Recently the tech community have been made aware of the alleged specs of AMD’s upcoming pair of Ryzen 9 9000X3D processors – expected to be named 9900X3D for the 12-core part and 9950X3D for the flagship 16-core model. The latter has been leaked once again, this time on monitoring tool CPU-Z.
Ryzen 9 9950X3D Specs Leak
The information was provided by leaker who goes by the name “Huang514613” (handle @94G8LA) on X/Twitter – quoting on the very leak from HXL (@9550pro) that disclosed the information several days ago. This camera-captured photo shows the specs of what looks like the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, though it is reported as “AMD Eng Sample” to denote an Engineering Sample (ES) chip.
Here, the CPU reports TDP as 170 watts, while the core multiplier is listed with a maximum value of 56.5 – this likely means the processor runs at 5.65GHz boost clock, assuming the bus clock is 100MHz (this value rarely changes). Another key information comes from the lower-right of the image, under the Cache section: the Level 3 cache is listed as 96MB + 32MB, which confirms the chip will have two slightly different CCDs for cache-heavy or clock-dependent workloads.
If all of these are accurate, this means the 9950X3D should have virtually identical specs as the standard Ryzen 9 9950X with the exception of cache sizes, which is the key differentiator for these 3D V-Cache models. Expect these chips to be even more expensive, then, since this effectively eliminates the sole weakness X3D parts had against their standard counterparts, meaning the new chip should be the new undisputed most powerful desktop processor from Team Red.
Pokdepinion: Should be a properly fast chip.
