Good to see Intel starting to give them strong pressure to do more. Competition is always good.

How is the 9900X3D more potent? The 7900X3D literally the worst chip in the line-up. Sucks at both productivity and thrashed in gaming by the 7800X3D. Why would 9900X3D be more potent unless they add v-cache to both ccd's or make a new 9900X3D from 9950X3D with 2 cores disabled on non v-cache ccd.

This is the opposite of what happened last time, 7800X3D coming out over a month after 7950/7900X3D. Also, the random user is in contradiction to rumors that 9000X3D will feature "full" overclocking support.

AMD should not produce a 9900X3D at all.

Make a 9950X3D with both CCDs having V-Cache. Go ahead, raise the price.
Then 9800X3D.
Then introduce a 9600X3D earlier (they will never do it at the same time because its price/perf is too good).

9900X3D is too middling, a waste of good and "bad" chiplets better directed towards a 9950X3D*2 and 9600X3D.

Should this turn out to be accurate it seems mostly positioned to turn the page on the dreadful retail sales of the 9000 series. If they can ensure gaming leadership at the same time all the better.

I don't really see the point behind the 9900X3D being a thing either unless the clockspeeds are closer to non-X3D than the 7900X3D was. I doubt there's any reason to put the extra cache on both CCDs as cross CCD traffic is still heavily penalized and the extra cache is CCD specific.

meh I thought this chip wouldn't launch until January so I ordered a 7800x3d

You can enjoy your good performance, wash your hands of this generation, and wait for Zen 6.

"even the new vanilla Ryzen 9000 chips can’t beat the Ryzen 7000 X3D processors"

Sloppy writing. You missed the important part about that statement being true only in gaming scenarios, not productivity.

 

[Reality_checker]

Looks like Intel knows 9800X3D won't beat 285/265K so they canceled Arrow Lake Refresh. Meanwhile, AMD is rushing to get the 9800X3D out before Arrow Lake benchmarks.

Hm...

I wouldn't worry too much, whilst the 7800X3D is better than a 5800X3D, it wasn't too big of a generational performance leap, to the point where AM4 is being kept alive by the 5800X3D, as it's still great for gaming.

I imagine it will be the same case for the 9800X3D compared to the 7800X3D: better, but not by enough of a margin to convince people with a 7800X3D to upgrade (even though it's slightly different situation from the 5800X3D due to the 7800 and 9800 being on the same socket, so no need to change motherboard)

Real news please, not questionable rumours.

Not going to see V-cache on both CCD's.

The 5900X prototype that had it shows the gains are killed by Dual CCD traffic.

So unless they found a way to work around it i doubt we will see this.
