The Ryzen 9 9950X3D sports 16 cores and 32 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture, with 144MB of total cache (16MB L2 + 128MB L3). Ryzen 9000X3D processors are built using the second generation of AMD's V-Cache technology. This time, AMD has reversed the 3D stacking hierarchy with the SRAM block sitting below the heat-producing CCD for more thermal headroom

Thanks to the updated software stack, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D can have the same gaming performance as a single-CCD Ryzen 7 9800X3D when gaming or turn into a full-fledged 16-core powerhouse when you need the extra multi-core processing power for multi-threaded applications.
