If there is a company benefiting from the crisis Intel is going through, it is AMD, the American giant that has taken advantage of the situation to gain ground in the gaming processor field. Thanks to the issues experienced by users with Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen series, they have started to bet on AMD, and as expected, this trust has translated into increased sales. And, according to various sources, the situation could escalate in the coming days.
As indicated by the portal TechSpot in a recent publication, AMD is reportedly planning to launch the Ryzen 7 9800X3D at the end of October to compete directly with Intel’s new Arrow Lake processors. The low sales of the Ryzen 9000, the imminent arrival of the Arrow Lake-S series from Intel, and the poor performance of AMD’s Granite Ridge CPUs based on Zen 5 architecture have led to a reevaluation of their launch strategy. Therefore, they plan to release only three models of the Ryzen 9000X3D series: the 9800X3D, 9900X3D, and 9950X3D.
Only one will arrive in 2024
Unfortunately for interested parties, it is likely that AMD will test their patience. Unless there is a change of plans, the intention is to launch only the Ryzen 7 9800X3D at the end of October 2024, as the other two models would arrive in the first and second quarter of 2025. This means that AMD’s CPU would debut before Intel’s new Core Ultra processors, which are set to be released on October 24th.
In addition to the above, it is expected that the 9900X3D and 9950X3D models will include new features beyond 3D V-cache, allowing them to compete in both gaming and productivity against Intel. There is also a rumor about the possible inclusion of dual 3D cache chiplets in the Ryzen 9900X3D and 9950X3D models, although details have yet to be confirmed, as well as the potential lack of overclocking support in the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
