AMD has announced that it will be releasing its newest Ryzen X3D processors on March 12. The company had previously showcased the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D at CES 2025, and these powerful gaming-focused processors have been highly anticipated by enthusiasts.
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is a beast of a chip, boasting an impressive 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, with a maximum boost speed of 5.7GHz. Additionally, it features second-generation 3D V-Cache technology that enables more efficient performance. This means that the processor can provide better gaming experiences and improved content creation capabilities.
In contrast, the Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a more modest offering with 12 CPU cores and a maximum boost speed of 5.5GHz. However, both processors still benefit from AMD’s innovative 3D V-Cache technology.
It’s this technology that truly sets these chips apart from their competitors. By packaging cache modules on top of each other, AMD has managed to reduce RAM-intensive performance without sacrificing overall processing power. The implications for gaming and content creation are significant – think smoother framerates and faster rendering times.
In fact, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D is an astonishing 20 percent faster than Intel’s Core i9 285K in 40 different games, according to AMD’s own benchmarks. And for content creators, it promises at least a 10 percent boost across various applications.
What’s more, AMD now has all the necessary components to build a compelling gaming PC. The Ryzen X3D processors pair perfectly with their recently released Radeon RX 9070 GPUs to create an unbeatable combo for serious gamers and content creators alike.
The new processors will be available for pre-order starting March 12. Prices are set at $699 for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and $599 for the Ryzen 9 9900X3D.
