The first AMD Ryzen 9000 3D V-Cache CPU reportedly launching in November

AMD seems to be doing things differently with the upcoming Ryzen X3D series. In addition to reports claiming that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will be the first CPU of the series, there are also rumours that a Ryzen 5 9600X3D is already planned.

Hoang Anh Phu claims that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will be available in early November, and that AMD has a 6-core Ryzen 5 X3D variant on the way too.

With the recent launch of Zen 3-based 5600X3D and Zen 4-based 7600X3D models, it's no surprise that AMD is expanding the X3D series. The rumoured Ryzen 5 9600X3D is expected to be the fourth and potentially the most affordable CPU in the upcoming lineup, featuring 64MB of 3D V-Cache on top of the Ryzen 5 9600X cache configuration. That would put the upcoming 6-core X3D chip with 102.5 MB of cache (L1 + L2 + L3 + 3D V-Cache).

However, a potential hurdle for the 6-core model is AMD's historical reluctance to release it across all regions and retailers. Previous-generation versions had limited availability, but with the release of the 9600X3D seemingly coming around quicker then prior generations, we hope to also see a wider release.

KitGuru says: Would you be tempted to upgrade to a Ryzen 9000 X3D CPU once they land? Do you think they'll be ready for launch as soon as November?
