Previous rumors suggested that AMD's next-gen Ryzen 9000 X3D CPUs, based on Zen 5, would launch in October. This time around, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to be the first to hit the market, while the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D are projected for a 2025 release. A reliable leaker from Chiphell has now shared an exact date for this launch.
Launch Details
AMD is anticipated to officially introduce the Ryzen 7 9800X3D on October 25, with sales beginning in early November. The processor's clock speed is said to be "quite high," but it remains unclear if it will surpass the speeds of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D or Ryzen 7 9700X. A previous benchmark suggested that the all-core boost could reach 5.2 GHz, and a single core might even hit 5.5 GHz.
Pricing and Performance
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to carry a hefty price tag, although this might be influenced by local taxes. There are mixed signals regarding the performance enhancements offered by the new Zen 5 X3D models. Some leaked slides from MSI’s testing indicate a modest 13% performance increase in Far Cry 6, but they do not clarify which specific model this applies to. Still, it won't be long before we discover the truth regarding these performance claims.
