AMD Ryzen 9000X3D to come in September, starting 9950X3D, 9900X3D

The AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs could start releasing as soon as this September. X3D processors will release starting with 9950X3D & 9900X3D. No mention of 9800X3D.

Two years ago in 2022, AMD released the very first range of CPUs in the AMD Ryzen 7000 series. AMD followed it up by releasing the Ryzen 7000X3D series about 6 months later in early 2023. These X3D processors come with an additional 64MB X3D cache on top of existing L3 cache, which massively boost the performance in games.

Unlike the AMD Ryzen 5000 series which, when originally launched, had just one newly introduced X3D CPU, namely the Ryzen 5800X3D, AMD went with three X3D processors in the Ryzen 7000 series. The Ryzen 7950X3D, Ryzen 7900X3D and Ryzen 7800X3D.

It seems that not only AMD wants to repeat a similar processor lineup for the Ryzen 9000X3D series, but it seems they are going to release sooner than expected.

Ryzen 9000X3D Coming This September

Our friends at Club386 have revealed the possible release dates for the AMD Ryzen 9000X3D series. The report reveals that they spoke to their sources in the recently concluded Computex 2024 event. This is the same event where AMD announced the Ryzen 9000 non-X3D CPUs.

The sources told them that AMD is going to launch Ryzen 90003XD CPUs in September this year itself. Starting with the AMD Ryzen 9950X3D and possibly even AMD Ryzen 9900X3D.

What’s important to see here is that the report uses the word launch, not announce. If AMD indeed releases the Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs in September itself, then it would be way earlier than expected.

For example, Ryzen 5800X3D came about 18 months after original Ryzen 5000. Whereas, Ryzen 7950X3D and Ryzen 7900X3D came about 6 months after the Ryzen 7000 series launch. So if Ryzen 9000X3D comes this September itself, this would be just 3 months after the Ryzen 9000 series CPU, which are coming this July.

This could mean that AMD is either not too confident in the Ryzen 9000 non-X3D series, or maybe it has managed to do something so great with X3D that it wants to release it early. Maybe it’s concerned about Intel Arrow Lake, which is expected to release in Q4 this year itself.

Interestingly, there’s no mention of the Ryzen 9800X3D CPUs in the report. It could release later, though. But it must be mentioned that while the Ryzen 7800X3D was announced together with other X3D CPUs, it launched about more than a month later than the other X3D CPUs like Ryzen 7950X3D and Ryzen 7900X3D.

Conclusion

In an interview to the PC Gamer, AMD revealed that are improving the X3D CPUs further. What and how much of improvements, it’s going to be known only later when they officially announce them.

When AMD actually releases or announces Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs, let’s wait for the official confirmation. But meanwhile expect some either announcement or launch in September though.
