According to HXL, citing Chinese media, the official review embargo for Ryzen 7 9800X3D is set for November 6th, while the official availability date and launch is November 7th. AMD has yet to confirm which SKUs will launch on November 7th, and so far, only the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is confirmed. In case you missed it, rumors also point to the 6-core 9600X3D, or the rumored 12-core 9900X3D and the 16-core 9950X3D.

9800X3D Review：November 6 22:00 CST

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is an 8-core/16-thread SKU with a 4.7GHz base and a 5.2GHz Boost clock. It packs 32MB of L3 cache with 64MB of 3D V-Cache and has a 120W TDP. It will also feature the "2nd Generation 3D V-Cache Technology" and we have yet to see how this will impact performance. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D has already been listed in Europe at around €550 inc. VAT, and some earlier performance numbers show it being around 8 percent faster in gaming and 15 percent faster in multi-threaded apps compared to the 7800X3D.

With reviews going live just a day before availability, it will be interesting to see how well it sells on pre-orders and on launch day.
