Summary

  • AMD has announced it will release two processors classed as X3D next week.
  • The Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D will cost 699, respectively, when they launch on March 12.
  • This is the recommended retail price, but the chips have actually been appearing on the esteemed selling website, Newegg, for 700, respectively.
  • This suggests that the listing is more of a sale rather than an inflated price due to high demand and low supply.
  • This theory is reinforced by the fact that AMD advises the chips are aimed at streamers and people whose gaming PCs perform heavy-duty non-gaming work.
  • This would imply that the chips are aimed at a niche market rather than people who just want a chipset for a gaming PC.
