Somebody goofed — and now AMD’s unannounced Ryzen 9000X3D desktop processors have been partially revealed. But like Intel’s new Arrow Lake desktop CPUs, it doesn’t look like they’ll be a huge performance improvement on their predecessors. If so, that’s a shame given how poorly received AMD’s Ryzen 9000 was to begin with.

Two new leaks from posts at Bilibili and Chiphell (as found by @9950pro) reveal possible specifications of AMD's forthcoming eight-core Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with 3D V-Cache as well as its launch timeframe.

While not yet released, a benchmark leak suggests the upcoming Ryzen 7 9800X3D will have a big clock speed advantage over its non-X3D counterpart.

Intel even says AMD's 7800X3D will be slightly faster in gaming than its own just-announced Core Ultra 200 series.
