AMD has finally announced the release date and prices of its upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D processors. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D and the Ryzen 9 9950X3D are coming March 12, 2025, priced at $599 and $699, respectively. The date was announced by AMD's Jack Huynh on X: AMD announced these chips at CES 2025 and also shared performance gains that customers can expect from them. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is the flagship model with 16 cores and 32 threads based on the Zen5 architecture. It operates at max speeds of up to 5.7GHz with a nominal TDP of 170W. However, it is not clocks or the number of cores that make X3D chips from AMD special. A large amount of stacked 3D V-Cache (second generation) enables significant performance gains over "regular" models. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D has 144MB of L3 combined L2+L3 cache, which is a 64MB increase over the standard Ryzen 9 9950X. As for the lower-tier model, the Ryzen 9 9900X3D, it is a 12-core/24-thread part with 140MB of L3 combined L2+L3 cache, 120 TDP, and up to 5.5GHz clocks. Both Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D are launching at the same price as their predecessors, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 7900X3D, which were launched in February 2023. However, unlike previous-generation Ryzen processors with 3D cache, this generation supports overclocking thanks to cache improvements. In previous-gen Ryzen 3D models, overclocking was limited to avoid stability issues. Source Hope you enjoyed this news post.
