AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D Series Delayed Until January 2025

AMD's highly anticipated Ryzen 9000X3D series of processors with 3D V-Cache is now expected to launch in January 2025, slightly later than originally anticipated. The debut of these processors is set to take place at the CES event, signaling that AMD may be taking extra precautions to ensure a successful launch and deliver a high-performance product that meets the standards set by its previous 3D V-Cache offerings.

While this delay may disappoint eager enthusiasts, it could be a strategic move by AMD to avoid potential supply chain issues or to align the launch with other product announcements. The Ryzen 9000X3D series is expected to maintain the same cache size configurations as the previous generation with 3D V-Cache, serving as an upgrade to enhance the performance of the new Zen 5 design.

The launch of the 9000X3D series will follow a shorter six-month gap from the regular Ryzen 9000 series, in contrast to the previous Ryzen 7000X3D and 5000X3D series which were released seven and seventeen months after their regular SKUs, respectively.
