Complementing yesterday's Linux review of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D are benchmarks of DDR5-4800 vs. DDR5-6000 performance with Ubuntu Linux and this new 3D V-Cache 8-core / 16-thread desktop processor. The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D Linux review was done with the GSKILL DDR5-6000 EXPO memory along with the other tested processors while today's article is evaluating the performance of the 9850X3D across 300+ workloads when paired running at DDR5-4800 speeds. AMD's messaging with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D with DDR5-4800 is that for gaming there can be minimal performance impact compared to using DDR5-6000. They cited 2 x 16GB DDR5-4800 DIMMs costing around $400 to 2 x 16GB DDR5-6000 DIMMs for around ~$470 USD. The testing with the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D on the ASRock X870E Taichi was done while running Ubuntu 25.10 with the Linux 6.17 kernel.
