AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition - 16-Core, 32-Thread AM5 Desktop Processor - Supports DDR5 & PCIe 5.0, 192MB L3 3D V-Cache, 200W TDP - Without CPU Cooler

Unleash ultimate desktop dominance with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition Desktop Processor. Purpose-built for elite developers, heavy content creators, and extreme gamers, this flagship CPU is the world's first consumer processor to feature Dual AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology. By stacking high-speed cache across both core chiplets, it removes past generation architectural bottlenecks to deliver maximum gaming frame rates and heavy multi-threaded productivity simultaneously.

Based on the highly advanced Zen 5 architecture and a 4nm process, this 16-core, 32-thread powerhouse features a massive 208MB of total on-chip memory to shrink render times, accelerate code compilation, and smooth out 1% frame lows. As a premium W/O Cooler (Without Thermal Solution) item, it is designed to be paired with high-end enthusiast cooling setups on the long-lasting AM5 socket platform.

Key Features

• Dual 3D V-Cache™ Architecture: Doubles the gaming cache layout by equipping both Core Complex Dies (CCDs) with stacked memory, eliminating complex Windows scheduling or core-parking issues.

• Massive 208MB Total Cache: Combines 192MB of ultra-low-latency L3 cache with 16MB of L2 cache to keep massive datasets and complex game engines instantly accessible to the cores.

• Inverted Stacked Thermal Design: Uses 2nd Gen X3D engineering where the cache sits underneath the CPU cores, allowing heat to dissipate directly to your cooler for better thermal efficiency and unlocked overclocking capabilities.

• AVX-512 with True 512-bit Data-Path: Greatly speeds up intensive deep-learning simulations, AI modeling workloads, and complex scientific calculations compared to prior generations.

• Cutting-Edge AM5 Ecosystem: Built-in compatibility for super-fast PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics cards and storage lanes, alongside plug-and-play optimization via AMD EXPO™ DDR5 memory profiles.
