AMD's rumored Ryzen 7 9850X3D spotted at Swiss and U.S. retailers — listings reveal preliminary price of ~$550-600, significantly higher than 9800X3D's $449 MSRP

AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 9850X3D has been spotted at retailers in the U.S. and Switzerland, with a preliminary price range of $550-600, significantly higher than the 9800X3D's $449 MSRP. The 9850X3D is expected to offer slightly higher clock speeds, with rumors suggesting a max of 5.6 GHz compared to the 9800X3D's 5.2 GHz. The new CPU is likely to maintain the same 8-core/16-thread design, 96 MB of L3 cache with 3D V-Cache, and a 120W TDP. Pricing discrepancies between the two listings hint that the figures may not be accurate, and official details may be revealed at CES 2026.
