AMD officially presented its new Ryzen processors called Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D at CES 2025.
Both processors are products with 3D V-Cache cache technology. The cache technology in question has been found to be a trump card in game use, for example.
AMD’s first Zen 5 architecture and 9000 series 3D V-Cache processor was the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It’s been a bestseller, but if this 8-core processor isn’t enough, the new top-tier options add more power to users’ configurations.

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D offers a boost clock frequency of 5.7 GHz and a TDP value of 170 watts. In addition, the CPU has 16 cores and 32 threads in two CCD units. In addition, there is one IO unit in the architecture.
The processor has a total of no less than 144 megabytes of cache memory. Half of it is used by the CCD units and the other half by the 3D V-Cache.
The Ryzen 9 9900X3D, on the other hand, offers 12 cores, 24 threads and a total of 140 megabytes of cache memory. Of that, 64 megabytes are L3 cache for two CCD units, and 3D V-Cache brings the total to 140 megabytes. The processor’s boost clock frequency is 5.5 gigahertz and the TDP value is 120 watts.
According to Wccftech, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU offers an average of 8 percent more gaming performance compared to the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU. On the other hand, in Counter-Strike 2, for example, the performance difference between the processors could reach 58 percent.
AMD did not give an exact release date or pricing, but the processors are expected to hit the market in March 2025.
