Last year, AMD introduced the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 7900X3D, followed shortly by the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Since that time, several new 3D V-cache models have been released, including the Ryzen 5 5600X3D, Ryzen 7 5700X3D, and Ryzen 5 7600X3D, appearing at various times. However, AMD seems to be planning a different approach for the upcoming Zen 5 X3D models, according to a recent rumor from Chiphell.
Upcoming Launch
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to debut alone in late October, accompanied by new X870 motherboards. There is a possibility that AMD could unveil the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D at the same time, although these processors are likely to be released next year, presumably after CES 2025. These new CPUs are rumored to feature 'special attributes' that distinguish them from previous generations.
Performance Expectations
Moore's Law is Dead has speculated that the Ryzen 9 9950X3D may feature a doubled amount of 3D V-cache. It can be assumed that the Ryzen 9 9900X3D will receive similar enhancements, along with a potential price increase. If these speculations hold true, both CPUs are expected to perform exceptionally well in benchmarks, maintaining their top positions until the arrival of Zen 6. Neither of these models will support overclocking, which has been the norm since the Ryzen 7 5800X3D period.
