Fresh rumors indicate that we could see the Ryzen 9800X3D revealed in just a couple of weeks, with a top-end single-core boost of 5.4GHz, even?

New leaks have burst the optimistic bubble around the CPU’s gaming prowess, but there’s lots to chew over with these benchmarks.

It appears that AMD is getting ready to unveil its first consumer Zen 5 processors with 3D V-cache, the timing of which nearly coincides with retail availability of Arrow Lake.

Leaked benchmark for Cinebench shows big single-core, and even bigger multi-core, gains for the Ryzen 9800X3D and also the 9950X3D processor.

An MSI presentation says that AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D does not have substantially higher performance than the typical version.

It’s no wonder that many gamers are anticipating the 9000X3D lineup, especially because the non-3D Zen 5 failed to move the needle in gaming scenarios. However, according to a new leak from a surprising source,

If any of the rumors for AMD's next gaming processor featuring 3D V-cache technology are true, then the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D could end up being one of the most sought-after CPUs in 2024/2025. This latest pair of tidbits point to a potential release before the holidays and a turbo clock rate which could see it besting many of the most powerful gaming CPUs.

Even though AMD just launched its regular Zen 5 CPUs in August, their lukewarm reception and the imminent arrival of competing chips from Intel could spur AMD to release the X3D V-Cache versions ahead of schedule.
