AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU benchmark leaks
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU leak hints at higher single-threaded and multi-threaded performance
A new benchmark has leaked for AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 processor, the company’s long-rumoured dual-X3D Zen 5 processor. With this CPU, AMD is effectively doubling up on its upcoming Ryzen 7 9850X3D, pairing two of its faster X3D CCDs to create a new Zen 5 flagship.
AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU only has AMD’s X3D V-Cache tech on one of its 8-core CCDs. With the 9950X3D2, both CCDs feature 3D V-Cache. This will give the GPU 192 MB of total L3 cache (96 MB + 96 MB). Additionally, AMD will use faster X3D CPU CCDs to enable higher single-threaded and multi-threaded CPU performance.
According to Geekbench, AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D delivers single-threaded scores of around 3397 and multi-threaded scores of 22167. Below we can see that the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 delivers benchmark scores of 3553 and 24240, respectively. However, it is worth noting that this benchmark score comes from a system using DDR5-8000 memory. Regardless, 4.5% single-threaded and 9.8% multi-threaded performance gains are notable.

This is just one benchmark test, and it does not tell the full story of AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2. How will this extra X3D CCD impact gaming workloads? How will this new X3D CPU be priced? Will many workloads benefit from AMD’s extra L3 cache? We will find out more when AMD finally unveils this long-rumoured processor.
