AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D specs leaked with high clock speed and 3D V-Cache

According to Wccftech , a leaked image from CPU-Z confirms the existence of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, one of the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series processors. This processor retains the same 16-core/32-thread configuration with a 170W TDP as the original Ryzen 9950X model. However, the notable difference lies in the fact that the L3 cache has been significantly expanded thanks to 3D V-Cache technology, reaching a total capacity of 128 MB.

Images from CPU-Z show the Ryzen 9 9950X3D codenamed Granite Ridge, with a maximum clock speed of 5.6 GHz, 16 cores, 32 threads, and a total of 128 MB of L3 cache.

Through the chiplet design, AMD has added 64 MB of L3 cache to one of the two core clusters (CCDs), each of which consists of 8 cores with 32 MB of separate L3 cache. Placing the chiplet under the CCD not only optimizes memory capacity but also improves thermal performance by directly contacting the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). This design helps maintain the maximum clock speed of 5.6+ GHz, instead of being reduced like previous X3D models.

In addition to solid performance during multitasking, a larger cache also promises to significantly improve the gaming experience. This is especially important as modern games become increasingly demanding in terms of complex data processing.

AMD is expected to launch the Ryzen 9 9950X3D along with the Ryzen 9 9900X3D models and other products such as the Radeon RX 9070 XT at CES 2025 in the US. These processors, codenamed Granite-Ridge, continue to use the Zen 4 architecture, promising to provide a balance between high performance and energy efficiency.

With the same clock speed as the non-X3D version and large cache capacity, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D is positioned as a suitable choice for users who require stability in work and improved efficiency in gaming. More detailed information about the product will likely be officially announced at CES 2025.
