Question Will the 9950X3D come in January next year ?

[ridwan123]

Hello its been tired day since we see many new processor come out and i dont know is the 9950X3D will come out in january 2025.in the next year i have many options to upgrade and please help me choose the best for me .i only do gaming either 14900k ,9800x3d,or 9950x3d.but now i am on intel platform hmm.the sad thing is if many high tier processor come out next year like the9950X3D, Steam will overwrite more high requirements to the existing game.

Expect post-CES 2025 or late January, if everything runs without a hiccup on AMD's end.

If you can find one at regular price the 9800X3D is all you need for gaming.

Only a very small number of games are cpu bound and in most cases the ones that use a lot of cpu care more about the clock speed of a couple of cores rather than the total number of cores.

So far I have not seen much in rumors of if the 9950x3d is going to have the same issue as previous amd cpu that only have the cache on 1/2 the cores. This is very messy to get to work correctly since some application can use the 3d cache and other care more about the clock speed. Maybe they will sell a unit with cache on all the cores.

I am going to bet any raw performance gain will make very little difference in most games and I suspect even after the scalpers go away the premimum you pay for a 9950x3d over other x3d cpu will not be worth it.

Now if you do a lot of non gaming production type work the value of cpu with more cores might be worth it.

I suspect though you will wait at least 3 if not 6 months out before you can get cpu for list price. Microcenter would be your best option to try to get one for list price on day 1 but you will have to stand in line at store open to get one.

I got a rumor that 9950x3d has 2 ccd meaning they work less and i think it will not be worth it to buy that and especially if i change to amd cpu i need to change the motherboard too.i am a e sport player and only do little in adventure games like cyberpunk,usually i play cyberpunk before i sleep.now i got z790 gaming x ax and i think 6 ghz i9 14900k can complete my job or maybe ryzen 7 9800x3d which is more powerful that cost more with the mobo for future proof.machine cannot learn like human and they will stay the same until the end when we first bought it

Of course it will have 2 CCD the question is more does it have 3d cache on both and is the difference between the 2 ccd clock as great as it was on older generation of this chip.

The 14900k has exactly the same issue just a different variation. In this case you have the mix of P and E cores as well as having 2 P cores that run faster than the other P cores. It also has the issue of hyperthreads.

The issues of scheduling tasks to cores that are different make comparing test runs even between people with identical hardware tricky.
