It is being rumoured that AMD is planning on announcing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D this month. More specifically, it plans to announce its latest 3D V-Cache-powered CPU on 25 October, just a day before Intel’s launch of its next-generation Core Ultra 200K Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs, while availability for the processor is allegedly set for 7 November.
The alleged information about the 9800X3D’s announcement date was first mentioned by prominent leakster HXL on X, while the supposed 7 November launch date was confirmed by another leakster, Hoang Anh Phu.

10.25: 9800X3D launch?

Over at Chiphell, a user by the name wjm47196, the 9800X3D would have a high frequency, with the ability to run at 5.2GHz on all cores but as these things usually go, that number isn’t set in stone. For comparison, the non-X3D 9700X, which runs on a 65W TDP by default, ships out with a 5.5GHz boost clock out of the box, making 5.2GHz on all cores highly possible.
The choice of date for its announcement is, for lack of better words, interesting and somewhat antagonistic. As mentioned, Intel is expected to launch their 15th generation Arrow Lake-S desktop processors the day before the red team’s supposed announcement. By all accounts, the choice of date feels provocative and seems like AMD is picking a fight with the blue chipmaker.

On a somewhat related note, there’s no word about the other two Zen5 X3D Ryzen CPUs, the 12-core 9900X3D and 16-core 9950X3D. At this point, it doesn’t appear likely that they’ll be launching simultaneously with the 9800X3D, which could be a lesson the red chipmaker is applying from the launch of the 7000X3D series – while it first launched the 7950X3D, it was the 7800X3D that proved to be more popular option, especially from a price-to-performance ratio.
