We all knew these models were coming so it’s nice to have them finally announced:
| Model | Cores/Threads | Max boost | TDP | L3 Cache |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 9 9950X3D | 16/32 | 5.7GHz | 170W | 144MB |
| Ryzen 9 9900X3D | 12/24 | 5.5GHz | 120W | 140MB |
Price has not yet been announced but they won’t be cheap. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 4.2 GHz 16-Core AM5 Processor is presently listed at $700 at B&H Photo. Unfortunately, we’re not expecting these to be that much faster than the 7000 series equivalents. Perhaps 10% at best. But we would be happy to be wrong on this front.
