Today we can finally share performance benchmarks of the long-rumored AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition processor. This new halo product for the Ryzen 9000 series desktop line-up offers captivating performance for developers frequently compiling code, creators, technical computing workloads for students or hobbyists or those not able to afford a Threadripper \/ EPYC type workstation, or similar heavy computing use. With the 16 cores \/ 32 threads and both CCDs having 3D V-Cache, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 offers leading performance among current generation desktop processors.<\/p>\n

\"AMD<\/p>\n

Last month AMD announced the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 that had been rumored in online communities for months for having both CCDs with 3D V-Cache compared to just one of the CCDs with the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition goes on sale tomorrow and is expected to retail for around $899 USD for this AM5 desktop CPU with a total cache size of 208MB.<\/p>\n

\"AMD<\/p>\n

In my testing the past two weeks with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, it’s been working out very well under Linux without any problems to note. With the current AM5 platform support very mature under Linux for a while now and the main Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 simply being more 3D V-Cache on both CCDs, there isn’t much to worry about from the Linux support perspective if you are running a modern Linux distribution. One little caveat\/pointer is that the AMD 3D V-Cache Optimizer Driver is still loading on the 9950X3D2 processor. That is the driver for CPUs with having just 3D V-Cache on some CCDs to select your frequency vs. cache preference for tasks under Linux. I’ve confirmed with AMD this driver has no actual affect on the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 for any cache vs. frequency preference since both CCDs are the same.<\/p>\n

\"AMD<\/p>\n

I have run more than 300 benchmarks of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 and other Ryzen 9000 series and Intel Core Ultra 2 series desktop processor benchmarks on Ubuntu 26.04 for today’s review.<\/p>\n
