This overclocker was able to achieve nearly 150 MHz higher than the boost clock on all cores, which seems decent, but not remarkable.
Overclocker Pushes Ryzen 7 9850X3D to 5.75 GHz on All Cores on GIGABYTE X870 AORUS Tachyon ICE
The Ryzen 7 9850X3D brings 400 MHz higher boost clock out of the box compared to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. A 400 MHz jump is decent, but since the processor allows users to push the clocks via manual overclocking, some users with the CPU have already started sharing the results. Keep in mind that the review embargo on the 9850X3D still exists, but the early sneak peek gives us some idea about the new high-end gaming processor.
The overclocker OC_Beer from Overclock forums shared a screenshot showing that the Ryzen 7 9850X3D hit ~5.75 GHz on all cores. The user didn't share details on the tuning, but achieving 5.75 GHz or similar clocks on the new chip was expected. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D can reach ~5.5 GHz on all cores, and even higher if users are willing to dedicate more time and effort to the overclocking process. This doesn't necessarily bring a lot of performance boost in gaming, and requires a premium cooling solution and a good power delivery to sustain those clocks for a longer duration.
We are roughly 10 days away from the official launch of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, and users who have already got the sample for testing and review are probably trying to achieve even higher clocks than the Overclock forums user. The 9850X3D comes with a 5.6 GHz boost clock out of the box, but this is promised for single-core. Achieving 5.75 GHz is surely decent, but hitting 6.0 GHz will be exemplary. We expect top-binned chips to hit nearly 6.0 GHz, provided users deploy them on motherboards with robust VRMs and utilize a premium AIO cooling solution.
That being said, enthusiast overclockers who aim for world record frequencies will likely break 7.0 GHz on this one since we already have a few guys crossing 7.0 GHz on the Ryzen 7 9800X3D recently.
