2 min readKey summary
A PassMark entry has surfaced for AMD’s Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D, pointing to a 16-core, 32-thread PRO desktop CPU.
It appears to be the first PRO-series chip with 3D V-Cache, though the cache and power figures may not be fully reliable.
Early benchmark results place it below the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, so the leak should be treated cautiously.
If real, it would extend AMD’s PRO lineup beyond 12 cores and offer a stronger work-and-play option for professionals.
