AMD Accuse Intel, Blaming Them For The Shortage of Ryzen 9800X3D

Expert Verified By

"We were unaware the rival had built such a terrible product."

Story Highlight
  • The AMD 9800X3D has exceeded expectations, leading to high demand and stock shortages.
  • AMD claims that the poor performance of Intel’s Arrow Lake CPUs has contributed to the increased demand for the X3D series.
  • Despite efforts to increase output, AMD is still struggling to meet demand due to manufacturing delays.

AMD’s 9800X3D not only destroyed the competition but also nearly disappeared from shelves since launch. AMD execs claim that the “horrible” Arrow Lake CPUs from Intel are the unanticipated cause of the shortage.

Although that is a bold claim, AMD deserves credit for having the performance and sales figures to support it. Regarding gaming performance, Intel’s new Arrow Lake chips were a complete failure.

Why it matters: The high demand for the Ryzen 9800X3D points towards AMD’s growing dominance in the CPU market, despite production challenges.

According to PC World, Frank Azor, AMD’s chief architect of gaming solutions, and David McAfee, the company’s corporate vice president, recently answered reporters’ questions about the Ryzen 9800X3D’s high demand and production difficulties.

Azor stated,

We knew we built a great part… We were unaware the rival had built such a terrible one.

-Frank Azor

As a result, demand has been somewhat higher than anticipated. 

McAfee emphasized the production issues due to its enormous success and lack of availability on retail shelves, saying:  “All I can say is that we have been increasing the amount of X3D parts we can produce on a monthly and quarterly basis. That is both 7000X3D and 9000X3D series and we have grown far more than we had anticipated.”

Although AMD knew they had a great product, they didn’t anticipate the level of competition would be so low, which is why so many people chose AMD.  

The manufacturing process is still a bottleneck, even with increased production. It takes about 12 weeks from wafer fabrication to the final product, and AMD is struggling to meet demand.
