Writing an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D review in 2025 is a funny thing. Since this chip launched in 2023, it’s been revered as one of the absolute best gaming processors ever created.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the Ryzen 9 9950X3D both share AMD's coveted 3D V-caching architecture. Some architectural differences separate them from the regular Ryzen 7 9700X and the Ryzen 9 9950X.

At its launch, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the only Zen 5 processor in AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D range. More variants, presumably (but so far unconfirmed) a 9900X3D and 9950X3D, are expected to follow.

If that is not you, AMD's own non-X3D Ryzen 7 and 9 processors in its 9000 series will be a better bet for most buyers. But for its niche, it's a killer.
