AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D to Be Unveiled October 25, Following Intel's Arrow Lake Launch

AMD's new Zen 5 processor with 3D V-Cache technology is set to debut amid rising competition and high pricing expectations.

AMD plans to unveil the Ryzen 7 9800X3D on October 25, a day after Intel launches its Core Ultra 200K series 'Arrow Lake-S' CPUs.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D will feature 8 cores, 16 threads, and an all-core boost clock up to 5.2 GHz, showcasing significant improvements over its predecessor.
Retail availability for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected in early November, possibly as soon as November 7.
Pricing for the new processor is speculated to be around $499, higher than the previous Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which retailed at $449.
Despite the anticipated performance enhancements, the high price point may deter some users, especially given the minor performance gains over last-gen models.
