The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a new Zen 5 desktop processor with 3D V-Cache that will, if anything like the preceding Zen 4 model, feature 8 CPU cores and 16 threads, is releasing as early as the end of October, according to new rumors shared on China’s Chiphell forums. AMD is also said to be prepping a Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D, two additional Zen 5 CPUs that feature not only 3D V-Cache, but also “new features,” but these seemingly won’t arrive until 2025.
