Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D hit retail on March 12, according to official AMD outlet in China
New listings at AMD's official JD.com store suggest the retail embargo for its Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D processors will lift on March 12 (via ITHome). JD.com, alternatively known as Jingdong, is an online e-commerce company that is ranked as China's largest B2C retailer by revenue. Courtesy of HXL, AMD has priced these CPUs at $770 and $630, respectively, reflecting a moderate increase over their predecessors, at least in the Chinese market. Note that (pre-sale) listings in China are not wholly indicative of global pricing and availability.
AMD announced high-core count Ryzen 9000X3D offerings at CES, promising retail availability by Q1 2025. Without discussing pricing, it showcased how these CPUs stack up versus their Zen 4 counterparts and Intel's troubled Arrow Lake processors, claiming 20% higher FPS on average versus the Core Ultra 9 285K.
Ryzen 9000X3D processors leverage AMD's 2nd generation V-Cache technology, with the SRAM packaged beneath the CCD. Dual-CCD models like the 9950X3D and 9900X3D still have V-Cache implemented on only one of the CCDs, so the total cache count remains unchanged.
Last month, a reliable leaker from China alleged the review embargo for the 9950X3D ends March 11th, which lines up with what we're seeing today at AMD's JD store. As for pricing, HXL used a special plugin designed for JD.com which allowed them to view prices across different regions. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D are listed at 5599 RMB ($770) and 4599 RMB ($630), representing a 5% and 2% higher price versus the launch prices (in China) for the last-gen 7950X3D and 7900X3D.
Keep in mind that China generally imposes a 13% VAT (Value Added Tax), so the expected global prices drop to $670 and $550 for both CPUs before tax, but that's no more than a guess. Earlier in February, data scrapers revealed potential $699 and $599 price-tags from Newegg. So which one is it? The latest information suggests a $50 drop in MSRP over Ryzen 7000X3D, which seems unlikely since Arrow Lake's gaming performance has been weaker than anticipated. It's hard to conclude as these prices are based on pre-sale listings so it's best to wait for an official statement.
Even though AMD says the 9950X3D and 9900X3D can deliver comparable gaming performance to the 9800X3D, the latter will inevitably hold an advantage in certain titles. The high core count models are more geared towards productivity, so customers will have a wide array of CPUs to choose from, depending on their needs. All that's left is an announcement from AMD where we expect further details on pricing and availability.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:) is one of the . On July 30, Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland raised the price target on the stock to $210 from $135 and kept a 'Positive' rating on the shares. After previewing Q2 results, the analysts anticipate generally in-line to slightly better results on the back of stronger PC sales. This is because Intel acknowledged that tariff-related pull-ins continued in 2Q. The firm has also highlighted that AMD boasts server business strength. It has been gaining market share in EPYC data center CPUs. A major factor behind the upgraded outlook on AMD is that the government announced in July that it would review and likely renew AMD's license application for exporting MI308 AI chips to China. A close up of a complex looking PCB board with several intergrated semiconductor parts. Provided this occurs, it would help in reversing the previously anticipated $1.5 billion negative revenue impact from China restrictions. As of now, the firm expects AMD to recover an estimated $800 million in revenue during the second half of 2025 from the potential China sales. It also highlighted that much of the $800 million in MI308 inventory that AMD was planning to write down may now be sold at near-zero cost. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Can AMD Stock Hit $210 in 2025?
