AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D leak shows 5.65 GHz boost clock speed and 170W TDP

A leaked CPU-Z screenshot with AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor has surfaced online, revealing key specifications of the upcoming processor.

The screenshot, shared by @94G8LA, showcases an engineering sample of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. The screenshot shows that the CPU is identified as revision GNR-B0, with “GNR” standing for Granite Ridge, the codename for AMD's upcoming Zen 4 architecture for desktop processors. Moreover, it shows it has a 16-core, 32-thread configuration.

The screenshot also confirms the presence of AMD's 3D V-Cache technology, with the L3 cache section displaying “96MB + 32MB L3.” This aligns with expectations for a dual-CCD Granite Ridge CPU, where one CCD features 32MB of standard L3 cache plus a 64MB 3D V-Cache layer, while the other CCD has 32MB of standard L3 cache. This approach mirrors the design of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, offering a total of 128MB of L3 cache and 144MB of combined L3+L2 cache.

The leaked screenshot also hints at impressive clock speeds. The CPU-Z image shows a multiplier of 56.5, suggesting a boost clock of 5.65 GHz. This aligns with previous rumors that the Ryzen 9 9950X3D will maintain the same high frequencies as its non-X3D counterpart. Interestingly, the screenshot also reveals a TDP of 170W, which matches the non-X3D 16-core variant.

With the CPU specifications more or less set in stone, we are still unaware of its pricing. Hopefully, we'll know more about it when AM officially unveils the processor and the 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X3D at CES 2025.
