AMD just leaked its own upcoming chip after the Ryzen 7 9850X3D showed up on its official support page. The processor packs eight cores with 96 megabytes of cache and hits 5.6 gigahertz, which beats the 9800X3D by 400 megahertz. Gamers who grabbed the current model might feel some regret since this thing should smoke it in performance.
The company keeps pushing its second-gen V-Cache tech across the whole Zen 5 lineup, and it apparently runs cooler while staying overclockable. Word is they might finally drop a proper dual-CCD X3D chip alongside this faster eight-core variant. Intel has some competing tech planned for Nova Lake with their big LLC stuff, but that launch is ages away compared to what AMD has cooking right here.
