AMD just told everyone what they'd charge for their new Ryzen chips with extra memory tech. The big 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D costs $699, which puts it $100 above the regular version without the special cache. The smaller 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X3D sells for $599. Both chips use the latest Zen 5 design plus that fancy 3D V-Cache system that helps run programs faster when they need to handle lots of data at once.
You can buy these processors starting March 12. The prices match what AMD did with earlier models like the 7950X3D and 7900X3D from the last batch. People didn't love the 12-core option before, but maybe this time around, the $599 price tag will change their minds. Computer fans might see it as a good middle ground between paying top dollar and getting a solid performance.
These new chips pack some serious punch for gamers and folks who work with heavy applications. The 3D V-Cache makes a real difference when programs need quick access to information. AMD keeps following its pattern of charging extra for this special feature because it actually improves how the processor works. The company knows its customers understand the value of these improvements.
Most tech experts think these prices make sense compared to what the chips can do. The March release date gives people time to plan their computer upgrades. AMD hopes the 12-core model attracts more buyers this time around. The whole lineup gives customers clear choices based on how much power they need and how much money they want to spend on their next computer build.
