The Ryzen 9800X3D and 9950X3D are burning out in alarming numbers, and motherboard firmware could be the root cause.

Aside from the 9955HX3D, AMD has also announced a couple of non-X3D parts in the form of 16 core 9955HX and 12 core 9850HX. Since these do not have the 3D V-cache ... we have Ryzen 5 240, 230 ...

TL;DR: AMD is developing the Gorgon Point APU series, featuring Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5, set for release in 2026. The flagship Ryzen AI 9 variant will have 12 cores, 24 threads, and 16 CUs of RDNA 3.5 GPU.
