Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 leak claims 250W PPT
A new post from HXL that the upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 will move to 200W TDP and 250W PPT.
AMD’s own product page lists the new Dual Edition at 200W TDP, up from 170W on the standard 9950X3D. What AMD has not publicly listed on that page is a PPT figure. According to HXL that figure is 250W, reportedly 50W higher than existing 16-core X3D SKU, the 9950X3D.
In case you are not familiar with what PPT, AMD refers to this as Package Power Tracking, which is basically total socket power. In reality, the 9950X3D can reach a 230W power ceiling, based on reviews.
9950X3D: 170W TDP，200W PPT
9950X3D2: 200W TDP，250W PPT— HXL (@9550pro) April 18, 2026
Ryzen 9000 power mappings
- 65W TDP = 88W PPT
- 120W TDP = 162W PPT
- 170W TDP = 200-230W PPT
- 200W TDP = 250W PTT 🆕
As things stand, the highest stock PPT for Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs is 230W on AMD’s 170W models such as the Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9950X3D. The rest of the stack follows the usual ladder, 120W parts at 162W PPT and 65W parts at 88W PPT.
We have already seen the 9950X3D2 appear in leaked HWBOT tests . What was claimed was that stock settings with an air cooler showed a max wattage reaching 220W.

I’m not sure how many Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 users will try to overclock this CPU or push it to its maximum PPT. Unlike the 9950X3D or 9850X3D, the new dual 3D V-Cache SKU is not aimed directly at gamers. It is positioned more toward workstations and power users, who may actually have a use for all 16 cores.
