Asus has prematurely listed AMD’s Ryzen 9000X3D processors on its microsite for incoming 800 sequence motherboards, in what’s one other trace that next-gen 3D V-Cache CPUs could be right here prior to anticipated.
As VideoCardz seen, the positioning lists X870 (and X870E), B850 and B840 motherboards for Ryzen 9000 (second-gen AM5 boards nonetheless primarily based on the identical socket that was launched with Ryzen 7000).
Nevertheless, the telling bit right here is that the positioning mentions ‘Ryzen 9000X3D’ in quite a few locations, or it did anyway – that now not appears to be the case. That mentioned, Ryzen 9000X3D is even listed within the URL and that’s nonetheless current.
So, the speculation – and it’s stretching issues considerably, admittedly – is that AMD’s 800 sequence motherboards are positively happening sale quickly, presumably inside a matter of weeks, and so possibly, simply possibly, Ryzen 9000X3D is the same timeframe for arrival.
If that’s the case, that would critically intervene with Intel’s Arrow Lake launch, Crew Blue’s next-gen CPUs that are anticipated to debut on October 10 going by the newest chatter. Or at the least it’d pour some very chilly water on the probabilities of Arrow Lake grabbing the title of the quickest gaming processor, as 3D V-Cache CPUs are wonderful for PC video games due to that cache.
Evaluation: Backing up earlier hypothesis
All this may sound like a wild punt of a guess, nevertheless it’s not simply guesswork from out of nowhere, as there have beforehand been rumors that AMD may very well be taking pictures for a surprisingly early launch for X3D chips for the Zen 5 vary.
Sometimes, we’d anticipate these 3D V-Cache processors to pitch up early in 2025. Nevertheless, a previous rumor steered a September launch, alongside clues in AMD’s personal drivers – and this obvious slip-up from Asus backs all this as much as some extent. Or at the least it means that even when Ryzen 9000X3D chips will not be prepared subsequent month – which appears slightly unlikely at this level – they may nonetheless be inbound quickly sufficient.
VideoCardz additional factors out that there’s an AMD occasion on October 10 – funnily sufficient – nevertheless it appears unlikely that would come with an X3D launch, because it’s targeted on enterprise merchandise (together with Ryzen AI 300 Professional, and Epyc chips for servers). So, 3D V-Cache wouldn’t slot in there, nevertheless it’s solely potential Crew Purple may very well be planning a separate launch occasion for these X3D processors – they’re essential sufficient, in any case.
As ever with rumors, we’ll simply have to attend and see what occurs, nevertheless it’s an thrilling prospect {that a} Ryzen 9800X3D may very well be within the offing within the close to future (the opposite anticipated debut launches are the 9950X3D and 9900X3D). Given a number of the response to Ryzen 9000 normally – which has been a bit flat – it may even be argued that AMD must get these CPUs out sooner slightly than later, and as talked about, this may positively damage Intel’s probabilities on the gaming entrance.
