AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 feels like an open secret at this point, with the unannounced gaming CPU recently making an appearance in a recent Eurasian Economic Union (EEC) filing. While this listing doesn’t provide any insight into when this rumoured CPU could see the light of day, it’s the most official nod we’ve had from AMD that such a product exists.
Filed on January 23, the entry explicitly references Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 alongside publicly announced processors, including Ryzen 7 9850X3D and Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX. This is the strongest first-party evidence we’ve had of the processor’s existence, following online 9950X3D2 rumours that stretch back as early as October 2025.
For those out of the loop, leaks suggest AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 will finally deliver the first dual-CCD (Core Complex Die) AMD CPU to feature 3D V-Cache across both dies. This would afford the 16-core processor a colossal 192MB of L3 cache, a 64MB (+50%) improvement over the Ryzen 9 9950X3D.

Additionally, this design would theoretically eliminate the need to direct applications to particular CCDs, depending on whether higher clocks or cache provide the largest performance benefit. We’ll know whether this is truly the case if and when AMD confirms frequencies in the future.
At the time of writing, multiple Geekbench 6 benchmarks suggest AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 sports boost clock speeds of ~5.6GHz. This is 100MHz below the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, which could indicate that the larger pool of 3D V-Cache comes at a small cost to operating frequencies. Regardless, if we’re lucky, we’ll be able to make up the difference via manual overclocks.
Given the mounting evidence, it seems likely that AMD will launch the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 before the year is out. As for when the brand will reveal more about the processor, Computex 2026 seems likely, as the company launched its Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series at the tradeshow the year prior.
Before we get too excited, it’s important to remember that EEC filings are often just a result of companies covering their bets for product names, rather than representing final products. We still haven’t seen the GeForce RTX 5050 Ti, for example. I’m more confident that we’ll actually see the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 launch, but nothing is certain until AMD says otherwise.
In the meantime, we can look forward to the Ryzen 7 9850X3D. To make sure you don’t miss any launch-day coverage of that processor, and those to come, make sure you’re following Club386 on Google News. Don’t forget to set up the site as a Google Preferred Source too.
