AMD has just announced the two new 9000-series X3D chips we were hoping for, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D

AMD's X3D chips have long been some of the best for gaming because they stack tons of 3D V-Cache either on top of or underneath the processor, and games absolutely love all that cache. We had the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D launch late last year, this being the current best CPU for gaming, and now, AMD's just announced two even more powerful versions.

The two new chips, the just-announced AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D, should be available from Q1 this year.

They don't come as a complete surprise...
