The specs of the 9800X3D are coming from Geizhals, which is a price comparison tool that European retailers use, listing the new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D in all its glory. We now know that the 9800X3D will have a 4.7GHz base clock and up to 5.2GHz boost clock, with a 120W TDP and that glorious, uber-special next-gen 3D V-Cache technology.

The listing also confirmed that the new Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor will be compatible with all AMD 600-series motherboards, including the lower-end A620 chipset and even PRO workstation series motherboards. The listing also shows that the 9800X3D has the same silicon as existing models labeled as "GNR-80" with another note as "Free Multiplier: Yes" which means the 9800X3D has an unlocked multiplier.
