AMD Ryzen 3D V-Cache CPUs Leaked specifications
Two flagship even processors yet to see the light from AMD's Ryzen 9000 series have had their specifications leaked. They are the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 and the 8-core Ryzen 7 9850X3D. The information includes clock speeds, TDPs, and reportedly a retail price listing for one version.
AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D is expected to be an improved version of the 9800X3D.
Major Points:
- Max clock speed: 5.60 GHz, which is 400 MHz higher than that of the predecessor.
- Performance: This increase in frequency is expected to improve single-threaded performance by 5-7%.
- TDP: 120W.
- Price: Briefly listed at NEBuMAX, one US retailer, for $511.44.
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2
The flagship Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is expected to have some considerable architectural updates.
