AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D gaming CPUs arriving next month, leak suggests

A new leak suggests that the new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D gaming CPUs will launch next month. If the rumor is true, these new 12 and 16-core Zen 5 chips will be available to purchase in just under three weeks time, bringing even more processors with AMD’s powerful 3D V-Cache technology into the high-end CPU market.

It’s the 3D V-Cache technology, more than any other enhancement, that has allowed AMD to dominate with the best gaming CPUs in recent years. Contenders such as the 7800X3D and 9800X3D have consistently beaten the competition so far, with Intel’s latest Core Ultra lineup failing to impress gamers, as our Intel Core Ultra 265K review shows.
