Everything About AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Processor
Following the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, which has attracted attention in the technology world recently, AMD is now preparing to come up with its new flagship Ryzen 9 9950X3D. This processor aims to increase performance by using AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology. Ryzen 9 9950X3D is expected to be introduced at the CES fair to be held in early 2025.
Performance Tests of Ryzen 9 9950X3D
The first performance tests of the new processor have started to arrive. These tests were carried out on Factoriobox, a popular testing platform, and compared with the benchmark results of the Factorio game. The first results are quite striking; Ryzen 9 9950X3D achieved 654.9 UPS per second (Unit per Second). This value shows a very high performance compared to the 553.7 UPS and 427.5 UPS values of the previously released Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Ryzen 9 7950X3D models, respectively.
Since the results of the Factorio test depend on the processor as well as memory speeds and timings, these results alone may not be sufficient to evaluate the overall performance of the processor. However, the data obtained shows that Ryzen 9 9950X3D provides a significant performance increase compared to previous generation models.
Information Leaked from Gigabyte
Ryzen 9 9950X3D was leaked by Gigabyte earlier this week. Among the leaked information was information that the new generation flagship will have the X3D Turbo Mode feature. Thanks to this feature, it is claimed that Ryzen 9 9950X3D can offer up to 18% speed increase compared to the 7950X3D processor.
New 3D V-Cache Technology
One of the most important innovations expected from Ryzen 9 9950X3D will be the new 2nd generation version of 3D V-Cache technology. In this new version, the cache is located below the CPU core die rather than above it. This change allowed the Ryzen 7 9800X3D to run at higher clock speeds than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. If this is the only difference in the 9950X3D’s cache, it is not expected to surpass the 9800X3D in terms of gaming performance.
Kernel Structure and Performance Differences
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D stands out because its 16-core X3D chips use two CPU core dies. However, the extra 3D V-Cache die is placed on only one CPU core die. This may cause the eight cores to not have fast access to the 64MB 3D V-Cache and cause delay problems in data transfer.
Especially in terms of gaming performance, more performance could be achieved if the 9950X3D used two 3D V-Cache dies or better distributed a single die across all 16 cores. However, at this point, more information is needed about the design and internal structure of the processor.
Conclusion
AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor is a source of great excitement for technology enthusiasts and gamers. Next-generation 3D V-Cache technology and performance increases can increase the competitiveness of this processor in the market. However, the exact results and performance evaluations will become clear after the official introduction of the processor. For now, the innovations and potential advantages offered by Ryzen 9 9950X3D remain a highly anticipated topic for users.
