Tech reviewers can share their thoughts about these chips right before they hit the stores. Both processors use AMD's latest Zen 5 design. Computer enthusiasts looking for better speed and power savings might want to upgrade their systems. These processors offer several fancy features that boost performance.
The bigger Ryzen 9 9950X3D has 16 cores that can run as fast as 5.7 gigahertz. It uses 170 watts of power and has a huge 144 megabytes of memory cache. This cache combines different types—L2, L3, and special 3D V-Cache—to handle data faster. The smaller Ryzen 9 9900X3D has 12 cores that reach speeds up to 5.5 gigahertz.
This processor uses less power at 120 watts but still packs 140 megabytes of total cache. Both chips stack memory in vertical layers to improve their performance. Gamers will notice better performance, and people who crunch lots of data will see faster results. AMD made these options for different needs—some people want maximum power, and others prefer better efficiency.
