Full description and specifications

Sixteen cores and 128MB of V-Cache — the only chip that tops both the gaming and the rendering charts.

Quick Specs

  • 16 cores / 32 threads, 4.3GHz base, up to 5.7GHz boost
  • 144MB total cache (16MB L2 + 128MB L3 with 3D V-Cache)
  • 170W TDP, AM5 socket, DDR5 up to 256GB
  • PCIe 5.0, 28 lanes; Radeon graphics on board
  • No cooler included

No compromise left to make

The 9950X3D pairs the 9950X's sixteen Zen 5 cores and 5.7GHz boost with 128MB of 3D V-Cache. In games it sits alongside the 9800X3D at the top of the charts; in Blender, Resolve, Premiere and compile benchmarks it delivers full sixteen-core throughput. Windows parks the non-cache cores when a game launches and frees all sixteen when you go back to work. If one machine has to be the best at everything, this is it.

What that costs you

Price, first — this is the most expensive consumer AM5 chip, and for gaming alone the 9800X3D matches it for a fraction of the money. Second, thermals: 170W with cache stacked on the die needs a 360mm AIO to hold clocks under sustained multi-core load, and nothing is included. Third, keep AMD's chipset drivers updated, because the core-parking scheduler is what makes the dual-die design behave. Buy it for a genuine dual-purpose flagship build.

Questions

Before you buy

Which motherboards will this CPU fit?
It uses the AM5 socket, so it needs a motherboard with a matching socket. Sockets are not cross-compatible - a chip will not physically fit a board built for a different one. Every motherboard we list shows its socket on the Specifications tab, and it is worth checking the board maker’s support list for a BIOS update if the board is from an earlier generation than the chip.
How many cores and threads does it have?
16 cores and 32 threads. Cores do the work; threads are the number of jobs the chip can keep in flight at once. Games lean on a handful of fast cores, while rendering, compiling and video export scale with the total count.
What sort of cooler does it need?
It is rated at 170W TDP, which is the heat a cooler has to carry away under sustained load. Match or beat that figure with the cooler you choose, and check the What’s in the box list above - some processors ship with a cooler, some do not. Our PC Builder only offers coolers that fit the socket you have picked.
Do I need a separate graphics card with it?
No - this processor has integrated graphics, so it will drive a display on its own. You still want a graphics card for gaming or GPU-accelerated creative work, but the machine will boot and run without one.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
