The video of the autopsy “, filmed by someone whose username on Bilibili translates to “all nonsense,” shows the 9800X3D’s heat spreader removed using a blowtorch. AMD uses solder to connect the CPU to the heat spreader, which only melts at very high temperatures, hence the need for a blowtorch to remove it.

Rumors suggest AMD is planning a new Threadripper CPU with the 3D V-Cache technology that's helped it dominate the high-end gaming market.

AMD has dominated PC gaming CPU performance for more than two years. Its X3D chips have provided a boost that Intel has been unable to match, and its new $479 Ryzen 7 9800X3D goes a step further to not only improve gaming performance but also day-to-day tasks and creative workloads.

The expected successor to the Ryzen 9 7950X3D has been spotted for the first time, hinting the new flagship AMD gaming CPU is coming soon.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the first X3D CPU in the latest Ryzen 9000 series to break cover and will go on sale starting November 7.

Good luck getting your hands on the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU — it’s sold out everywhere and scalpers are jacking prices up.

As it turns out, AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a smash hit right out of the gate, and nearly every major US retailer that sells it — including Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, and Micro Center — is out of stock one day after the CPU’s launch.
