AMD's forthcoming flagship processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, has made another appearance on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. This processor stands out with its distinctive dual 3D V-Cache architecture, where 3D V-Cache chips are stacked beneath both CCD (Core Chiplet Die) cores. This design boosts the L3 cache capacity to a whopping 192MB (96MB + 96MB), making it the consumer-grade CPU with the largest cache capacity currently available.
Benchmark data reveals that it scored 3553 in single-core tests and 24340 in multi-core tests, marking an approximate 7% performance improvement over the existing 9950X3D. The processor retains its 16-core, 32-thread configuration and maintains a boost clock speed of 5.6GHz. It is anticipated to be officially launched in either the first or second quarter of 2026.
