Following the introduction of the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs last week, AMD has officially unveiled the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D processors. Initial reviews commend these components as some of the most powerful CPUs available—so if you’re building a premium gaming setup, they are likely an excellent fit for your requirements. However, they are expected to be in high demand, so if you spot one available, it’s wise to grab it quickly. The 9950X3D is priced at $699, while the 9900X3D is available for $599.

These two CPUs are the successors to the popular Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which was released last November and quickly became the essential processor for gaming and high-end development tasks. The 9950X3D and 9900X3D aim to deliver an even more comprehensive experience. The 9800X3D has been difficult to find, but if you’re looking to save some money, you can currently find the new No. 1 best-selling CPU for $480 at Amazon.
The 9950X3D is the more premium choice, offering speeds of up to 5.7GHz, 16 cores, and 32 threads. Additionally, it includes 64MB of 3D V-Cache to enhance its performance in demanding gaming scenarios. In contrast, the 9900X3D features 12 cores, 24 threads, and clock speeds up to 5.5GHz. It also benefits from a 64MB 3D V-Cache.
