AMD Ryzen 9000X3D Processors with 3D V-Cache Arrive in January at CES 2025
AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D series of processors with 3D V-Cache have been reportedly scheduled to arrive in January 2025 and should make a debut at the CES event, a few months later than initially expected. While disappointing for eager enthusiasts, the delay could signify that AMD is taking extra precautions to ensure a smooth launch and deliver a product that meets the high-performance standards set by its previous 3D V-Cache offerings. Delaying the new product launch could also be a strategic move by AMD to avoid potential supply chain issues or to align the launch with other product announcements.
We previously reported that the series will maintain the same cache size configurations as the last generation with 3D V-Cache, and it will just be an upgrade to up the performance of the new Zen 5 design. The launch of the 9000X3D series follows a smaller six-month gap from the regular Ryzen 9000 series, where the previous Ryzen 7000X3D and 5000X3D followed seven and seventeen months after the launch of their regular SKUs, respectively.

And if people can't be f'd waiting they will buy 7 series or 9 series. Win Win.
I think they are supposed to have a new V-Cache die this generation? Are there any further details yet?
AMD should rush the launch of the Ryzen 11000 generation, taking advantage of the crisis of Intel's current CPUs, to increase its sales.
What AMD needs to do is place the memory controller on the same die of the x86 cores to minimize RAM access latencies.
But I doubt playing with Windows scheduler and power states will help - unless they somehow nerf Ryzen 7000 CPUs. And ignore Intel altogether, just declaring it undesirable due to other factors than performance.
RAM access, on the other hand, is IF-bottlenecked which does cause problems. They may well end up doing something about it with Zen 6.
It probably would sell quite well
From a sales standpoint AMD is likely hoping to use holiday sales to draw down Zen 4 stock so that they can go all-in on Zen 5.
I also think the Infinity Fabric bottleneck is the biggest issue in Zen currently which they will be fixing with Zen 6.Agreed but gamers have one track minds and think people don't to anything else on a PC.
Far easier to build a half decent memory controller to begin with (well you'd think, but AMD has consistently managed to not do this).
