AMD has officially confirmed that its next-gen Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU will be arriving on 7th November & also brought price cuts for the Ryzen 9000 series.
Today, AMD is announcing two updates as a part of its Zen 5 "Ryzen 9000" family. The first CPU update is the major one in which the company has confirmed and teased its next-gen Ryzen 3D V-Cache CPUs and revealed that the first chip will be arriving on the 7th of November.
We know from earlier reports that the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D will be among the first chips to hit retail shelves and the remaining higher-end "Ryzen 9" stack will be launching early next year.
AMD's SVP & GM of Computing and Graphics, Jack Huynh, also teased the next-gen Ryzen 9000X3D 3D V-Cache CPU, stating "X3D Reimagined".
With that said and just for a recap, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU will feature 8 cores, 16 threads, 96 MB of L3 cache with 8 MB of L2 cache (64 MB 3D V-cache stack), a base clock of 4.70 GHz, a boost clock of 5.20 GHz and a TDP of 120W. The CPU has already been listed by retailers in the US but with preliminary prices. We can expect the 9800X3D somewhere in the same range as the Ryzen 7 7800X3D's MSRP which was set at $449 US.
