AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D/7900X3D reviews go live on February 27th

AMD Ryzen 9 7000X3D reviews go up a day before launch

AMD Ryzen 7000X3D launching next week. 

The company is set to introduce its first Zen4 desktop processors with 3D V-Cache very soon. This technology adds an extra 64MB L3 cache to existing models. This cache is to provide a noticeable boost in gaming workloads that would allow AMD processors to better compete with the top Intel 13th Gen K-series models.

According to hardware leaker @momomo_us, AMD has set the 7000X3D review embargo date to lift February 27th. This means that those considering purchasing 7000X3D series will be able to read the reviews before they start shipping on the next day.

AMD Ryzen 7000X3D series launch will be split into two parts, with high-end Ryzen 9 models getting all the attention on February 28th. The company will launch its 16-core 7950X3D and 12-core 7900X3D models together, respectively at $699 and $599 price points with a cheaper 8-core 7800X3D model coming 5 weeks later (April 6th). This CPU will cost $449 which is the cheapest X3D models for this generation.

The company has thus far not confirmed any other models planned for this generation, but this is already 3 times as many as Zen3 models. The Ryzen 5000 series only featured one 8-core CPU called 5800X3D, and it is still one of best AM4 processors to buy for gaming.
