The Ryzen 7 9850X3D features the same 8-core, 16-threads design as the 9800X3D, as well as the same 96MB L3 cache that makes these chips especially suited for gaming workloads. Thanks to the higher level of binning, the 9850X3D can now hit 5.6GHz clock speeds, up from the 9800X3D's 5.2GHz, at the same 120W TDP. This is an almost 8% increase in clock speed, and should make the 9850X3D the fastest gaming CPU in AMD's lineup, and consequently, on the market.

"Many people in the PC industry said, well, if you want graphics, it's gotta be discrete graphics because otherwise people will think it's bad graphics," Macri said at last year's CES. "What Apple showed was consumers don't care what's inside the box. They actually care what the what the box looks like. They care about the screen, the keyboard, the mouse. They care about what it does."
