In a new report from French outlet Cowcotland, the site reports from their sources that AMD's new Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D processors will be launching by the end of March. Not only that, but it seems AMD will be lining up the launch of its new X3D processors with its new RDNA 4-powered Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards.

Cowcotland reported: "Regarding pricing, we have no information. However, our sources indicate that AMD's two new X3D models are expected to arrive by the end of March, around the same time as the new Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT".

AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X3D will feature 16 cores and 32 threads of Zen 5 processing power with 144MB of cache in total (L2 + L3 + 3D V-Cache). The Ryzen 9 9900X3D will pack 12 cores and 24 threads of CPU power with 140MB of cache in total. In comparison, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D features 8 cores and 16 threads with 104MB of cache in total.
