DUAL 2ND GEN 3D V-CACHE. 16 CORES. 192MB L3. 200W.
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition 16-Core 32-Thread AM5 Desktop Processor
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition is designed for developers, creators, gamers, and high-end workstation users who need exceptional cache capacity and substantial multi-threaded performance. Its Zen 5 architecture provides 16 cores and 32 threads, a 4.3GHz base clock, and a maximum boost clock of up to 5.6GHz.
Dual second-generation AMD 3D V-Cache technology places additional cache beneath both eight-core CCDs, giving all sixteen CPU cores access to expanded cache capacity. The processor includes 192MB of L3 cache and 16MB of L2 cache for 208MB of combined L2 and L3 cache.
The AM5 platform supports DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 connectivity, AMD EXPO profiles, integrated Radeon graphics, and current AMD desktop chipsets. This boxed WOF processor does not include a cooler, and AMD recommends liquid cooling for optimal performance.
