News AMD rumored to launch the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D alongside RDNA 4 GPUs in late March

AMD be like: why give them just one piece of disappointment, let's give them two!

Cynicism aside, I just hope all the scheduling shenanigans are a thing of the past with these new X3D's. You solve that, then it's a good time for me as I want one of these. I'm still profoundly hurt there's no dual VCache'd AM5 sibling, but it is what it is.

Regards.

Exactly! I have the 7950X and can't say its not performing in games but it also dont impress in my day to day work. Its fast and all but i feel there is something strange about it. I think its the cache part that time to time it gets to warm and fans go all in and then it goes quiet and i get some delays time to time. i got 64GB Ram + 4090 and all highend parts.
I actually went and got an 9950X. In game framerate went down but in total i'm more happy with it. The performance i feel is better and i don't get the issues with X3D.
I will not get any X3D until they solve what you mention. Plus having 400 FPS or 250FPS don't matter much for me on a 144Hz monitor 😀
 
with the flagship RX 9070 XT allegedly trading blows with Nvidia's RTX 4080 Super.
Our testing suggests a 10% performance gap between the elusive RTX 5080 and RTX 4080 Super.
While this is purely speculative, the RX 9070 XT is projected to be within 15-20% of the RTX 5080
If the 9070 is equivalent to a 4080 Super, and the 5080 is 10% faster than the 4080 Super, why would the 9070 be 20% slower than the 5080? Shouldn't it be 10%? I know it is just speculation, but the numbers are not matching up.

Maybe they encountered supply issues like Nvidia and decided to launch when a reasonable number of units was available.
