Alleged AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Announcement and Availability Dates Revealed
AMD is allegedly announcing its Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor on October 25, with availability in the first week of November 2024. This according to leaky taps among Chinese tech forums with a track record of getting such details right. We've been hearing about an October launch of the 9800X3D in late-September, which puts the announcement just a month after the 9800X3D's early launch first hit the radar. We've since seen a couple of performance or specs leaks, such as this one, which talks about a significant increase in clock speeds over past generations of X3D processors, this one which points to its Cinebench scores, and this one, which confirms a 5.20 GHz all-core boost frequency. Perhaps the biggest leak of them all, which is quasi-official, as it comes from a major PC hardware manufacturer, is this one, with some performance testing. When you cross-reference these numbers with Intel's first party gaming performance claims for its upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K "Arrow Lake-S" processor, you get the hint that AMD is set to win this round for gaming performance.

Marketing strategies:
1: Novelty low price to allow diffusion and youtubation influenced, charts, hipe, buy buy and buy again
2: Sales value decided by the the competitor, price increase in relation to the performance pumped up by the swollen wallets of social network children and how competitive it is, but let's be clear the battle is not between clock or FPS but instead between winning commercial agreements where wholesale sales beat retail sales 10kkk/1
3: Once the hill has been conquered, the cleaver starts and the famous phrase Do you want the best one around? Give me that money.
Do you really believe that they are finished or do not have free machines for production? The leaked news is not in the public domain, the mass imagines the child yelling at his mother "I want the new CPU" the mass goes to the store and the shopkeeper you know always sticks to you, the leftovers, but sold for new, fresh and super hiped I am reminded of season 6 third episode of Futurama what a beauty:respect:
I get that 7800X3D is still available in your backyard. But it's sold out in my country. Also sold out with many USA retailers, or sold at a higher price like Amazon.com @ $479 USD.
eBay listings of even open-box 7800X3D are selling around or even above MSRP in USA.
If the fact that a 22 month old CPU is INCREASING in price doesn't strike any concern in you... well, enjoy the inevitable sticker shock of the inbound 9800X3D. Unless AMD does something ballsy and tries to undercut Intel. From my perspective, it looks like AMD is killing off it's cheaper X3D options to force users to buy at a price they are inflating. Kudos to AMD for making more profit, sucks for anyone trying to buy X3D.
As consumers, theres absolutely no doubt we want cheaper solutions - thats a given! There was no suggestion made higher prices are acceptable. Personally I wouldn't touch the top-tier stuff unless reasonably priced. The problem with these tech companies is, when they finally craft a winning product in any given segment they will stage-manage and engineer pathways to profit from those who are willing to surrender their hard earned cash (or daddy's inheritance). If consumers fail to vote with their wallets (eg. Nvidia cards), then theres not much else we can do other then pick up the crumbs.
At one point, the 7800x3d was going for as low as $200. That was a crazy deal.
I don't think the 9800x3d will launch at more than $500, but it wouldn't shock me if it did. AMD is not shy about leaning hard on areas of advantage--between vanilla Zen 5's indifferent reception and Intel's humble projections for Arrow Lake, the 9800x3d looks to be the premiere CPU in the retail space for the foreseeable, and by quite a comfortable margin. It doesn't even have to improve much relative to its predecessor, because the predecessor won't be available.
Some are suggesting AMD is focusing more on EYPC data CPUs hence less cut for the desktop market which will evidently impact supply/price. They did make it official with announcing "data first company".
Some similar CPU's:
If your board supports it, that is.
5700X3D = €200
9800X3D + board + 32 GB = €700
5700X3D + 7900 XT - money from sold 7800 XT = €520
5700X3D + 7900 XTX - money from sold 7800 XT = €750
I paid a little over 600 and they are selling for 500.. beaver bucks.
