AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Review: Ryzen 7 9800X3D levels of gaming performance and power efficiency for $50 markup over the Ryzen 9 9950X

Verdict: Excellent gaming and efficiency boost with questionable value proposition

Today's launch of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D further consolidates the fact that simply adding extra cache offers a more palpable performance benefit than any radical architecture change.

The AM5 platform has matured considerably since its advent three years ago, coupled with reasonably priced DDR5 kits. In fact, you can use the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D with just about any AM5 motherboard and reap more or less the same performance benefits.

Recent AGESA updates have introduced Memory Context Restore functionality that significantly improves memory training and boot times, which have been a pain point with the AM5 platform.

While the future of Intel's new LGA 1851 socket is still uncertain, AMD has actually promised AM5 support till 2027. If AM4's longevity is anything to go by, AM5 can be expected to outlive its purpose yet again.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is on par with the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, the Core i9-14900K, and even the Ryzen 9 9950X in cumulative CPU benchmarks while offering good power efficiency gains. Productivity workloads see the Ryzen 9 9950X3D topping the charts with some tangible gains over Intel's offerings.

When it comes to gaming, particularly at CPU-intensive settings, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D's additional 64 MB V-cache proves beneficial, boosting its performance by 18% over its non-X3D counterpart and surpassing the Core i9-14900K by 10% in aggregated gaming tests.

Despite this, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D can only play second fiddle to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in gaming, although the delta between them is practically negligible. Even the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is still a venerable option in 2025 if you're primarily eyeing a gaming CPU.

While the Core Ultra 9 285K brings with it good efficiency improvements, its current $620 selling price makes it a less appealing recommendation.

Want a CPU that excels in both gaming and content creation? The $699 Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the $500 Core i9-14900K are both good options.

Want the best gaming CPU overall? The $449 Ryzen 7 7800X3D or the $479 Ryzen 7 9800X3D are just what the doctor ordered.

AMD started toying with the idea of bringing its 3D V-cache technology − first seen with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D − to flagship Ryzen CPUs starting from the Ryzen 7000 series.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been a runaway hit in the Zen 5 generation, and now it is the turn of the top-end 16-core behemoth to get a taste of 3D V-cache goodness.

Today, AMD is making available the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and the Ryzen 9 9950X3D processors with the sales embargo lifting tomorrow.

We have with us the Ryzen 9 9950X3D for review. AMD is yet to seed the Ryzen 9 9900X3D to the press in India, but we hope to have it in our labs pretty soon.

Unlike a single CCD implementation like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, introducing an X3D variant of a 16-core 32-thread dual-CCD chip is a lot more complex.

The CPU (and the OS) should be able to park and utilize cores efficiently — send gaming workloads to the X3D CCD while using the higher clocks on the non-X3D CCD for productivity tasks.

This is easier said than done, so AMD is implementing a few technologies (or workarounds?) of its own to ensure a seamless user experience.

Installing the latest AMD chipset driver gets you the latest versions of provisioning packages and 3D V-cache Performance Optimizer exclusive to the Ryzen 9 series for effective core parking and CPU scheduling.

The latest provisioning packages alleviate the need to reinstall Windows should you wish to change to a non-X3D or a Ryzen 7 X3D CPU.

New to this generation is the AMD Application Compatibility Database, which optimizes Ryzen 9 X3D CPU performance with select titles that aren't yet capable of taking advantage of the updated provisioning packages.

Game Bar should be running the latest KGL version

All said, the CPU lacks a direct method to identify whether a program should be classified as a game and, therefore, assigned to the X3D CCD.

Instead, AMD's drivers rely on Microsoft's logic of offering Game Bar functionality upon detecting a game, using this cue to appropriately park the cores.

Therefore, it is imperative to have the latest version of Game Bar together with KGL version 2400 or later for optimal X3D functionality.

The test bench: Ryzen 9 9950X3D and GeForce RTX 4090 make a good pair

Our AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D test bench is comprised of the following components:

Cooler Master MasterFrame 700 open test bench
ASRock X870E Taichi motherboard with BIOS 3.17.TS03 (AGESA ComboAM5PI 1.2.0.3) seeded to the press
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition GPU
2x 16 GB G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 RAM running in the EXPO-6000 profile with timings 30-37-37-97 at 1.40 V
Samsung 990 Pro 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD for OS, benchmarks, and games
Alienware AW3225QF 4K 240 Hz QD-OLED monitor
Thermaltake TH420 V2 Ultra EX ARGB AiO cooler
Cooler Master MVE Gold V2 1250 ATX 3.0 fully modular PSU

We would like to thank AMD for providing the Ryzen 9 9950X3D test sample, motherboard, SSD, and DDR5 memory, Nvidia for the RTX 4090 Founders Edition GPU, Dell for the AW3225QF monitor, Thermaltake for the TH420 V2 Ultra EX AIO, and finally Cooler Master for the test bench and power supply.

All tests were performed on a fresh installation of Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.3323) together with the AMD chipset drivers 7.01.07.634 seeded to the press and Nvidia Game Ready Driver 572.70.

Given the potential for incorrect core parking with 3D V-cache on a dual-CCD chip, we went with AMD's recommendation of using the Balanced power profile in Windows. VBS was enabled and KGL version was confirmed to be 2439 in the Game Bar.

CPU performance: In the same ballpark as the Ryzen 9 9950X and Core Ultra 9 285K

The additional 3D V-cache does not confer the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D any perceivable advantage vis-à-vis the Ryzen 9 9950X or even the Core Ultra 9 285K in cumulative CPU benchmarks.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Core Ultra 9 285K are neck and neck in Cinebench single and multi-core tests. A similar pattern is seen in Geekbench scores as well.

The performance uplift coming from a Core i9-14900K or a Ryzen 9 7950X3D is also no greater than 5% overall. However, individual Cinebench results see the Ryzen 9 9950X3D leading the Ryzen 9 7950X3D by 10% and 16% in Cinebench R23 single and multi-core benchmarks, respectively.

3DMark Performance Rating | 3DMark 11 | 3DMark

720p gaming may be passé, but it still makes academic sense to test at this resolution to see whether the CPU poses any bottleneck for gaming.

In highly CPU-limited resolutions, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D comes ever so close to the reigning gaming champion, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, in cumulative gaming tests at 720p Low, 1080p Low, and 1080p Ultra.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is 10% faster overall than the Core i9-14900K, with good gains seen in titles like Borderlands 3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry 5, and Metro Exodus (non-Enhanced version).

At higher resolutions, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D gains a miniscule edge over the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Core i9-14900K throw up largely similar average fps numbers in cumulative QHD and 4K gaming.

However, the presence of 3D V-cache helps in better 1% and 0.1% lows which should lend to a much smoother gaming experience at these settings.

Notebookcheck's impressions of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D brings 3D V-cache goodness to the flagship 16-core 32-thread part. While the addition of 3D V-cache does help the Ryzen 9 9950X3D match the venerable Ryzen 7 9800X3D in CPU-limited titles, the advantages at higher resolutions don't become immediately apparent.

Notwithstanding the fact that you will have to cough up an extra $50 over the Ryzen 9 9950X's SEP for little to no performance or efficiency gains.
