Quote:Gigabyte confirms Ryzen 9000X3D

Gigabyte has made a surprising announcement today, confirming the Ryzen 9000X3D series before AMD. 



The press release published today reveals Gigabyte’s new technology, called “X3D Turbo Mode”, available on AMD’s latest X870/X870E motherboards as well as existing 600-series boards. This mode is designed for Ryzen 7000 X3D and ‘Ryzen 9000 processors’.

It seems someone at Gigabyte was cautious not to mention X3D here, but surprisingly, the new series is mentioned directly in the very next paragraph. The picture associated with the press release only lists X870 AORUS Master and Ryzen 5 9600X non-X3D CPU.

Interestingly, although the new X3D Turbo mode is clearly designed with CPUs featuring 3D V-Cache in mind, it also provides a boost to non-X3D CPUs, which is quite surprising. We are talking about up to 35% increase for 9000X3D and up to 20% for non-X3D. 

The funny part is that the press release doesn’t actually explain what this mode does, other than introducing it as a ‘revolutionary BIOS feature’. The X3D Turbo Mode will be available through AGESA 1.2.0.2a and will work alongside the AORUS AI Snatch software.
