Today marks the retail availability of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D processors. At the top of the hour when the new AMD Zen 5 3D V-Cache processors went on sale, I found both the 9900X3D and 9950X3D in-stock and at MSRP pricing... Less than a half hour later, the 9950X3D is now out of stock while as of writing the 9900X3D remains in-stock at major Internet retailers at its $599 price point.

In case you missed it see yesterday's [1]AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Linux review with hundreds of benchmarks and CPU power numbers. Sadly, AMD isn't seeding the Ryzen 9 9900X3D for reviewers and thus this morning I was eager to buy a 9900X3D for Linux testing across a wide range of workloads. At 9AM EST I was able to buy the 12-core 9900X3D in-stock from NewEgg at $599 USD.

The Ryzen 9 9900X3D should be arriving tomorrow and thus on Friday or Monday will have out my initial Linux performance numbers for the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D on Ubuntu Linux. As of writing some 40 minutes later, the Ryzen 9 9900X3D remains in-stock at $599 USD. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D is also available via [2]Amazon.com (affiliate link) at $599 USD too with next-day delivery.

But the Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-core $699 processor has since sold out and currently not seeing it available at any US Internet retailer.

Stay tuned for the Ryzen 9 9900X3D Linux performance benchmarks in the coming days. For now check out the [3]Ryzen 9 9950X3D review . I also have [4]more Ryzen 9 9950X3D benchmark results for those interested and to [5]generate your own 9950X3D comparison against other CPUs.
