AMD has been teasing the Ryzen 9000X3D Zen 5 CPUs with 3D V-Cache and today they formally announced the specs of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor that will begin shipping 7 November.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is AMD's 8-core / 16-thread processor with 64MB of 3D V-Cache. This uses 2nd Gen AMD 3D V-Cache where the 64MB of cache is now underneath the processor cores so that the CCD is positioned closer to the heatsink/cooler. The intent is that the new 3D V-Cache processors will run cooler than prior generation 3D V-Cache processors.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D will boost up to 5.2GHz and feature a 4.7GHz while total it provides 104MB of cache. This 120 Watt processor will have a suggested retail price of $479 USD. Again, expect retail availability on 7 November.

Of course it’s almost $500… AMD just cannot fathom the idea of launching something at a somewhat reasonable price, and every single time it means the reviews and first impressions are middling due to a lack of value. Kills my excitement every time too, since I’ll just get it cheaper in several months instead of excitedly impulse buying it at a more sane starting price. Probably better for me I realize, but I want to be excited about it! Their launch prices are such a buzzkill.

Not terrible, but not great. Let's see if they're actually available at that price.

I don’t know about you guys but that’s super expensive imo.

It's reasonable for a high-end bleeding edge processor. Some of them are a couple hundred dollars more. It's more than I'd spend these days, since computing power is so great that even the 20th-30th most powerful processor will do everything you need it to do, but some people are willing to spend a fortune to have the best of the best.

To be fair I think I’m just salty since I used to be that guy and can no longer afford to do it lol.

If it makes you feel any better, I can afford to, and still don't. There's really no point anymore. You can spend half that and still get a processor that'll do literally everything you want it to do with overhead to spare. Benchmarks are well past the point of actual use now.

That does make me feel better haha - much appreciated my man!
