News got out about AMD's new Ryzen 9000 PCs like the Ryzen 5 9600X3D, Ryzen 5 9600, and some Ryzen 9000 PROs via an update in a "SI Driver for Radeon". This find was by a user named MelodicWarrior.
The Ryzen 5 9600X3D is to be a cheap 3D V-Cache pick in the Ryzen 9000 line. This CPU will have:
- 6 cores and 12 threads.
- One CCD (Core Complex Die) with 2nd Gen 3D V-Cache tech.
- 96 MB of L3 cache (64 MB from V-Cache + 32 MB base).
This setup is set to boost game play for those using the Zen 5 design and AM5 setup. Its TDP and clock speeds are hoped to stay like those of the Ryzen 5 9600X.
The Ryzen 5 9600, a 6-core, 12-thread CPU with speeds up to 5.2 GHz and 32 MB of L3 cache (65W TDP), was mostly sold via System Integrators (SIs). The driver list hints that more help will stick, and we may see more DIY or boxed units soon.
Four new AMD Ryzen 9000 PRO desktop CPUs were also shared:
- Ryzen 9 PRO 9945
- Ryzen 7 PRO 9745
- Ryzen 5 PRO 9645
- Ryzen 5 PRO 9400
It's not clear yet if these PRO series CPUs use the “Granite Ridge” Zen 5 desktop CPU style or another design. Notably, these units don't have the “G” tag that AMD's APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) usually carry.
As MelodicWarrior says, the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X3D should hit SIs first, with a chance for a DIY market debut from late Q3 to early Q4 2025. AMD is also set to bring out the Ryzen 7 9700F CPU soon, signaling a busy time for Zen 5 rollouts on the AM5 set-up.
