AMD said it would "simply be too expensive" and that "games would not benefit." It was, of course, talking about why it had never launched a dual CCD Ryzen desktop processor with 3D V-Cache on both chiplets. There was no technical barrier, just a matter of pointlessness. And yet here we are, with the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition. Yours for a mere $899.
For that princely sum of money, you're basically getting a Ryzen 9 9950X3D with 192 MB of L3 cache instead of 128 MB, a tiny 100 MHz knocked off the peak boost clock, and an extra 30 W slapped on to the TDP. The 9950X3D launched at $699, though you can often pick one up these days for around $60 less.
