AMD is allegedly going to introduce its next-generation 3D V-Cache CPUs starting with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in the coming month followed by the Ryzen 9 9950X3D & Ryzen 9 9900X3D in early 2025.
The rumor comes from Chiphell Forums where it is stated that AMD is planning to launch its Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU, an 8 Core SKU, by the end of October while the higher-end SKUs such as the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D will be launching early next year.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D was the first 3D V-Cache chip which was followed by the announcement of the Zen 4 3D V-Cache trio but it's well known that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D launched slightly after the higher-end SKUs.
