AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Processor , Gigabyte X870 Motherboard Spotted Inside Benchmark
A Geekbench 6.5.0 result shows the performance of an unreleased AMD processor, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2. The evidence for this is the test which was conducted in a next-generation Gigabyte X870 AORUS TACHYON ICE motherboard. The revealing aspect is that it provides key specifications for the forthcoming platform.

Geekbench 6.5.0 Performance Scores
The processor reached the benchmark as follows:
- Single-Core Score: 3553
- Multi-Core Score: 24340
Key Leakage from the Leak
This benchmark entry had a lot of insight. The "9950X3D2" name is of particular interest, implying that it will indeed be the 3D V-cache version of AMD's next flagship. It also supports the claim by that much having 192 megabytes of L3 cache associated with it. This processor features a 16-core 32-thread configuration similar to previous high-end Ryzen 9 CPUs.
Further, this test platform indicates that there is indeed an X870 chipset via the very premium Gigabyte AORUS TACHYON ICE model. Employing very fast 7996 MT/s DDR5 memory shows that such a platform will cater to casual performance enthusiasts with a typically necessary feature; that is, high speed in RAM access.
