AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Shows Near-$1,000 Placeholder Prices Ahead of April 22 Launch

Early retailer pages point to a premium tier for AMD’s first dual 3D V‑Cache desktop chip.

Overview

  • Listings for the new CPU that surfaced Sunday on Canadian and UK sites showed prices around US$958 to US$1,196.
  • PC-Canada.com and ShopRBC displayed CAD $1,373 to $1,375, and UK retailer GamingKit briefly showed £905.82 with VAT and £725.40 without it before removing the page.
  • Retailers indicated the figures were placeholders under embargo, and none of the pages accepted orders.
  • AMD confirmed a 16‑core, 32‑thread design with 208 MB of cache, 4.3 GHz base and 5.6 GHz boost clocks, and a 200 W TDP that will require robust cooling.
  • The stacked 3D V‑Cache adds extra memory on the processor to speed games and content work, leaving buyers waiting for AMD’s official price.
