AMD website update suggests Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs will support overclocking

AMD's product pages for the upcoming Ryzen 7000X3D processors haven't been entirely accurate in the lead-up to launch. Previously, a page was updated to show a February 14th launch date, but this was later removed. Now, the product page has been updated again, this time with mention of unlocked overclocking. 

As spotted by HXL, the official product pages for the upcoming Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3d and Ryzen 9 7950X3D list the three processors as being “unlocked for overclocking”. In other words, like the Ryzen 7000 desktop series chips, this information suggests the new 3D V-Cache processors will have an unlocked multiplier, allowing you to push speeds beyond what is listed on the box.

Up to now, AMD has only mentioned that these chips would support Curve Optimizer and PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive), two features the Ryzen 7 5800X3D didn't have. However, the company has never stated you would be free to push the Ryzen 7000X3D without using any of AMD's technologies.

The AMD Ryzen 7000X3D series is expected to release sometime in February, but pricing and retail availability dates have yet to be announced.
