Rumor suggests AMD Ryzen 9000X3D is launching sooner than expected - VideoCardz.com

Club386: AMD Ryzen 9000X3D in September It is reported by Club386 that Ryzen 9000X3D series is said to be launching much sooner than everyone expected. AMD announced the launch of its Ryzen 9000 series for July, which was generally interpreted that the X3D variants would follow a quicker release...

Our source on the Computex show floor tells us AMD plans to launch 9000X3D processors in September. This matches the staggered release of X870E motherboards that we anticipate will arrive the same month. There’s no hard indication of which CPUs will arrive first, but an educated guess from historical releases suggests it’ll likely start with Ryzen 9 9950X3D and possibly Ryzen 9 9900X3D.

There was a level of confidence behind our source’s words, and they’re trustworthy enough to put stock into. That said, familiarity with how nebulous AMD’s launch schedules are urges taking this with a pinch of salt. Nothing’s confirmed until you have a sample in your hand as dates can easily change.

Usually AMD takes over half a year to release the X3D parts. But this time around, it might be just a few months.
Also, AMD is promising some undisclosed improvements to the 3D caches.
If true, this Autumn will be very interesting.

AMD to bring cool differentiation factor to Ryzen 9000 series X3D processors

During an interview at the Computex 2024 Taipei International Computer Show, AMD Senior Technical Marketing Manager Donny Woligroski shared insights into the ongoing development of the 3D V-Cache technology in the upcoming Zen 5 processors.

We have a lot to say about X3D. The bottom line is that we are not resting on our laurels. We are improving the capabilities of X3D, which is really exciting and I am very much looking forward to discussing this with you all. It's not like, hey, we put X3D in the chip, too. We're actively working on really cool differentiators to make it better. We're working on X3D, we're improving it.

Delicious if true

Damn my wallet is crying a 9950x3D and a 5090 this year.

Not rich enough, but I suppose my 5600X and RX 7700 XT are still good enough for 1440p.... right?

Spoiler

.... I tell myself while high on copium.

The 7800X3D is already as low as 339$ in several shops. And the 7950X3D at 499$.
As Zen5 launch got closer, prices have gone down quite a bit. Maybe it will lower a bit more, closer to 300$, just like the 5800X3D.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D drops to $499 for the first time, 7800X3D at $339 - VideoCardz.com

The flagship AMD CPU is now available for less than $500. The upcoming launch of Ryzen 9000 series pushes 7000 series into lower pricing. Just 10 days ago, we reported that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D was available for $554. Today, we can inform our readers that the same CPU has hit its lowest price...

The only improvement I care about in X3D is higher frequency.

Imagine a 5.5Ghz+ X3D CPU.

1440p is not cpu heavy

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Amazing if true. I thought I'd have to wait until next spring.

 

[GHG]

1440p is not cpu heavy

Not with a 7700XT it's not, but with a 4090 it definitely starts to become an issue.

i've had the money for this build sitting for almost a year now... waiting has been really annoying lol.

F Christmas this year kids are getting older they just going to have to deal with it….

rumor is the 5000 series is getting delayed till next year, with only a paper launch later this year

 

[SHA]

Just skip the non x3d cpus, that's a lot better.

 

[StereoVsn]

Well, at least 9800x3D will drop in price by then!

Give me dat 3D cache with 5.0+ clocks and a 16 core monster will be the only CPU I need for the next decade.

 

[lachesis]

I would love if 9950 x3d will have fix that hampered 7950 x3d's gaming performance.... that would be a beast.

 

[analog_future]

I hope they don't stagger the 9800X3D release compared to the 9950X3D and the 9900X3D like they did with the Ryzen 7 CPUs.


Honestly it's all kind of confusing to me as the 7800X3D outperforms both the 7900X3D and 7950X3D in gaming. Is the expectation that we'll see the same results with the 9000 X3D CPUs?
