AMD has reportedly confirmed the release date of its highly anticipated Ryzen 9 9950X3D gaming CPU, which has 16 cores and 3D V-Cache.

"The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is extremely powerful in games, which makes it easier to recommend than other recent processors like the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or Ryzen 9 9900X. Especially if you’re building a rig with a powerful graphics card, the 9800X3D is going to be the best way to get the most performance out of whichever GPU you pair it with."

AMD finally unveiled the pricing and availability of the long-awaited Ryzen 9 CPUs. No surprise: they're priced the same as last generation, but are available soon.
