Gigabyte confirms Ryzen 7 9800X3D gains 3% to 5% gaming boost with X3D Turbo mode - VideoCardz.com

Gigabyte leaks 9800X3D in X3D Turbo teaser video It’s not like a secret anymore. We randomly spotted some interesting info in Gigabyte’s a video featuring the recently announced X3D Turbo Mode. This mode reportedly focuses on core distribution, bandwidth tuning, hardware power balancing, and...

3-5% extra on top of the Zen 5 improvements and, when compared to Intel, on top of the X3D bump and on top of the -6% in gaming of the new Ultra chips can all make for a substantial combined gap.
This Turbo seems like an extra to me; I was just expecting X3D but on Zen 5 now.

It’s not bad but I don’t feel so hot upgrading from a 7950X3D now

Epeens are weeping while wallets are rejoicing. Servers were the target both companies took.

Edit: Wait, that's a marketing thing by a mobo vendor. Still not expecting much, but we'll see.

From what I understand, this X3D Turbo mode, is a feature from Gigabyte.
I'm not sure how it's doing what it does, but it's probably some form of automatic OC. Either for the memory or for the CPU cores.

I'm waiting for reviews but I'm pleasantly surprised by how my 9700x is performing on a new x870 board. Getting better 1% lows on a system with a 4080 than I do with a 4090 paired with a 5800x3d.

Could also be the 6400 DDR5 putting in work, who knows, but I'm not in a rush to jump to the 9800X3D, might wait for the AM5 swan song x3d chips.

But you get 5-10%+ extra performance with the 7000 series of processors by enabling PBO and/or EXPO though.

What we really need to see is what a fully optimized 7800X3D looks like against a fully optimized 9800X3D. Too many numbers being thrown around right now with too many variables to really have a solid grasp of what we're going to be looking at.

Expo and pbo are two different things entirely and will result in improvements in different areas.

Well, the PPT max is the same as it is with the 7700x on eco mode. Roughly 90 watts. So it's better than it looks. Although, not much in gaming. Only hard cap in a game I had with eco mode was the new New World. Even then, it was maybe a few fps. But those things should be good in a small form case. Of course, that's only with a 4070. So a more powerful gpu should see more.

I understand that. I'm just saying they both provide various performance improvements and we don't have a baseline to go off of to compare to what Gigabyte is showing with the 9800X3D performance boosts.

It's being cooled by a peerless assissin in a lian li o11 mini so I'm running it at stock power limits, and even still it's getting results far better than I expected.

I've not seen it go over 65 degrees in any scenario yet either, and that's just with the 3 stock case fans (2 140mm front intake, 1 120mm rear out). All turned out far better than I hoped, silent but very capable living room PC.

I'm still rocking a 3800x so if i can get a 9800x without much fuss then i may upgrade. Then again i also may not bother since nothing i play atm justifies a new rig.

Turbo mode on a 7950X3D disable a CCX and SMT lol it’s a new option in the beta bios

Naw it's not exclusive I upgraded my Asus X670E Extreme board last night... Turbo mode is in bios

This explains why they still allowed retailers to sell non x3D chips still but they pulled every single X3D

Yes master!
