AMD executive blames Intel’s “horrible” gaming CPU for 9800X3D stock issues
By Ben Stockton

Blame Intel for your AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D stock shortages. That’s according to AMD executives who, during a roundtable interview at the CES 2025 trade show this week, blamed Intel’s “horrible” next-gen gaming CPU launch for causing higher-than-expected demand for AMD’s own flagship CPU.
It’s been true to say that AMD has consistently produced the best gaming CPUs in recent years, with the 9800X3D now the current champion. The latest Intel effort to break the mold didn’t go exactly to plan, either, with Arrow Lake CPUs like the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K offering poor gaming performance on launch.
