AMD Expands Professional Workstation Portfolio with Six New Zen 5 Ryzen Pro 9000 CPUs Featuring 3D V Cache Technology and Advanced Enterprise Security
AMD added 6 new Zen 5 built Ryzen Pro 9000 CPUs to its professional workstation hardware portfolio today. According to official company product documentation, these new chips are aimed at enterprise desktop and professional workstation scenarios. Most notable is the addition of 3D V Cache to the Pro brand through the introduction of the Ryzen 9 Pro 9965X3D and Ryzen 7 Pro 9755X3D processors.
Topping the lineup of new 2026 products is the 16 core/32 thread Ryzen 9 Pro 9965X3D which boasts up to 5.5GHz boost clocks and an massive 128MB of L3 cache. Functionally, the chip shares its core with the Ryzen 9 9950X3D consumer product, but the Ryzen 9 Pro 9965X3D adds AMD's Pro level security and management features. Thermal design power for the flagship is rated at 170W, the highest of any Ryzen Pro chip on the AM5 platform at the present time.
For higher performance without 3D V Cache support, AMD also launched the standard 16 core/32 thread Ryzen 9 Pro 9965. The chip is rated at 170W, but features 64MB of L3 cache instead of 128MB. Organizations prioritizing lower power usage also received the new 12 core/24 thread Ryzen 9 Pro 9955 at a rated TDP of 120W with 64MB of L3 cache.
Stepping into the mid tier is the 8 core/16 thread Ryzen 7 Pro 9755X3D, the first 8 core professional chip to utilize 3D V Cache, providing the massive low latency cache of 96MB. Complementing this special professional processor is the Ryzen 7 Pro 9755 and Ryzen 5 Pro 9655. Both chips are rated at 120W TDP, are optimized for a high performance enterprise desktop role, and provide the longevity and enterprise focused feature set found in Ryzen Pro processors.
Across all Ryzen Pro 9000 SKUs, configurations range from 6 to 16 cores, with thermal design power ratings from a minimum of 65W all the way up to the 170W found in top tier CPUs. All Zen 5 Pro class CPUs boast specialized, hardware level security features for the protection of corporate data, as well as the ability to be centrally managed in large fleets by IT staff. Existing AM5 motherboards will be compatible with this new family of professional chips.
