AMD's first PRO chip with 3D V-Cache, the 16-core Ryzen 9 9965X3D, surfaces

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D processor has been spotted on PassMark, indicating it will be the first PRO chip to feature 3D V-Cache technology. This new CPU also appears to break the previous 12-core limit for the PRO series, offering 16 cores and 32 threads. While benchmark scores suggest slightly lower performance than the non-PRO 9950X3D, this is likely due to power optimizations typical for PRO-series chips aimed at professional users. AI

IMPACT This new processor could offer enhanced performance for AI workloads on professional workstations, potentially improving efficiency for content creators and other demanding users.
