AMD reveals $899 price tag for Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 — first dual-cache X3D CPU is $200 more expensive than the Ryzen 9 9950X3D

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition desktop chip.

Following retailer listings popping up over the weekend, AMD has made the price of its upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 official. The CPU has a suggested retail price of $899, AMD's David McAfee announced today on X. That's $200 more than the Ryzen 9 9950X3D released at, and around $230 more than what that chip is selling for now. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 is set to arrive at retailers on April 22, and it will slot into existing motherboards with the AM5 socket.

This is AMD's first dual-cache X3D CPU, where it uses its 3D V-Cache packaging on both eight-core CCDs. Previous chips like the Ryzen 9 9950X3D only feature stacked cache on a single CCD, mainly to keep gaming performance in check, as inter-CCD communication can cause big spikes in latency.
