AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D spotted on Passmark — company’s first PRO chip with 3D V-Cache also bumps the lineup up to 16 cores

A new Ryzen PRO series processor has appeared on PassMark with just three samples, but a very promising spec sheet. The Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D is a 16-core Zen 5 chip with 3D V-Cache, making it the first of its kind. It performs quite closely to the standard 9950X3D it’s based on, but likely has a lower TDP.
