AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D processor has been spotted on PassMark, indicating it will be the first PRO chip to feature 3D V-Cache technology. This new CPU also appears to break the previous 12-core limit for the PRO series, offering 16 cores and 32 threads. While benchmark scores suggest slightly lower performance than the non-PRO 9950X3D, this is likely due to power optimizations typical for PRO-series chips aimed at professional users. AI