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has captured investors' attention once again as optimism builds around its potential in the booming artificial intelligence (AI) and data center markets. With shares currently trading around $179, one of the most bullish voices on Wall Street, UBS, has lifted its 12-month price target to $210 from $150 while maintaining a 'Buy' rating. Some analysts believe AMD's expanding AI chip lineup and strengthening position in server solutions could drive significant upside. However, others remain cautious, pointing to stiff competition, macroeconomic uncertainty, and high expectations already priced into the stock. As excitement grows, is AMD stock poised to maintain its momentum and hit the $210 mark in 2025? More News from Barchart Morgan Stanley Says Nvidia Has 'Exceptional' Strength. Should You Buy NVDA Stock Here? Dear MicroStrategy Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 31 2 Growth Stocks Wall Street Predicts Will Soar 74% to 159% Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. About Advanced Micro Devices Stock Based in Santa Clara, California, Advanced Micro Devices is a fabless semiconductor firm known for high-performance computing solutions including its Ryzen, EPYC, Threadripper, Radeon, and Instinct product lines. Since its founding, AMD has evolved into a major player in CPUs, GPUs, adaptive SoCs, FPGAs, and AI accelerators. AMD's market capitalization currently stands at around $291 billion, placing it among the top semiconductor firms globally. AMD has delivered a remarkable price performance through 2025, signaling a powerful comeback. As of the last session, AMD closed at $179.51, after hitting its 52‑week high of $182.31 on July 29, marking an impressive recovery from its April low of $76.48. Its year‑to‑date (YTD) gains stand at 49%, catalyzed by strong AI and data-center demand, particularly surrounding the Instinct MI350/MI355X GPU series and analyst upgrades. AMD stock is currently priced at 56 times forward earnings, trading at a lofty valuation compared to the sector median and its historical average. AMD Delivered Robust Q1 Performance AMD reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings on May 6, delivering a strong start to the year with revenue of $7.4 billion, up 36% year-over-year (YOY), and surpassing expectations. On a non‑GAAP basis, net income rose 55% YOY to $1.6 billion, with EPS of $0.96, also marking a 55% increase. Gross margin expanded to 54%, while operating income on a non-GAAP basis rose 57% to reach $1.8 billion, translating into an operating margin of 24%. The data center segment stood out, generating $3.7 billion in revenue, up 57% YOY, driven by strong demand for EPYC and Instinct. The client and gaming segment delivered $2.9 billion, rising 28% from the year-ago quarter, with client processor demand particularly robust. Finally, the embedded segment experienced a modest 3% decline to $823 million as demand remained mixed. AMD further forecast a revenue impact for the year due to the export license requirement, which could hamper overall results. Yet, management issued optimistic guidance for Q2, which is about to be reported on Tuesday, Aug. 5 after the market close. AMD expects Q2 revenue of $7.4 billion, plus or minus $300 million. Analysts covering AMD predict its EPS to rise by 18% YOY to $3.09 in fiscal 2025, before improving by around 57% annually to reach $4.86 in fiscal 2026. What Do Analysts Expect for AMD Stock? UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri raised his price target from $150 to $210 recently, maintaining a 'Buy' rating, citing growing demand in both PC and data center markets as well as stronger investor sentiment. HSBC also upgraded AMD from 'Hold' to 'Buy,' doubling its price target to $200. The upgrade was prompted by strong performance from the new Instinct MI350 series, which analysts believe rivals Nvidia's (NVDA) Blackwell GPUs and could drive upside. However, some analysts are still preferring the sidelines. Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of AMD earlier this month, assigning a 'Neutral' rating and a $140 price target. While it acknowledged the company's solid execution and substantial gains in server and PC CPU market share, the firm cautioned that AMD's server CPU share gains may decelerate due to rising ARM penetration, and that merchant GPU market share may remain limited amid intense competition. AMD stock has a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating overall. Out of 44 analysts covering the semiconductor stock, 28 recommend a 'Strong Buy,' two give a 'Moderate Buy,' 13 analysts stay cautious with a 'Hold' rating, and one analyst gives a 'Strong Sell' rating. AMD has already surpassed its average analyst price target of $152.42. However, the Street-high target price of $223 recently set by Arete Research suggests as much as 24% upside ahead.

AMD, Broadcom, Marvell Technology, Micron, and Nvidia Stocks Trade Down, What You Need To Know
What Happened? A number of stocks fell in the morning session after the U.S. jobs report for July came in significantly weaker than expected while new widespread import tariffs were announced, sparking fears of a potential economic slowdown. The U.S. economy added only 73,000 jobs, far below estimates, and massive downward revisions to the prior two months painted a much weaker picture of the labor market. This has stoked recession fears, which would directly impact demand for chips used in countless products. Compounding these worries, the White House announced new tariffs, including a 20% levy on imports from Taiwan, a global hub for chip manufacturing. This dual shock of slowing domestic growth and renewed trade friction creates a challenging outlook for the highly cyclical and globally connected semiconductor industry, leading to a broad-based sell-off. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Processors and Graphics Chips company AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) fell 3.2%. Is now the time to buy AMD? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Processors and Graphics Chips company Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) fell 3.3%. Is now the time to buy Broadcom? Access our full analysis report here, it's free.

Processors and Graphics Chips company Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) fell 3.6%. Is now the time to buy Nvidia? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Zooming In On Marvell Technology (MRVL) Marvell Technology's shares are extremely volatile and have had 39 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 3 days ago when the stock gained 3.3% on the news that it announced a collaboration with South Korean AI semiconductor company Rebellions to develop custom AI infrastructure. The partnership aimed to deliver high-performance, energy-efficient AI systems specifically for sovereign-backed AI projects in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions. Under the agreement, Rebellions planned to use Marvell's custom platforms, including advanced packaging and high-speed interconnect technologies, to design specialized AI accelerators. This move was seen as a strategic step for Marvell to tap into the growing market for government-supported AI initiatives, providing end-to-end solutions for large-scale AI inference, which is the process of using a trained AI model to make predictions. Marvell Technology is down 34.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $74.25 per share, it is trading 41.1% below its 52-week high of $126.06 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Marvell Technology's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,987. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
