HardwareLeak AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 “Dual 3D V-Cache” CPU Benchmarked, Faster Than Ryzen 9950X3D In Both Single & Multi-Core Tests While Packing 192 MB of L3 Goodness Sarfraz Khan • at Add on Google The fastest X3D processor was just benchmarked on Geekbench again, delivering superb single and multi-core performance. AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Delivers 7% Higher Single-Core and Multi-Core Performance in Geekbench vs Ryzen 9950X3D The upcoming Zen 5 flagship Ryzen 9000 CPU made its second appearance on Geekbench, showcasing its prowess against other high-end offerings. AMD hasn't officially unveiled the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 processor yet, but Geekbench has confirmed some of its specifications and also how it performs compared to its sibling with a single 3D V-cache chiplet.

The processor scored 3,553 points in single-core and 24,340 points in multi-core tests, showcasing much better single/multi-threaded prowess vs the last time, which easily beats the Ryzen 9 9950X3D by around 7%. Image Source: Geekbench 6 The processor brings the same 16-core/32-thread configuration as the 9950X3D, but both the CCDs have a 3D V-Cache chiplet underneath the cores, making it the first-ever CPU to bring a staggering 192 MB L3 cache (96 MB + 96 MB).

Unlike the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, the 9950X3D2 doesn't bring any changes in the clock speeds, but aims to achieve superior performance in select apps/games through adding another cache chiplet. We don't yet know how much performance boost the additional L3 cache may bring in games, but synthetic benchmarks are clearly showing the superiority. This was also confirmed by the previous PassMark results, which are much more accurate than Geekbench results.
