You reportedly can't overclock the successor to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but the new chip is apparently coming before the 9900X3D and 9950X3D.

New motherboards supporting AMD's X870 and X870E chipset are now available, launching first on Newegg. All boards support the new AMD Ryzen 9000 Series desktop processors with the AM5 socket. The new chipsets introduce USB 4.0 ports as standard, alongside DDR5-8000 memory and PCIe 5.0 for expansion cards and storage.

With the launch of the new X870 motherboards, AMD is also releasing the new AGESA PI 1.2.0.2 BIOS to improve Ryzen 9000 Series performance.

AMD is releasing new BIOS updates that will boost performance for its Ryzen 9600X / 9700X processors and address some latency issues. The performance improvements and latency reductions arrive around a month after disappointing Zen 5 desktop CPU reviews and appear alongside updates to Windows 11 that include optimized AMD-specific branch prediction for both Zen 4 and Zen 5 chips.

Introduction It hasn’t been long since AMD launched the AMD Ryzen 9000 series (Zen 5) CPUs on August 7th, 2024, and August 14th, 2024. To say the launch came with mixed results is an understatement. What felt like Zen 1 days,

Though highly anticipated, AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series of desktop processors arrived with a bit of a thud earlier this year. Since then, the company has been in damage control, blaming the initial poor performance delta on some of its own faulty testing methodology while offering a series of fixes.

It's raised TDP for two CPUs, reduced core-to-core latency for the dual-chiplet CPUs, and optimizations are built into Windows now.
