The anticipation for Ryzen 9000X3D processors is reaching fever pitch, and a recent slip-up by GIGABYTE might just have confirmed their imminent arrival. The leak, uncovered by VideoCardz, appears in a GIGABYTE press release announcing their new ‘X3D Turbo Mode.’ This new feature, described as a ‘revolutionary BIOS feature designed to maximize gaming performance,’ is explicitly stated to be supported by both the Ryzen 7000 X3D and Ryzen 9000 series processors.
This revelation is interesting on multiple levels. Firstly, it confirms that the X3D Turbo Mode will benefit even standard Ryzen 9000 chips, delivering up to a 20% performance boost in PC games. However, the real headline-grabbing news is the 35% performance boost promised for Ryzen 9000X3D processors, with GIGABYTE explicitly mentioning the new CPUs in their press release.
While GIGABYTE likely intended to keep the existence of Ryzen 9000X3D processors under wraps for a little longer, the accidental inclusion of this detail has sparked a frenzy of excitement within the tech community. The announcement strengthens the rumors of a launch next week, which is likely timed with the release of the AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2a BIOS update, also mentioned in the press release.
Sadly, the details surrounding the X3D Turbo Mode remain shrouded in mystery. GIGABYTE has not yet disclosed the precise mechanics of the feature or how it achieves these significant performance gains. However, the fact that it’s described as a ‘motherboard magic’ solution suggests it may involve a combination of hardware and software optimizations designed to specifically benefit Ryzen 9000X3D processors.
The potential for a 35% performance leap for Ryzen 9000X3D processors is a game-changer for gamers. This, coupled with the confirmation that standard Ryzen 9000 chips also get a significant boost, suggests that AMD is poised to dominate the high-performance gaming market in the coming months. With the release of Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs potentially just a week away, the countdown to a new era of gaming performance is officially on.
