AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D processors are rumored to be hitting the cabinets on March 12.
VideoCardz claims that its sources point out that that is the on-sale date for the following 3D V-Cache processors for this present Zen 5 era.
On high of that, an everyday leaker on Weibo, Golden Pig Improve, reckons that the overview embargoes on these two Ryzen 9 X3D chips can be lifted on March 11. That matches with the situation outlined, as sometimes opinions can be aired the day earlier than the {hardware} goes on sale (however not all the time, thoughts).
There’s been a good previous hole (and a variety of rumor-mongering) between the announcement of the 9950X3D and 9900X3D at CES 2025, and the (purported) launch of the chips. Rumors circulating late on final yr urged we’d get these CPUs in direction of the tip of January 2025, however that clearly didn’t occur.
These two Ryzen 9 spins on 3D V-Cache observe the prevailing Ryzen 7 9800X3D which was launched final November and is an 8-core powerhouse processor for gaming.
Evaluation: Will the Ryzen 9950X3D be price it?
The Ryzen 9950X3D is the 16-core flagship for AMD’s 3D V-Cache chips, that are configured with a particular form of cache that’s significantly useful in relation to PC gaming. The 9900X3D is its lesser 12-core sibling, and don’t anticipate these processors to return low-cost – they most actually gained’t.
Pricing was bumped up barely for the 9800X3D, in comparison with the MSRP of the 7800X3D earlier than it, and rumor has it that the 9950X3D may tip the scales at $699 within the US (round £550 / AU$1100), with the 9900X3D probably launching at $599.
Additionally, in case you’re pondering that the Ryzen 9950X3D can be some form of complete gaming champ, nicely don’t be led astray by that notion. As AMD has already advised us, we are able to anticipate this flagship to be roughly equal to the Ryzen 9800X3D in gaming, with a little bit of give and take – the 9950X3D could also be barely quicker for sure video games, and the 9800X3D might win out narrowly in others. Count on roughly the identical expertise with PC gaming, basically.
Why pay a very good deal extra for the 9950X3D, then? As a result of it’s going to be loads peppier for different duties away from gaming, so in case you use your PC for extra critical workloads – and nonetheless need a fantastic gaming chip – then that is the CPU to spring for.
If it’s primarily gaming that you simply’re into, stick to the Ryzen 9800X3D, though it is a well-liked processor that also stays difficult to purchase at its MSRP. Certainly, the value some third-party resellers are at present asking for the 9800X3D shouldn’t be far off the rumored asking worth of the 9900X3D. (And it’s all Intel’s fault, based on AMD).
