More Ryzen 7 9800X3Ds are sold than the entire 9000X range.
We're only talking about retail sales here, which doesn't include machines sold assembled or by major brands. Even so, AMD's results for its Ryzen 7 9800X3D are impressive. Launched last November, the chip features 3D Vertical Cache technology, which gives its name to the X3D "particle". This is a cache memory that supplements the one built into any processor. This additional cache boosts chip performance, making them virtually untouchable in all areas of video gaming, for example. In fact, since the release of the first X3Ds, these processors have always been of interest to gamers, but the 9800X3D is breaking records.
The news site VideoCardz relays figures from the German reseller MindFactory, which is very popular across the Rhine. It's just one dealer, but the results speak for themselves. Since the release of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, MindFactory has sold " over 8,650 units ". That's considerably less than its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D (78420 chips sold), but this one is much older. No, the important thing here is to compare sales of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with those of the other processors in the 9000 range, launched several months earlier.
Well, the maths is quickly done: while we were talking about " over 8650 units " sold for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, for the entire 9000X range, from the 9600X to the 9950X, we're talking about " over 4990 units ". The Ryzen 7 9700X does not fare too badly at " over 2,510 units ", but the other three references are well behind (890, 810 and 780, respectively for the 9600X, 9900X and 9950X). The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is therefore clearly THE processor of the moment, and this will no doubt not help the state of its stocks at retailers: ultra-demanded, supplies are particularly tight. The price of success.
