Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D Spotted on PassMark as AMD’s First 16‑Core PRO Chip With 3D V‑Cache

Early benchmarks trail the 9950X3D slightly with cache and power details still unverified.

Overview

  • The PassMark entry lists a Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D with 16 cores and 32 threads, marking the first 16‑core model and first X3D part in AMD’s Ryzen PRO desktop line.
  • Recorded scores show 4,614 in single‑thread and 65,111 in multi‑thread tests, which is about 2.7% and 7.3% behind the consumer Ryzen 9 9950X3D.
  • The database reports only 32MB of L3 cache, which outlets say likely reflects a detection error for the added 3D V‑Cache rather than the chip’s true cache size.
  • The processor’s power target is unclear, as PRO chips often use 65W parts while past leaks pointed to 170W for this model and neither figure is confirmed.
  • Just three samples are logged so far, and if the listing holds, the chip would sit above the 12‑core Ryzen 9 PRO 9945 and could bring cache‑boosted performance to OEM workstations.
