AMD’s premier Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D processors are anticipated to deliver gaming performance comparable to that of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, renowned as one of the top gaming CPUs available. AMD’s Manager of Product and Business Development, Martijn Boonstra, informed VideoGamer that these two processors will “offer similar overall gaming efficiency to the 9800X3D.”
“Certain games may perform slightly better, while others may perform a bit worse,” Boonstra added, “but overall, the experience remains on par.” The former could be particularly evident in titles that take advantage of more cores and threads, especially with the Ryzen 9 9900X3D boasting 12 cores and the Ryzen 9 9950X3D featuring an impressive 16 cores in contrast to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s eight cores. Nonetheless, this is uncommon, as very few games utilize more than eight cores. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D still retains an advantage in games optimized for eight cores since all operations occur on a single CCD.
In its announcement, AMD asserts that the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D will surpass Intel’s recent top offerings, especially when utilized with productivity and content creation applications. It claims that the Ryzen 9 9950X3D performs around 10% better using multi-threaded creative software like Photoshop compared to the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. Thus, AMD is likely to target the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D towards professionals and creators who are also gamers, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D appeals to the broader gamer enthusiast demographic.
Regrettably, AMD has yet to disclose the pricing details for these processors, although we anticipate their release in January. Looking at historical pricing, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D was launched at $449, while the Ryzen 9 7900X3D debuted at $599, and the Ryzen 9 7950X3 was priced at $699. The initial price for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D stands at $479, which is $30 more than its forerunner. If AMD maintains its pricing strategy, we could see the Ryzen 9 9900X3D priced around $629, and the Ryzen 9 9950X3D at approximately $729. However, AMD indicates that it will unveil actual pricing closer to the launch date, so we must remain patient regarding that.
Despite the fact that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been available for several months, locating it remains quite difficult, even if you are aware of where to purchase it. We hope that the introduction of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D will alleviate some of this pressure, enabling gamers and enthusiasts to acquire these chips much more swiftly. For now, all we can do is wait and remain vigilant against fraudulent 9800X3D listings and counterfeit 9800X3D processors to avoid being scammed.
