AMD is updating its Ryzen 9000 desktop processor lineup with two new models, the Ryzen 7 9750X and Ryzen 5 9650X. Both chips lack 3D V-Cache, featuring the standard Zen 5 CCD with 32 MB on-die L3 cache. These processors implement significant clock speed increases and higher thermal design power (TDP) levels.

The Ryzen 7 9750X is an 8-core/16-thread processor with a base frequency of 4.20 GHz and a maximum boost of 5.60 GHz, up from the 3.80 GHz base and 5.50 GHz boost of the Ryzen 7 9700X. It ships with a 120 W TDP, a substantial increase from the 9700X's 65 W TDP. The 9750X TDP exceeds the 105 W BIOS mode previously offered for the 9700X.

The Ryzen 5 9650X follows as a 6-core/12-thread chip with a 4.30 GHz base and 5.50 GHz boost, surpassing the 3.90 GHz base and 5.40 GHz boost of the Ryzen 5 9600X. It retains the full 32 MB L3 cache available to all six cores. Pricing details are not yet disclosed, though the new chips are expected to slightly displace the 9700X and 9600X from their current price points.
