These aren’t just any processors; they’re packed with AMD’s special 3D V-Cache technology, which is set to make gaming and creating stuff on your computer even better. Let’s find out more about these powerful chips.
What’s Under the Hood?
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D costs $699. It’s got 16 cores and 32 threads, which means it can handle lots of tasks at once. Its base clock speed is 4.3 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.7 GHz. It also has a whopping 144 MB of second-generation 3D V-cache and uses 170W of power[3].
The Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a bit cheaper at $599. It has 12 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock speed of 4.4 GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.5 GHz. It comes with 128 MB of 3D V-cache and uses 120W of power[3].
What Makes Them Special?
Both processors use the AM5 platform, which means they can work with fast DDR5 RAM and the latest PCIe 5.0 standard[3]. The 3D V-cache technology is what makes them really cool. It’s like having a super-fast memory pool just for gaming and creating stuff, which makes your computer work faster and smoother[3].
