Ryzen 9 Dodeca-core (12 Core) 9900X3D 4.4 GHz Desktop Computer Processor

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D sits between the 9800X3D and the 9950X3D — twelve Zen 5 cores with AMD 3D V-Cache, for builds that need more multi-threaded capability than an 8-core part but don't require the full 16-core flagship.

The stacked 3D V-Cache keeps gaming latency low, while the extra cores over the 9800X3D give you more room for streaming, encoding, and running demanding applications alongside a game.

Why choose this chip

• 12 cores, 24 threads — a strong middle ground for mixed gaming and content creation workloads
• 3D V-Cache — 128MB of L3 for high frame rates in CPU-bound games
• Boost to 5.5 GHz — strong single-threaded performance for applications that need it
• Fully unlocked — overclocking and Precision Boost Overdrive supported
• Modern platform — AM5 with PCIe 5.0 and DDR5
