00:00AMD today launched the Ryzen 99950X 3D2 Dual Edition Socket M5 Desktop Processor.
00:07The Ryzen 99950X 3D is located above this processor and is a much-awaited implementation of 3D vCache memory on
00:16both CCDs, CPU complex dies, of the processor.
00:20The 16-core-32 thread processor is based on the Zen 5 microarchitecture and features a total of 192MB of
00:29shared L3 cache.
00:30That's 32MB of on-die L3 cache plus 64MB of 3D vCache that's contiguous with it across both CCDs.
00:39This enables a maximum possible gaming performance, as worker threads of the game can be located on either of the
00:45two CCDs and benefit from large last-level cache.
00:48The base clock is 4.30GHz with a boost clock of 5.60GHz, 100MHz lower boost than the 9950X 3D,
00:58and the same clocks as the 9850X 3D.
01:01No word that these are the same for each CCD.
01:05The AMD Ryzen 99950X 3D2 Dual Edition is positioned to be a 16-core Zen 5 flagship part and to
01:12ensure the chip is not just the most cache, but also the highest possible clock speed in the series.
01:18And retain its overclocking capabilities.
01:20AMD expanded the TDP of the processor to 200W, the highest ever for an AMD Ryzen part.
01:28AMD is offering gaming performance rivaling its latest Ryzen 79850X 3D.
01:34But we significantly improve productivity performance in applications with large cache data sets, such as software development, AI training, and
01:43inferencing in video production.
01:44The 9950X 3D2 outperforms the 9950X 3D in the company's first-party productivity benchmarks by a sizable single-digit percentage.
01:55AMD did not announce price, but said that the 9950X 3D2 Dual Edition will be available from April 22, 2026.
