Even if AMD has reportedly sent invitations for some kind of event it’s possible it may not have anything to do with its 9000X3D processors. However, it does coincide with recent rumors indicating a product launch announcement happening next week and it looks like a number of media outlets are on board this will indeed be a release party for the awaited 8-core/16-thread gaming CPU featuring 3D V-Cache technology.
Per TechPowerUp:
- “AMD China has set up a press event to launch its new Ryzen 7 9800X3D “Zen 5″ processor with 3D V-cache.”
- “In first-party gaming benchmarks put out by Intel for its upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K “Arrow Lake” processor, the new chip is shown within 3% of the Core i9-14900K, which the current Ryzen 7 7800X3D beats, and the 9800X3D can only push the gaming performance envelope further from here.”
Per VideoCardz:
- “The company is expected to introduce three SKUs at the same time, but only the 8-core version known as Ryzen 7 9800X3D would appear next month, it is claimed.”
- “The fact that the box in this teaser says “7” is a clear confirmation of that.”
