  • The apparent Zen 5 desktop chip would be AMD's first 16-core PRO processor with 3D V-Cache, extending a lineup that previously topped out at 12 cores.
  • PassMark showed it 7.3% behind the Ryzen 9 9950X3D in multi-threading and 2.7% lower in single-threading, though the listing appeared to misreport L3 cache at 32MB.
