AMD loves to build to a crescendo. As it’s shown since 2016, when its first Ryzen CPUs launched, the company progresses incrementally but steadily—until Team Red sits all the way at the top. That time has come for its 3D V-Cache processors,

It is, of course, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and having spent a whole week pushing it through every possible benchmark I could think of, I can tell you now, it is the new champion of CPU

AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X is a chip that delivers on all fronts. It combines the multi-threaded grunt of the 9950X with the gaming prowess of the 9800X3D.

AMD's new Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D processors have gone up for sale at Newegg, but stock isn't likely to last long.

AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D is probably the best CPU you can buy if you're trying to put together a fast gaming PC, thanks to its eight Zen 5 CPU cores and extra helping of 3D V-Cache. You don't really need more CPU cores than this to play games, and most games benefit from the extra cache more than they do from a bit of extra clock speed.

While AMD’s first Zen 5 CPUs disappointed everyone in gaming, the latest X3D versions have more than made up for that. The 9800X3D became the best gaming CPU last year, and now the 9950X3D greatly improves creator workloads while mostly maintaining that stellar gaming performance.

When AMD introduced the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, we saw just how much 3D V-Cache could enhance gaming performance while maintaining excellent efficiency. Now,

AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D provides still competition for Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K, particularly when it comes to gaming.
