AMD’s high-performance Ryzen 9000 CPUs are here, but like most things, the spotlight is already shifting to what comes next. Well, it may just be the Ryzen 9000X3D processors with 3D V-Cache technology. These are expected to be the ultimate gaming CPUs. However, you won’t have to wait too long. Rumors suggest that AMD is targeting a September release for the 9000X3D lineup, coinciding with the launch of compatible X870E motherboards.
Latest rumors from Computex
According to Club386 reporting at Computex, this new series is coming in September. The initial release might include the top-of-the-line Ryzen 9 9950X3D and possibly the 9900X3D, mirroring past launches. These reports should be taken with a grain of salt, as AMD’s release dates can be fluid – as we’ve seen in the past. However, if the September timeframe holds true, it would be a significant improvement. Previously, there was a five-month gap between the Ryzen 7950X and the 7950X3D. This time, it would be just two months.
Specifications
The exact specifications of the Ryzen 9000X3D processors remain a mystery. Current X3D models, like the 5800X3D and 7950X3D, boast 64MB of 3D V-Cache stacked on top of their regular cache. This suggests the 9950X3D might have the same 128MB cache as its 7950X3D predecessor. But that’s not all. AMD is likely working on advancements beyond just adding the same cache to new chips. They might be optimizing how the Zen 5 architecture interacts with the 3D V-Cache or even increasing the cache size. We’ll have to wait for official announcements to know for sure.
So, AMD’s Ryzen 9000X3D processors are expected to arrive in September, potentially making them the best gaming CPUs on the market. While the exact specs are unknown, AMD might be refining the 3D V-Cache technology for even better performance. Stay tuned for further updates as we inch closer to the release date.
