Overview
- The dual 3D V-Cache flagship is now in Amazon’s top-10 best-selling CPUs at $899, outselling many Intel chips on that chart.
- Early reviews report only small performance bumps over the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and several outlets said AMD did not supply them with day-one samples.
- ASRock says overclockers using its X870E Taichi OCF board set world marks in PCMark 10 Express and GPUPI v3.3 CPU tests with the 9950X3D2.
- Overclockers AKM and l0ud_sil3nc3 posted the top PCMark 10 Express result for a 16-core CPU and number-one GPUPI scores, in runs tailored for extreme cooling and power.
- Amazon’s current top sellers are heavy on AMD’s X3D lineup, with chips like the 9800X3D, 9850X3D, 9950X3D and 7800X3D also high on the list.
