AMD Ryzen 9800X3D overclocking potential shown: CPU hits jaw-dropping 6.9GHz, exceeds 1,200 fps in Counter-Strike 2



  • AMD’s Ryzen 9800X3D has been overclocked to 6.9GHz with liquid nitrogen
  • This is the first X3D CPU that can be overclocked and it’s very impressive
  • It reached 1,260 fps in Counter-Strike 2 and over 1,500 fps in Valorant

AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is hitting the shelves later today, but the processor is already in the hands of expert overclockers being pushed to its limits – hitting nearly 7GHz for clock speeds and reaching outrageous frame rates in games and scenarios where the CPU is pushed hard.

In case it escaped your attention, one of the interesting points about this new 3D V-Cache CPU is that it’s unlocked, so can be overclocked – which wasn’t possible with previous generation X3D chips. (Its clock speeds are also faster, all of this thanks to the 3D V-Cache being situated underneath the CCD – the die containing the processor cores – allowing for better cooling, compared to the cache being on top where it was located previously).
