16 Zen 5 CPU cores and 32 threads, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 delivers substantial parallel processing performance while reaching up to 5.6GHz boost from a 4.3GHz base clock. It features 192MB L3 cache, 16MB L2 cache, and 1280KB L1 cache, for 208MB total CPU cache.
The processor supports DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, AMD EXPO, Precision Boost Overdrive, Curve Optimizer, and AMD Ryzen Master. Integrated 2-core AMD Radeon Graphics at 2200MHz provides basic display capability, while the unlocked design gives enthusiasts additional tuning flexibility.
With a 200W default TDP, the boxed processor does not include a stock thermal solution, and AMD recommends liquid cooling for optimal performance.
