AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D AM5 Desktop Processor (5.5 GHz / 12 Cores / 24 Threads)

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a 12-core, 24-thread AM5 desktop processor built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture, fabricated on TSMC’s 4nm FinFET process and codenamed ‘Granite Ridge’. It is aimed at builders who want one chip that handles both high-frame-rate gaming and serious multi-threaded creator work, thanks to AMD’s stacked 3D V-Cache implementation that the ‘X3D’ suffix denotes. The chip runs at a 4.4 GHz base clock and boosts up to 5.5 GHz under load. Cache totals 140 MB – 128 MB of L3 paired with 12 MB of L2 – which keeps latency-sensitive game engines fed and reduces stalls in code that thrashes across large working sets. Thermal Design Power is rated at 120 W, and the multiplier is unlocked for users who want to dial in PBO or manual overclocks. On the platform side it drops into Socket AM5 with DDR5 memory support up to 192 GB. Verified motherboard compatibility per AMD/ documentation covers the A620, B650, B650E, B840, B850, X670, X670E, X870 and X870E chipsets, so it slots into both budget and high-end builds. Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics are die for display output and basic desktop use, which simplifies troubleshooting if a discrete GPU is being swapped. A CPU cooler is not included in the retail box – plan a third-party air tower or AIO rated for at least 120 W class loads. GeeksKart ships the genuine AMD retail SKU 100-100001368WOF (GTIN 730143315579) backed by AMD’s 3-year manufacturer warranty
