AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D chips have been delayed: Leak

According to leaks, the release of AMD's next X3D gaming CPU has been postponed to 2025, with its launch now expected at CES.

AMD's X3D processors with dedicated 3D V-Cache are very popular among PC gaming fans. In fact, one of these chips is our pick for the best gaming CPU.

With the launch of the latest Ryzen 9000 series, there was a lot of anticipation for the new version of the X3D. However, a new leak shows that PC makers will have to wait a little longer than expected.

Initial reports suggested that the Ryzen 9000X3D chips would launch sometime before the end of 2024. However, reliable hardware leaker HXL suggested on Twitter/X that the release had been pushed back to January 2025 and the launch was now expected at CES 2024.

This information was further confirmed by two other leakers, Yuri “1usmus,” a leaker known for his accurate information on Zen 5 chips, and Hassan Mujtaba of WCCFtech, who has a number of sources among AMD’s executive partners.

AMD has not yet confirmed a launch date for the Ryzen 9000X3D processor, but the agreement between reliable leakers is revealing.

Even with this potential delay, the gap between the release of the first Zen 5 chips and the X3D versions would be six months. This is less than the gap between the release of the 7700X and 7800X3D, which was seven months, and significantly less than the 17-month gap between the 5800X and 5800X3D.

The Ryzen 9000X3D is expected to be available in three SKUs, with the same cache size as previous models. The Zen 5 X3D chips will feature a few new features, including improved overclocking capabilities and improved support for DDR5 RAM.

AMD has also stated that the X3D variants will have some “cool differentiators” that will make them stand out from the crowd.
