AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 shows up at retail ahead of April 22 launch
The first retail listings for AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 have started to appear ahead of launch. Screenshots shared with us show Canadian pricing around $1,375, while a UK listing shows the processor at £906. Those numbers are far above what most AM5 buyers would expect, and for now they look more like placeholder entries than final street pricing.
AMD has already confirmed the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition will be available starting April 22, but the company still has not announced the official MSRP. That makes these early store pages difficult to treat as final pricing.

The 9950X3D2 is AMD’s first desktop Ryzen CPU with dual 3D V-Cache. In simple terms, AMD took the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D design and enabled stacked cache on both 8-core CCDs, not just one. That pushes the chip to 16 cores, 32 threads, 192 MB of L3 cache, 208 MB total cache, a 5.6 GHz boost clock, and a 200W TDP on the AM5 platform.
That also explains why this part will almost certainly sit above the regular Ryzen 9 9950X3D in AMD’s stack. The standard 9950X3D launched with 16 cores, 32 threads, up to 5.7 GHz boost, 128 MB of L3 cache, a 170W TDP, and a $699 launch price.
