Product overview

Released July 7, 2019, the Ryzen 7 3800X is a 3rd‑gen Ryzen (Zen 2 “Matisse”) 8‑core/16‑thread CPU for the AM4 platform. It runs at 3.9 GHz base and up to 4.5 GHz boost on TSMC 7 nm, and supports PCIe 4.0 and DDR4‑3200 on compatible boards. It lacks integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required.

Positioned as a high‑end desktop part, it exists to offer higher clocks and a 105 W power envelope for users who want extra headroom versus 65 W alternatives. It’s well‑suited to 1440p gaming and mixed creator work such as streaming, video editing, and 3D rendering, while remaining quick for office/productivity. It also has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking.
