AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition CPU is now available for pre-orders in China ahead of its 22nd April launch.
You Can Now Pre-Order AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition CPU In China - Deposit ¥100 & Get ¥300 Paid Back Towards The Final Price
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition CPU is coming and finally bringing dual 3D V-Cache dies to the mainstream AM5 platform. The launch has been much-awaited, and a few days back, AMD confirmed the price of the chip, which will be set at an MSRP of $899, making it the most expensive AM5 CPU to date.
While several global retailers have listed the CPU online, it looks like Chinese retailers are the first to open up pre-orders. The official AMD store at JD.com is currently listing the chip & asks users to make an initial deposit of ¥100 to secure a pre-sale entry. The ¥100 deposit will then act as a ¥300 amount towards the final purchase price, which is a nice deal. Although the official pricing of the chip will be around ¥6000, those who make a pre-sale deposit will be able to save around $30 US.
Additionally, AMD also offers some promotions to those making pre-orders, such as a ¥100 E-Card for posting a review online, along with the chance to enter a lucky draw to win a custom AMD Coffee Cup & an AMD-branded Electric screwdriver. It should be noted that the deposits are to be made by the 22nd of April, just a few hours before the official sales.
Additionally, AMD has also shared more benchmarks of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition CPU in its retail listing at JD. In the new benchmarks, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition offers up to 63% higher performance than the 9950X3D in SPEC POISSON (2D Equation Solving) benchmark, and 26% higher in OpenFOAM (Fluid Dynamics). The rest of the benchmarks also show a 6-13% improvement in overall performance.
The performance breakdown is as below:
SPEC CPU Benchmarks For Ryzen 99950X3D2 vs 9950X3D:
- Financial Services — 106%
- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning — 110%
- Energy — 113%
- CPU — 108%
- LAMMPS Atomic/Molecular Dynamics — 110%
- SRMP Seismic Data Processing — 110%
- MFEM Scalable Finite Element Analysis — 112%
- Numerical Science & Data Analysis — 113%
- OPENFOAM Computational Fluid Dynamics — 126%
- POISSON 2D Poisson Distribution Solver — 163%

While we don't expect to see any major differences in gaming performance or overall CPU capabilities versus the 9850X3D or 9950X3D, this AM5 workstation-class chip will show some huge improvements in niche cases that can utilize the secondary 3D V-Cache die (208 MB cache pool). For gaming, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D will remain the fastest on the market, but as an overall MT and Workstation optimized package, the new 9950X3D2 Dual Edition will find some very meaningful uses in Simulation, Rendering, and Financial Services workflows.
