Fresh evidence of AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU has been found in an NBD shipping manifest. This afternoon, Olrak29 shared another block of information: part number (DVTP/N) 100-1000001973-00 and a TDP rating of 120 W. Late last month, they spotted Team Red's "official" publication of placeholder material —indicating the new 3D V-Cache-augmented "Granite Ridge" product's boost capability (up to 5.6 GHz) and a 120 W power envelope.

Since then, AMD's French website no longer displays this information. Returning to aforementioned shipment documentation (dated October 18), the much-leaked 8-core Ryzen 7 9850X3D SKU shares many credentials (including a 120 W TDP) with the reigning gaming CPU champion: 9800X3D . To no surprise, the new contender is expected to do slightly better in benchmarks, thanks to a +400 MHz advantage. In theory, higher-binned dies have been deemed worthy of an elevated (+50) moniker. The next "Granite Ridge" Zen 5-based flagship—16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 SKU—has turned up in parallel leaks. Speculated timelines could lead to both models receiving a proper introduction at CES 2026, followed by a potential mid-January launch at retail outlets.
