The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is a 16-core, 32-thread desktop processor for the AM5 socket. It uses second-generation 3D V-Cache to put 128MB of L3 cache on the chip, which boosts gaming performance while keeping strong multi-core speed for rendering and streaming. It is unlocked and supports PCIe 5.0 and AMD EXPO memory overclocking. Compared with the previous 7950X3D, it adds more cache and higher clocks, and it competes with Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K by offering better gaming frame rates at the cost of slightly lower multi-core throughput in some heavy workloads.
