Ryzen 9000X3D Processors to Address Major Shortcoming of their Predecessors
AMD's Ryzen processors with 3D V-Cache technology have faced criticism for their limited overclocking capabilities, a feature that has become a hallmark of "Team Red" hardware. However, the company is reportedly addressing this shortcoming with its upcoming releases.
According to Wccftech, a key feature of the Ryzen 9000X3D series will be full overclocking support, similar to the base models without the X3D suffix. The first generation of these processors lacked any overclocking capabilities, while the second generation introduced Precision Boost Overdrive. This technology allows for adjustments to the CPU's operating voltage but not its clock speed.
The Ryzen 9000X3D processors, as per the source, will be overclockable similarly to the base models in the series. Information about the maximum clock speed and potential limitations on chip performance during overclocking remains unavailable. Rumors suggest that the new processors will be released alongside the 800-series motherboards (X870E/X870) in late September, with the first reviews expected to surface around the same time.
