With AI’s data boom, powerful memory is becoming all the more necessary for next-gen computing. It is 3D NAND that can ...

So the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D has something of a high bar to clear given the strength of AMD's first Zen 5 3D V-Cache chip, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, but having spent a week testing this chip, I can say ...

AMD first added 3D V-Cache (an extra portion of L3 cache that can boost gaming performance) to its Ryzen 7 5800X3D nearly three years ago and it was an instant hit. This is also something Intel ...

Of course, Ryzen 9 9950X3D features AMD’s latest Zen 5 microarchitecture, and its second generation 3D V-Cache literally flips the build upside down, to allow for not only higher clocks ...

AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9950X3D is built on the Zen 5 architecture and includes second-generation 3D V-Cache. AMD has added 16 cores and improved the base clocks to make this CPU better at both gaming ...

AMD says the 9000X3D chips use a "second-generation" version of its 3D V-Cache technology after using the same approach for the Ryzen 5000 and 7000 processors. The main difference is that ...

the Ryzen 9 9950X3D is fully overclockable thanks to AMD rearchitecting the way the 3D V-cache sits on the compute die, so there's a lot more that this chip can do that other X3D chips can't.

Essentially, it's nothing more than a Ryzen 9 9950X—same cores, same clocks, same power—with one of the CCDs (Core Complex Dies) being home to a slice of 2nd generation 3D V-Cache. Or you can ...

That ought to mean that it should roughly match the 9950X in standard workloads or even pull beyond it, even if that 3D V-Cache consumes a bit of extra power and produces a bit of extra heat.

It focuses on 3D NAND flash memory, a critical component in storage devices like SSDs, smartphones, and data centers, and most famously developed Xtacking technology, a proprietary architecture ...
