This is something AMD is 'very actively working on...to satisfy the demands of gamers,' an AMD exec says at CES, though details are slim.

AMD may bring back some older products to allow users to dodge the worst of the RAM crisis. In a roundtable discussion that our sister site, Tom's Hardware, took part in, Ryzen chief David McAfee responded to a question about the difficulties facing PC builders in 2026.

In addition to updated Ryzen AI 300 series processors and the new Ryzen AI 400 series unveiled at CES 2026, the company brings a new desktop chip for gamers.

Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor kicks up the clocks and packs the same extra-fast cache in an effort to outpace the well-regarded Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

It's not the first Zen 5 X3D processor that AMD has released that's faster than the 9800X3D, though. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D has two core chiplets (CCDs), one with 3D V-cache, and one without. When it comes to boost clocks, the latter can hit 5.7 GHz, whereas the former topped out at 5.5 GHz in the tests I carried out in my review of the 9950X3D.
