Following the success of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD is expanding its 3D V-Cache lineup with these two Ryzen 9 processors. Both CPUs will feature 2nd Generation 3D V-Cache and full overclocking support.

Specifications

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D will boast 16 cores and 32 threads, with a total cache pool of 144MB (128MB L3 + 16MB L2). The Ryzen 9 9900X3D will offer 12 cores and 24 threads, with a 140MB cache pool (128MB L3 + 12MB L2).

While clock speeds and TDP are yet to be confirmed, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D's 120W TDP suggests similar or potentially higher figures for these new chips.
