Technically, AMD has already moved on to the AMD ZEN 5 series of processor chips, which consists of the AMD Ryzen 9000 series of processor chips, but recently several reports have shown that they will launch two more new CPUs under the Ryzen X3D model.
These two CPUs are the AMD Ryzen 9 9950 X3D2 and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D, which are CPUs that show a focus on gaming. One can be seen as the most powerful gaming CPU on the market, and the other is a gaming CPU that will probably come at an affordable price.
Starting with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950 X3D2, this processor chip comes with specifications that are almost similar to the AMD Ryzen 9 9950 X3D, including 16 physical cores, 32 power threads and a base speed of 3.4GHz. The Boost Clock speed of this processor chip is said to be at 5.6GHz, 100MHz lower than the 5.7GHz of the previous chip, but will come with 192MB of L3 cache, much higher than what is offered on the 9950 X3D model, which is 128MB.
The total TDP or power consumption of this processor chip is also reported to increase from 170W to 200W. This is not a huge increase for a CPU of this type, but it is expected to help improve performance in various types of productivity applications and not just gaming.
Moving on to the AMD Ryzen 5 7500 X3D, this processor chip comes with 6 physical cores and 12 power threads using the last generation ZEN 4 chip cores and is expected to come with 96MB of L3 cache and a TDP value of 65W. This is expected to make this processor chip suitable for building a small-sized desktop gaming computer or a living room computer.
Not many official details are currently known about these CPUs, but the expectation of many reports and information leaks is that AMD is expected to introduce them soon, but they will only be sold in the first quarter of 2026.
