Even though AMD's latest flagship processor, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, hasn't been officially launched yet, there are already hints suggesting it has entered a limited distribution phase. On January 30, 2026, while Yu Yuanlin, the General Manager of ASUS Computer China, was evaluating the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, a folder named '9950X3DV2' inadvertently appeared on the desktop of his testing machine. This discovery further substantiated the existence of this processor.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 stands out as the world's inaugural desktop processor to incorporate X3D cache on both dual CCD chips. Each CCD is outfitted with 64MB of X3D cache, culminating in a total of 128MB. When combined with 16MB of L2 cache per core and 64MB of shared L3 cache, the entire chip boasts a staggering 208MB of cache. This processor is equipped with 16 cores, capable of reaching a maximum boost frequency of 5.6GHz. Its Thermal Design Power (TDP) has been elevated to 200W, with actual power consumption expected to range between 230W and 250W.

Although the integration of dual 3D V-Cache offers only modest enhancements in gaming performance, this processor is ideally tailored for tackling memory-intensive tasks.
