New Benchmarks for AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Spotted as Hopes Increase for a Debut at CES

At this point its no secret that AMD is readying refresh parts for its AM5 lineup, and now the only real question is when they will be revealed.

This'll be a fun one.

My bet is that... most of the folks that clamored for such a SKU will find that AMD made the correct choice by not prioritizing it. But I'm looking forward to seeing which workloads benefit do benefit.

Unless they improve the cross ccd performance I suspect gains if any will be minimal for gaming workloads.

The potential gain I see would be if the game misfires and runs off the CCD without cache, then this would fix any game misfiring off the wrong CCD at least. It's why people love the 9800X3D; they are guaranteed to always get the X3D benefits, no chance of hitting the wrong CCD.

The problem is, that this won't fix the cross-CCD issues that @Grimlakin mentioned.

Like yeah, if the threads assigned to different CCDs don't need to talk to each other too much, it'll help (or not hurt). But if they do?

Better to not have the second CCD in use in the first place.

AMD I think is still behind Intel in making sure that stuff goes to the best place to run it.

The gaming drivers feel solid. When I fire up a game all load moves to the x3d ccd. All other cores are parked. Basically my 16 core processor becomes 8 when I game. I would prefer the gaming load be on one ccd and non gaming on tne other... but that doesn't appear to be the case.

AMD just needs more cores per CCD

That's Zen 6, strongly rumored to be moving to 12 'large' cores per CCD from the current eight. Would also be nice to have a second CCD with Zen6c cores in a dual-CCD part, with another 16-20 cores.

That is an interesting idea. 12 large cores for 24 threads with x3d v cache. And 24 compact cores for 24 threads for light work computation. If they can identify what threads needs what processors and keep.thwt division up under heavy load that would be awesome. I just worry that the scheduler would need custom code from the processes to know.

Case in point oracle code needs special oracle firmware for large rac implementations otherwise your processor 0 gets bogged in scheduling and slows the entire rac.
