AMD already sells some of the best CPUs on the retail market. However, hardware leaker chi11eddog claims that the chipmaker might capitalize on the success of the Ryzen 9000X3D series and introduce two more models to the already diverse family.
The new processors will continue to utilize the Granite Ridge silicon with Zen 5 execution cores. One of the two rumored models will reportedly have 16 cores with simultaneous multithreading (SMT), a configuration similar to the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the regular Ryzen 9 9950X. However, the most surprising feature resides in the L3 cache. According to the leaker, the 16-core X3D part will reportedly employ a dual CCD (Core Complex Die) configuration. While AMD has previously released Ryzen chips with dual CCDs, the chipmaker has never slapped 3D V-Cache on both CCDs.
