A new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU has reportedly failed for a user, showing burn marks similar to issues seen with the previous 7800X3D model. This raises concerns among enthusiasts about potential recurring problems with AMD's X3D series.

It has quickly become popular among gamers, leading to high demand and limited availability.
