AMD’s Chinese office has begun sending out invitations to the media and technical bloggers for the presentation of the new Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming processor based on Zen 5 architecture, equipped with additional 3D V-Cache memory. This was reported by the TechPowerUp portal with reference to one of the users of the social network X, who had one of these invitations at his disposal.

The event where AMD will unveil the Ryzen 7 9800X3D will take place in Macau. It will be held on October 23 and 24. This could mean that the company plans to set up a demo area where visitors can test the new chip in popular games. It is possible that AMD will hold an online presentation of the new processor to the rest of the world around the same time.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to strengthen AMD’s leadership in the gaming performance segment. Internal gaming tests of the new flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 285K (Arrow Lake-S) processor show that the new chip is slower in some games than its predecessor Core i9-14900K, which is inferior to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. It is expected that the new Ryzen 7 9800X3D will further increase the gap in gaming performance against its competitor – if not due to an increase in IPC (the number of instructions executed per clock), then at least due to the ability to operate at a frequency of 5.2 GHz on all cores, as shown earlier leaks.
According to rumors, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D may go on sale in the first week of November.
