollars US
Love the cats ad 😍
I LOVE THE CAT TEST - MORE!
Will the mystery of why cats are so fascinated with boxes ever be solved?
ask Shrodinger
@@WilhelmvonFahrvergnugen I did he said we will never know why they do or why they don't
The universal law of “if I fits, I sits”
@@Matt-oq4jqNo kidding…and amazed at how they squeeze themselves in and are apparently comfortable.
Cats are fluid, fluids like to be in containers.
It would be nice to se you do a deep dive on different thermal compounds when delidding - liquid metal as usual, your KryoSheets, ptm7950, perhaps even some regular thermal paste. Like, focusing on engineering, material science, and longevity - it's great when you go into the nitty-gritty details.
A video of that kind could skip all the gaming benchmarks, but of course do a synthetic all-core load like Cinebench to show the temperature differences of the different compounds. Would be interesting if you also add your high-performance heat spreader and talk about differences in thermal compound between the HPHS and cooler.
Would have loved to see how you properly applied the liquid metal, might wanna try that stuff at some point later on a build I have in mind.
love your video, great content, thank you! :)
Nice multi-cat benchmark!
Both cats approved. Enough said! 😹
9950X3D will be epic .
If it has a cache bank per ccd or eliminates previous gen latency issues in some other way, AND is overclockable like this chip, it will likely fly off the shelves.
@@temporaltomato3021 Yes but at the same time i wish there was a productivity chip with bigger better L1 and L2 cache . This way everyone would benefit and not only the gamers .
I've tried to find at least one source that could do max RT/PT tests with open world games like Cyberpunk, Star Wars, Spider-Man, etc. The high Ray Tracing does hit so hard on many game CPU performance. I've been running a lot of high-end RT and PT test for CPU loads. It's been just unbelievable how demanding some games, scenes, settings are for CPU usage. Not just average usage, but 0.1 & 1% fps averages. I have been running CPU tests for 15+ years, but just under a year with CPU tests with RT on wide a range of titles. My well binned 5800x3D does limit hard my Cyberpunk experience even at 4k & 1440p ultrawide screens. Started testing with max graphics + PT, but lower rendering resolution. The CPU becomes a massive bottleneck even at 60 fps range or lower (medium crowd density). Trying to use high crown density, CPU is screaming help.
I would just like to know the difference on CPU heavy scenes, 5800x3D vs. 7800x3D vs. 9800x3D. Maybe more if possible. These three would at least show the low and average fps difference when using 4090. The game could run low ultra performance 4k mode or 1440p ultra performance. I would just like to see those Path Tracing and more demanding open world RT games CPU differences. I would do these test, but sadly miss the hardware needed.
Also intel tests for comparison. Arrow lakes have surprisingly bad 0.1% and 1% lows in 1080p ultra performance, so it should be interesting to see how it will change in 1440p or 4k.
@Monsux TechPowerUp has a test with RT in games on different resolutions
@@igorvidakovic7388 I already found Eurogamer Digital Foundry 9800x3D tests on their website. They have by far the best testing methods, scenarios, automation, etc. for CPU's with and without RT settings. Truly 5/5 site for end users. Highly recommend.
They also have test result for all the main resolutions + even better scale for different fps loads: low 1%, 5%, average, high 5%, 1%. Then there are live video + graph for selected CPUs. This is the new gold standard for CPU testing.
Really good to see bump in base Ghz, lower TDP/Temp and overall gain, though not substantial compared to 7800X3D, but still overall good package.. Will upgrade next year from my current 7700X running with 32GB/6400 CL32 along with 2TB Samsung 990 Pro & nVidia 3800Ti (hopefully will have budget to upgrade GPU as well).
I can’t believe all they had to do to make overclocking possible was to flip the chip and cache. And I’m so glad someone at AMD realized it
Nice cat break 🐈
hmmmm I can't wait to see proper OC ing deep dives on this part also very curious to see what the higher core count X3D parts can do and just generally how they perform great job brother on this review.... also with your wall decorations theres a cool looking product just released that may be a good addition the GN dice set you'd have to check the dimensions of course
when der8uer smiles
Thumbs up for the cat-break. Not b/c I particularly care for the cats (I'm agnostic), but b/c you listened to the cat-loving comments. Hilarious.

Would enjoy seeing the block getting removed after such puddles of LM, sure you know your stuff, no doubt. I just apply it very differently. Would suck that fresh extra LM back in the syringe aswell, directing the needle lumen towards the bottom of the LM applied. I prepare the surfaces of a die and cooler base (identical area as a die), by massaging the surface with a Q-tip and some force, with approximately 1-2mm drop of LM. It saturates the surfaces "chemically" or what so ever, then can quite generously squeeze LM on top to make a wiggly puddle while spreading it fully. The last step is to suck back in the excess amounts of LM, leaving a kind of very thin surfaces of LM on both the die+cooler surfaces. And now it is time to connect them together. Done LM installations some 15years too, and changed the way of applying to this by some notes done by myself. It's rather hassle free imo, due to normal way of doing and the nature of LM being like a liquid magnet lol. Also scraping the surfaces gently with some 1000-2000 grit sanding paper. Just some light sanding to make surfaces change to a matte finish, LM "connects" way better and easier spreading.
cat was teasing intel here you go then taking it back saying nope
12:27 Taken the phrase "Do not try this at home" to a new level.🤣
TBH it's not as sketchy as it may seem if you're familiar with using a dremel but I'd probably use a slightly wider and softer buffing wheel.
Thanks for the PT audio option but I'd rather prefer to listen to the original :)
I say "no thanks" to those new features. I already hate when the titles are automatically changed.
I pretty much prefer creators who pays real translators to provide good old subtitles than any of those automated stuffs following the AI trend.
that is some strange stuff. I didn't even enable it :O
@@PainterVierax whether you hate it or not google doesn't care. they need to justify the billions of dollars they're spending on AI and we get to be their guinea pigs.
@@der8auer-en nooo please that was fun :)
damn, thats a well designed chip that is. holding 5.6ghz stable is pretty nice along with 3d cache
ah yes cat break , thats what i needed.
1,142V VDD during Cinebench R23 is a damn good golden sample. Mine is doing 1,24V. 5.25GHz all core Cinebench at stock? Did you undervolt the CPU?
Direct die with curve optimizer - 30 or +30 all cores etc test maybe be veru interesting, if have time play with processor. End thanks best english language pc channel on YT.
Car validated the KING of GAMING CPU so no more question needed
The graphs in this video really satisfy the graph part of my brain
That t-shirt he's wearing looks really soft and comfortable.
7000 direct die frame v2 should be compatible right? I don’t see anything that’s physically different than the regular 9700x.
Does the 9800X3D still benefit from an offset heatsink mounting, like the 7mm offset for the Noctua NH-D15?
I got my 9800X3D on order, sadly I live in Canada and our postal service is on strike currently, so I probably won't see my CPU until after that's all done, but upgrading from the 5800X3D, I'm looking forward to the performance and efficiency gain! Next I will just need to save up for a used 4000 series GPU to make this computer truly efficient, as I run an RTX 3080 right now
