AMD working on new X3D V-cache mobile chip for gaming laptops, leaker claims — Ryzen 7 9800HX3D could launch with 8 cores, 16 threads, and 96MB cache

AMD Ryzen Processor.

A new 3D V-Cache-equipped CPU is reportedly in the works and could arrive as a mobile counterpart to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. According to prominent tech industry insider Golden Pig Upgrade Pack on Weibo, the Ryzen 9 9800HX3D is expected to enter mass production in Q4 2026, with a potential launch at CES 2027. The chip is rumored to feature an 8-core, 16-thread configuration with boost clock speeds of up to 5.1 GHz, and 96MB of L3 cache.

It is also claimed that the processor was previously rumored to launch as the Ryzen 7 9755HX3D; however, it seems that the company might settle on the 9800HX3D. This essentially brings the branding in line with the desktop Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The chip could follow the same cache configuration with an eight-core CCD with 32MB of native L3 cache and a 64MB 3D V-cache stack.
