Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor kicks up the clocks and packs the same extra-fast cache in an effort to outpace the well-regarded Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

The new processor is a souped-up version of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It's called the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, and although it shares the same architecture and central specs as the ori

AMD shows off its world-first 2nm EPYC 'Venice' CPU with Zen 6 cores, and the Instinct MI455X AI accelerator for its Helios AI racks.

In addition to updated Ryzen AI 300 series processors and the new Ryzen AI 400 series unveiled at CES 2026, the company brings a new desktop chip for gamers.

At a high level, this feels like AMD borrowing a page directly from Intel's recent playbook. With the gaming performance crown firmly in hand, the company

AMD reveals the Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor, which offers some higher speeds than the 9800X3D CPU and supports current motherboards.

It's not the first Zen 5 X3D processor that AMD has released that's faster than the 9800X3D, though. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D has two core chiplets (CCDs), one with 3D V-cache, and one without. When it comes to boost clocks, the latter can hit 5.7 GHz, whereas the former topped out at 5.5 GHz in the tests I carried out in my review of the 9950X3D.

The AMD keynote will be presented by CEO Lisa Su. We expect to hear about a lot of AI developments -- and maybe some new silicon, too.
