AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D overclocking leak hits 5.75 GHz

The first evidence of extreme overclocking for the yet-to-be-released AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D has surfaced online. According to published screenshots, this eight-core processor with 3D V-Cache managed to run at around 5.75 GHz across all cores simultaneously, which is notably higher than its official specifications.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D will be the direct successor to the popular 9800X3D, essentially a refined version with higher clock speeds. Officially, AMD promises a frequency increase of approximately 400 MHz and a boost up to 5.6 GHz in single-threaded workloads. However, enthusiasts appear to have surpassed these figures even before the release, as the leak suggests.

The screenshots show all eight processor cores operating at 5748–5750 MHz. The source of the tests does not disclose the system configuration, but manual tuning or aggressive PBO settings are presumed. For comparison, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D typically reaches 5.4–5.5 GHz across all cores with fine-tuning.

A CPU-Z benchmark result is also mentioned, likely from a single-threaded test, scoring around 790 points. This is comparable to maximally optimized scenarios for the previous X3D generation. Experts note that achieving such frequencies largely depends on cooling, voltages, and memory configuration.

If the leak is confirmed, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D could become the fastest gaming processor on the AM5 platform, especially considering the potential for further overclocking. However, until the official announcement and independent tests, these results should be viewed with caution.
