Discussion The 9950X3D2 thread - The most divisive CPU ever. Period.

[Fjodor2001]

This is admirable optimism.
Unfortunately, dr. Lisa Su is still the CEO of AMD.

Regarding the ~$700 price for Zen6 24C/48T, I was referring to this from another thread:

[NVL-S 52C 288 MB bLLC will be] $50 less than the Zen6 48-core X3D CPU.

$699 [for NVL-S 52C 288 MB bLLC]

So based on that it would mean $749 for Zen6 24C/48T X3D. And the regular non-X3D variant will then be cheaper than that.

Why are you quoting all three of us like you can add our three opinions to arrive at some conclusion? lol

Well, you’re free to state an exact price estimate instead of a relative one if you want to.

Loser pricing does not reflect the winner pricing at all.

This was the cpu AMD didn't want to make, yet people begged them to make.
So they made it going see, you don't want it do you.

Now it probably killed all hopes at Threadripper getting X3D, as they will assume the same thing.
Although they should of made this a threadripper cpu, and not a Ryzen, and probably would of sold more.

Was about to write this as soon as I saw it. Some common sense in this post, like, what?

Dear AMD, Please ignore these people. I and I bet many others who actually wanted to use this CPU for what it's good at are very pleased with it so far. The only real complaints are slightly too high on the price, $800 made more sense, and way too late in the Zen 5 lifecycle.

Please make it again. If you can't keep the price down, at least don't make us wait over a year.

It's this high to normalize higher ASPs.
Cuz OMR actually costs a solid chunk more in BOM and you *will* pay the Lisa tax (but so will I. fair's fair).

Appreciate if you can add your Epyc 4585PX in this graph, assuming you have the data available.

I had it in one of the earlier graph in linked thread, but removed it since it basically show the same as the 9950X3D2.


All the data points in available, so its really easy to ask AI to make a chart for you 😉

Friendly reminder that the first part of the Zen 5 X3D life cycle was marked by supply issues (relative to demand). They could have launched this part in H2 2025 though, by that time prices had settled down towards MSRP or lower, indicating steady supply.
