AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU benchmark results leak

AMD Ryzen 9000 CPU with 192MB of L3 cache leaks

Two benchmark results have leaked for AMD’s rumoured Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU, suggesting that prior leaks for the processor are accurate. This CPU, unlike the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, features two CCDs with AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology. This provides the CPU with two CCDs, each with 96MB of L3 cache. In other words, 192MB of total L3 cache.

This CPU reportedly uses the same fast CCDs as AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 7 9850X3D. This means the new processor should deliver performance comparable to AMD’s non-X3D Ryzen 9 9950X3D in standard workloads. However, workloads that benefit from AMD’s enlarged L3 cache will see those benefits on both of the CPU’s 8-core CCDs. This should make the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 AMD’s fastest AM5 CPU.

Both PassMark and Geekbench results for AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU have leaked, highlighting strong performance. That said, these later benchmark leaks could imply that AMD’s Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU could launch before the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2.

AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 addresses the downsides of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D by adding 3D V-Cache to both CPU core chiplets. This removes the “hybrid” nature of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and makes workload allocation simpler. Currently, the impact of this change on game performance is unknown. Furthermore, it is unknown how much this change will impact the cost of this new dual-X3D processor. Regardless, this is the best Zen 5 CPU that AMD can build for socket AM5. We are unlikely to see AMD release anything better until Zen 6 CPUs arrive.
