However, new data suggests an expansion of the series. A Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D processor has appeared in the PassMark database. It combines Zen 5 architecture and 3D V-Cache technology and offers 16 physical cores.
The entry indicates 32 MB of L3 cache, while the consumer Ryzen 9 9950X3D has 128 MB. This is likely a measurement error or incorrect memory detection in the testing software.
Tests show that the new product is 7.3% slower in multi-threaded tasks and 2.7% weaker in single-threaded tasks than a similar consumer chip.
This is explained by the power profile: the business line is traditionally limited to 65W, while consumer versions operate at 170W, which directly affects performance.
However, rumors previously suggested that this processor might have a 170W limit, so the final specifications are not yet confirmed.
In any case, the Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D looks like a powerful solution for professionals with an emphasis on performance and enterprise security features.
