That AMD is planning a dual-die Ryzen CPU with added 3D V-Cache goodness on not just one but both CPU core tiles has been rumoured for some time. But now we have apparent further details of the chip, including naming and claimed clockspeeds. Oh, and there's an updated and higher-clocked single-die V-Cache Ryzen chip, too, to sit above the existing Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

According to X leaker chi11eddog, up front and centre we have the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, a 200 W, 16 core, 32 thread beast of a CPU. In really simple terms, it's similar to the the existing Ryzen 9 9950X3D. But as the rather ungainly "2" tacked onto the end of the model name implies, it gets another slab of 3D V-Cache added to the second CPU tile, otherwise known in AMD parlance as a CCD or Core Complex Die. The 9950X3D only has V-Cache on one tile.
