While we expected some announcements this week, it stays quiet at AMD. The release of AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D processors is now anticipated at CES 2025, potentially delaying the launch initially expected in October alongside the 800-series motherboards. The company has reportedly informed motherboard manufacturers of this revised timeline, indicating that the processors will be unveiled at the major tech event in January.
This delay extends the wait for those interested in the Ryzen 9000X3D specifications. The postponement may also provide users additional time to transition to the recently launched Ryzen 9000 processors. These processors have faced some criticism for not delivering a significant performance improvement. Speculation about the imminent release of the Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs increased after ASUS announced its X870 and X870E motherboards. However, these expectations have now been adjusted with the latest reports. In the meantime, AMD is developing two new CPUs with 3D V-Cache technology for the AM4 and AM5 platforms. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D and Ryzen 5 7600X3D.
