AMD’s New Processors: A Game Changer for Gamers and Creators
Get ready for a big change in the world of computers! AMD has just told us how much their new Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D processors will cost. These processors are special because they have something called 3D V-Cache technology, which makes them really good for gaming and creating things like videos or art. Let’s learn more about these powerful chips and what they can do.
What’s Under the Hood?
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D costs $699 and has 16 cores and 32 threads. It can go really fast, with a base speed of 4.3 GHz and a boost speed of up to 5.7 GHz. It also has a lot of memory, 144 MB of second-generation 3D V-cache, and it uses 170W of power[3]. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a bit cheaper at $599, with 12 cores and 24 threads, a base speed of 4.4 GHz, and a boost speed of up to 5.5 GHz. It has 128 MB of 3D V-cache and uses 120W of power[3].
Why Are They Special?
Both of these processors work on the AM5 platform, which means they can use fast DDR5 RAM and PCIe 5.0. This makes them great for games and other things that need a lot of power. The 3D V-cache technology is what makes them really special. It gives them a fast memory pool just for L3, which makes data go faster and makes the whole system work better. This is really good for gamers and creators who need to process a lot of data fast.
How Do They Compare to Others?
AMD has priced these new processors the same as the last ones, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 7900X3D, which were also $699 and $599[1]. This means AMD thinks these new processors are just as good as the old ones. But we’ll have to wait and see how they compare to other processors that are out there.
When Can We Get Them?
AMD says we can get these new processors on March 12, 2025[3][4]. A lot of people are excited about this because it means we’ll have even better tools for gaming and creating things.
A New Era in Computing
In short, AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D processors are a big step forward in what computers can do. They’re really good for gaming and creating things, and they’re priced in a way that makes them a good choice for a lot of people. As more people want to upgrade their computers, these new processors from AMD will probably be at the top of their list.
