Ryzen 9 9950X3D Specifications

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D is built on the Zen 5 Granite Ridge architecture and manufactured using the 4 nm process. It is compatible with the AM5 socket and supports DDR5 memory with speeds of up to 5600 MT/s. This processor features 16 performance cores operating at a base clock of 4.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.70 GHz , and includes 32 threads. It also comes equipped with 16 MB of L2 cache and 128 MB of L3 cache.

This CPU has a base TDP of 170 W and a very high maximum TDP of 230 W. A high-performance air cooler is the bare minimum, but a premium liquid cooling solution is strongly recommended. Additionally, a PC case with excellent airflow and a high-quality power supply are essential for stable operation.

For users who require integrated graphics, this CPU includes the Radeon™ Graphics, which features 2 GPU cores. It operates at a base clock of 400.00 GHz and boosts up to 2200.00 GHz. This makes it suitable for systems without a dedicated GPU, capable of handling everyday tasks and running older or less demanding games. Integrated graphics can also accelerate specific workloads even when a discrete GPU is installed.
