AMD Ryzen 7000X3D launches in February | 16-core 7950X3D, 12-core 7900X3D, 8-core 7800X3D
Leaked [unconfirmed] prices:
Ryzen 7 7800X3D – $509
Ryzen 9 7900X3D – $649
Ryzen 9 7950X3D – $799
During the presentation Lisa Su said the average performance increase for the 7800X3D in games vs 5800X3D is 15%, so it'll be around 10% faster than the intel 13th gen.... and for those of you who play sim games, you'll know that will be actually a lot higher, maybe 30-50% in some cases. For example the 5800X3D is faster than the 13900K in microsoft flight simulator by around 15%, so the 7800X3D should be faster by around 30-35%.
Gonna be a really nice upgrade for those of you who have a 4090.
Oh, also there's speculation that the 12 and 16 core variants only have 1 CCD with stacked cache and the other CCD will be normal, which is how they get the high boost clocks. That's actually really nice as that means that games that don't benefit from the extra cache will instead benefit from the higher boost clocks, which solves both of the main weaknesses of the 5800X3D - namely that it costs frequency and hence lowers your multithreaded compute power, and it is a little weaker in games that favor high clock frequencies.
AMD announces its upgraded Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs
Today AMD unveils its plans for Ryzen 7000 CPU series featuring brand new 7000 non-X and X3D series.
AMD Ryzen 7000 series will be updated with 6 new CPUs. The company’s CEO Dr. Lisa Su confirmed today that Ryzen 7000 non-X will include Ryzen 9 7900 12-core CPU, Ryzen 7 7700 8-core CPU and Ryzen 5 7600 with 6 cores. All three are 65W SKUs, and they are targeting lower price points than existing X-series models, respectively at $429, $329 and $229.
More importantly, AMD is delivering a highly anticipated update to its X3D family, thus far only with one member (5800X3D). The Zen4 product family led by Ryzen 9 7950X3D will feature up to 16 cores and 144MB of cache. This CPU will have 5.7 GHz boost, so just the same max clock as existing Ryzen 9 7950X CPU, however the TDP has been reduced by 50W to just 120W.

The 7950X3D is not the only CPU being announced today. AMD is also confirming that Ryzen 9 7900X3D with 12 cores will also be available. This CPU will have 5.6 GHz boost and 140MB of total cache.
Last but not least, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D with 8 cores will feature 104MB of cache, 5.0 GHz boost clock and TDP at 120W, so in this case it will be higher than Ryzen 7 7700X (105W). AMD is claiming 21% to 30% higher performance at 1080p with high quality preset in popular esports games:

AMD provided a benchmark at CES 2023 keynote featuring the 7950X3D vs. Core i9-13900K. Do note that AMD made a mistake by naming it Ryzen 7 instead of Ryzen 9. According to AMD, the 7950X3D should be 9% to 24% faster in gaming.
AMD confirms that Ryzen 7000X3D will be available in February, without stating any specific dates or pricing information.
