Summary
Tech giantAMDmay be working on the Ryzen 9000X3D lineup of gaming-focused processors, according to source code data from some new ASUS motherboard listings that have made the rounds on social media. However, neitherAMDnor ASUS have publicly confirmed any details concerning the Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs.
The news came as AMD launched the Ryzen 9000 series of CPUsfollowing some delays in manufacturing. According to AMD, errors in the printing process led to some units like the Ryzen 7 9700X being mislabeled as the “Ryzen 9 9700X” instead of the proper name. The mistake was documented on social media after the initial delay was confirmed, but AMD did not clarify if the printing mistake was the sole reason for the pushed-back release. However, the Ryzen 9000 series launched on August 8 and 15, with the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X arriving on August 8, and the Ryzen 9 9900X and 9950X arriving a week later.
Though all rumors must be taken with a fine pinch of salt, more AMD Ryzen X3D CPUs could be on the horizon for buyers to consider. According to the German siteComputerBase(translated byWccftech), the source code from an ASUS website dedicated to its X870 and X870E motherboard lineup listed AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs as compatible processors that the motherboard’s AM5 socket can utilize. Likethe Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 7800X3D, the apparent Ryzen 9000X3D processors would incorporate AMD’s patented 3D V-Cache technology to improve gaming performance. As for the motherboards, the ASUS X870E and X870 chipsets feature PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 support and also include compatibility with RyzenAI processors. Other chipsets like B850 and B840 were also identified in the ASUS motherboard website’s source code, but no further details were given.

The floor event will be held at Gamescom Hall 8 and will be broadcast on AMD’s Twitch channel. However, no further details about AMD product releases were confirmed.
Between the launch ofthe Ryzen 9000 seriesand the success of X3D processors, AMD is doubling down on CPU production. It remains to be seen what, if anything, AMD may reveal during Gamescom.
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D extends the lifespan of the AM4 platform through its 3D V-Cache technology that helps it perform equally well in games as the latest Ryzen 7000 CPUs. With 8 Cores/16 threads configuration, it is somewhat equivalent to the more expensive 5800X3D and is perfect for both gaming and CPU-intensive workloads
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core 16-Thread Processor
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D launched just over a year ago and still holds its own against AMD’s and Intel’s best-in-class CPUs when it comes to gaming. That alone speaks volumes about the PC gaming heavyweight processor that has simply refused to die versus subsequent iterations of Intel CPUs.
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is AMD’s latest and greatest CPU when it comes to gaming.
