AMD® Ryzen™ 9 9950X3D

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is a desktop processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, built on the Zen 5 architecture (4 nm process). It launched in Jan 2025. Clocks run from 4.3 GHz base to 5.7 GHz boost. A 128-MB L3 cache backs the cores (9.1 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 192 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the AM5 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (28 lanes). Rated TDP is 170 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, AVX-VNNI, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D scores 4,743 in single-core performance and 70,190 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 18,246 for overall performance, 52,264 for productivity performance, 47,142 for creator performance, 80,719 for engineering performance and 31,777 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 4,387 per core, 2,193 per thread and 413 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,399. Its performance index is 226, so its overall performance is 126% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D scores 242,808 in integer math, 159,561 in floating-point math, 906,226 in compression, 44,428 in cryptography, 5,662 in physics simulation, 72,873 in vector SIMD, 609 in the prime sieve and 95,294 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 312% above in integer math, 248% above in floating-point math, 297% above in compression, 287% above in cryptography, 419% above in physics simulation, 370% above in vector SIMD, 809% above in the prime sieve and 321% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
