The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is real and spectacular. When Intel launched its flagship Raptor Lake Core i9-13900K/KS processor, it took away the best CPU for gaming from AMD. However, we all know AMD delivers his 3D V-Cache counterpunch and the Ryzen 9 7950X3D works on all fronts.
The $599 12-core 24-thread Ryzen 9 7900X3D has a boost clock of 5.6 GHz and 104 MB of cache (96 MB reserved for L3). The $699 Ryzen 9 7950X3D is a 16-core, 32-thread processor with a maximum boost frequency of 5.7 GHz and 144MB of total cache, of which 128MB is dedicated to L3 cache.
As we mentioned in our Ryzen 9 7950X3D review, this processor outperforms the Core i9-13900KS in gaming by an average of 12%. However, in some specific game scenarios the advantage exceeds 40%.
For enthusiasts looking for the absolute best performance in a wide range of games, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D and Ryzen 9 7950X3D are now available from various retailers.

The Ryzen 9 7900X3D is the cheapest of AMD’s two new 3D V-Cache offerings, and retailers are quickly running out of stock. It’s been used to boost the price of the chip compared to the $599 MSRP. We expect prices to fall once competitors’ inventories stabilize.
