Earlier this weekend we were talking to you AMD’s change of plan for Ryzen 7000 X3D processors with the arrival of 3 references 8 12 and 16 cores. These references could be the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D and Ryzen 9 7950X3D. AMD plans to announce its latest next month during CES 2023 in early January.
The second generation V-Cache technology will offer a significant performance boost especially for games. The first generation, even launched confidentially, had received a favorable response, le 5800X3D being still these last days, a best seller in the component retail market. AMD has visibly changed its tune by preparing several Ryzen 7000 X3Ds while the current generation is struggling to seduce against Intel’s Alder Lake / Raptor Lake couple.
For this end of the year, the Ryzen 7000 range is heavily promoted with significant discounts that could prefigure a price adjustment in the range. It is in this context that a rumor has come to us in recent hours about the potential prices of the 3 future Ryzen 7000 X3Ds.
Ryzen 7800X3D, 7900X3D and 7950X3D: very aggressive prices?
According to leaker @All_The_Watts, the 3D V-Cache processors will cost the same price as their big brothers in the current range… The latter being repositioned downwards at the beginning of January. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D would be offered at 449 $the 7900X3D at 549 $ and the 7950X3D at 799 $. Under these conditions, these new Ryzen would become direct rivals to the Core i7-13700K, i9-13900K. Obviously, this rumor is to be taken with all the usual reservations. Indeed, X3D technology is particularly expensive to implement and it would be quite a surprise to find these CPUs at this price level… But after all, the period is conducive to the craziest wishes and desires…
