AMD says Intel's 'horrible product' is causing Ryzen 9 9800X3D shortages


Team Blue in the rearview.

We asked the company for details about continuing shortages of its flagship gaming-optimized Ryzen 9 9800X3D, currently the uncontested best CPU for gaming, and when we can expect the supply to improve. We found the patch does nothing to help (at least on two motherboards) and that the newer Windows revision required for the fix has benefited competing processors more, thus making Intel's Arrow Lake competitive positioning even worse than at launch. "We have been ramping our manufacturing capacity, or the monthly, quarterly output of X3D parts, period, and that's 7000 [series] as well as 9000X3D," said AMD executive David McAfee.
