Three leakers who have been reliable in the past have independently confirmed the date on which AMD will present the first X3D CPUs of the Ryzen 9000 generation.
Im Detail:
- CES 2025 will take place from January 7 to 10, 2025 in Las Vegas.
- AMD is expected to present at least three different CPUs from the 9000X3D series there.
HXL, known for leaks on hardware products, got the ball rolling on X. The not very cryptic Ryzen 9000X3D CES 2025?
Confirmations promptly followed from Wccftech’s Hassan Mutjaba and from user 1usmus, known for his analyses.

But be careful: Although three sources suggest the launch at CES 2025, this has not yet been confirmed by AMD.
If the date is correct, AMD would set a new record. The release of X3D CPUs has never been so close to the release of CPUs without the eponymous 3D V-Cache.
While AMD needed 17 months to make the jump from Ryzen 5800X to 5800X3D, the time period for Ryzen 7700X to 7800X3D was reduced to seven months:
| X-Processor | X3D processor | Period | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5000 | Ryzen 5800X / November 2020 | Ryzen 5800X3D April 2022 | 17 Fun |
| Ryzen 7000 | Ryzen 7700X / September 2022 | Ryzen 7800X3D / April 2023 | 7 Fun |
| Ryzen 9000 | Ryzen 9700X / July 2024 | Ryzen 9000X3D / January 2025 (?) | 6 Fun |
A publication in January would reduce the period to six months.
AMD released the first processors in the 9000 series just this month. You can find out more about them in our review of the Ryzen 9 9950X:
According to GameStar tech editor Nils, these are good processors, but they have to contend with the X3D competition from their own company.
The release of the first Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs could shift this even further in favor of the X3D processors.
However, the next X3D CPU is expected to arrive in early September. That is when AMD will officially introduce the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D processor.
Have you already had your eye on the new X3D processors from AMD? Are you perhaps already planning to buy a PC with them or build one yourself? Feel free to write us a comment.
