AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D reveal rumored for October 25, the day after Intel launches Arrow Lake CPUs

AMD is rumored to be launching its new Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor on October 25, the day after Intel unleashes its new Core Ultra 200K series "Arrow Lake-S" desktop CPUs.

According to new information from HXL and wjm47196, a known Chiphell leaker, both expect to see AMD unveil its Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor -- 8 cores, 16 threads of Zen 5 power with next-gen 3D V-Cache -- on October 25, the day after Intel's new flagship Core Ultra 9 285K is released.

AMD's new Ryzen 7 9800X3D won't be available on October 25 but rather just unveiled, with an early (first week) launch in November. Another leaker has said that November 7 could be the day that the 9800X3D hits the market, which is a couple of weeks from its announcement.
