AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D CPUs rumored to be imminent, arriving March 12

AMD's next 3D V-Cache Zen 5 processors, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D, are purportedly set to arrive on March 12.

VideoCardz provided the scoop with this one, and apparently the info comes directly from AMD over in China.

The tech site has published some presentation slides for these top-end Ryzen 9 X3D models which carry the March 12 launch date, but we can't know for sure if this material is genuine (though it looks authentic enough).

So, don't take this info for granted, by any means, but it looks like the Ryzen 9950X3D and 9900X3D are almost with us. Indeed, if the date is correct, these chips are set to debut within a week, and the key question remains pricing.

As VideoCardz points out, the price tag for the Ryzen 9950X3D has previously been rumored to be $699 and the Ryzen 9900X3D is expected to weigh in at $599.

Those price points were previously aired by Newegg, and clearly require heavy seasoning, though they are backed up by fresh pricing clues spotted at JD.com for these Ryzen CPUs in China.

As highlighted by HXL on X - see the post at the top of this article - these prices in RMB roughly correspond to the Newegg leak.

It is, of course, a sure bet that the Ryzen 9 3D V-Cache models won't be remotely affordable at launch, especially seeing as AMD hiked the price of the 9800X3D a bit compared to its predecessor.
