The 9900X3D adds 3D V-Cache to a twelve-core design: 128MB of L3 for the games that love cache, plus twenty-four threads for rendering, encoding and compiling. Windows and AMD's chipset driver park the non-cache cores during gaming so titles run on the V-Cache die, then release the full twelve for productivity. For one machine that has to do both at a high level, this is the most complete answer AMD offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRead this before choosing it over a 9800X3D\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn pure gaming the eight-core 9800X3D is usually equal or slightly ahead, because all its cores sit on the cache die and nothing needs scheduling around. You're paying the extra for the four additional cores in productivity work — if you don't do that work, save the money. Keep the AMD chipset drivers current, since the core-parking behaviour depends on them. 120W, no cooler included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e128MB L3 cache via AMD 3D V-Cache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12C\/24T — X3D gaming with real multi-threaded headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.5GHz boost with PCIe 5.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic core parking keeps games on the cache die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Radeon graphics for display-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D (100-100001368WOF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCores \/ Threads: 12 \/ 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase Clock: 4.4 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Boost Clock: Up to 5.5 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL2 Cache: 12 MB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL3 Cache: 128 MB (AMD 3D V-Cache)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Graphics: AMD Radeon Graphics (2 GPU cores, 2200 MHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefault TDP: 120 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess Node: TSMC 4nm FinFET (CPU cores), 6nm (I\/O die)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: DDR5, dual channel, up to 256 GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCI Express: PCIe 5.0 (28 lanes total, 24 usable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlocked for Overclocking: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBundled Cooler: Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation and case badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooler sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy AMD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining stacked cache with a twelve-core layout is a genuinely difficult piece of engineering, and nobody else ships it.
