The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is a 16-core, 32-thread desktop processor for the AM5 socket. It uses the Zen 5 architecture with AMD 3D V-Cache technology and boosts up to 5.7 GHz. It has 144MB of total cache.
This is a Tray (OEM) version. It comes without retail packaging and without a bundled cooler, so a separate aftermarket CPU cooler is required. The processor has a 170W TDP, and high-performance cooling is strongly recommended.
It has no integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required. It works with AMD 600-series motherboards (B650, X670, X670E), and a BIOS update may be required. It requires DDR5 memory.
