Up until now, AMD’s 3D V-Cache chips have mainly been geared toward gamers, but they’ve also gotten better at creative tasks over recent years. In ourreview of the Ryzen 9 9950X3Dlast year, Tom Warren crowned it “the best CPU for both gaming and creator tasks,” noting that it “greatly improves creator workloads” compared to theRyzen 7 9800X3D.According to AMD, the 3D V-Cache tech will be useful for “complex, data-intensive workloads such as simulation, rendering and real-time visualization.”Theexpanded Ryzen PRO 9000 series, built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture, includes chips with 6 to 16 cores and 12 to 32 threads, along with support for up to 256GB of EEC DDR5 memory and support for PCIe 5.0. AMD says only “select” models include the 3D V-Cache. The new chips will start rolling out in the second half of 2026, including the Lenovo ThinkStation P4, which AMD says will launch in Q3 2026.Follow topics and authorsfrom this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Stevie BonifieldAMDChipsGadgetsNewsTechMost PopularMost PopularGoogle announces its Chromebook successor: the GooglebookAndroid Auto is now one (screen) size fits allWhy does the Googlebook exist?Sam Altman was winning on the stand, but it might not be enoughThe 9 biggest new features in Android 17The Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to ourTermsandPrivacy Notice.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.Advertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
