AMD has announced six new additions to its Ryzen PRO 9000 Series processor lineup, introducing 3D V-Cache technology to the professional segment for the first time. The new AM5 processors target managed business deployments and high-performance workstations, expanding the Zen 5-based family with higher 120W and 170W TDP options.
The flagship Ryzen 9 PRO 9965X3D features 16 cores, 32 threads, and a boost clock of up to 5.5GHz. It includes 128MB of L3 cache, serving as the professional-grade equivalent of the consumer Ryzen 9 9950X3D. A non-X3D variant, the Ryzen 9 PRO 9965, shares the same core count and 170W TDP but utilises a standard 64MB L3 cache pool.
AMD has also extended 3D V-Cache to the 8-core tier with the Ryzen 7 PRO 9755X3D, which offers a 5.2GHz boost clock, 96MB of L3 cache, and a 120W TDP. The lineup is rounded out by three additional 120W processors: the 12-core Ryzen 9 PRO 9955, the 8-core Ryzen 7 PRO 9755, and the 6-core Ryzen 5 PRO 9655. This marks a shift for the PRO series, which was previously restricted to 65W power envelopes to prioritise efficiency. The full Ryzen PRO 9000 lineup with the latest additions can be found below:
