128 MB of L3 with 3D V-Cache

Stacked cache keeps more game data beside the cores for high-frame-rate play with a top graphics card.

Rendering & Streaming

16 Cores, 32 Threads

The same core count as the 9950X handles rendering, encoding and streaming, so one PC covers both gaming and creative work.

❓ Hardware Q&A & AHW Store Policies

Technical configurations, cooler recommendations, warranty, installments, and shipping

Does this processor include a cooler?
No. AMD ships no thermal solution with this CPU and recommends a liquid cooler for optimal performance. Choose one from our CPU Coolers ↗.
Which motherboards are compatible?
Any Socket AM5 board on A620, B650, B650E, X670, X670E, B840, B850, X870, X870E chipsets. Browse Motherboards ↗.
What memory should I use?
Dual-channel DDR5 up to 256 GB; AMD rates DDR5-5600 with two modules, and AMD EXPO profiles are supported. See RAM ↗.
Does it have integrated graphics?
Yes. AMD Radeon Graphics with 2 graphics cores at 2200 MHz handles setup and everyday display output, including USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode on supporting boards.
What does 3D V-Cache do for games?
AMD stacks extra L3 cache on the processor, so far more game data stays next to the cores instead of waiting on system memory, which mainly helps games that are sensitive to memory latency.
What warranty does AHW Store provide?
Genuine product with authorized warranty and local technical support. Details in our Warranty Policy ↗.
What payment and installment options are available?
Cash on delivery, cards, and installments through ValU, Sympl, Forsa and banks. See Payment Methods ↗.
How fast is shipping and delivery across Egypt?
Orders are delivered within 2 to 7 business days across all Egyptian governorates in secure armored packaging (with pickup available from our 6th of October headquarters). See our Shipping Policy ↗.
Can AHW Store build a complete PC?
Yes, through our Custom PC Builder ↗, with the system tested before shipping.
What is the return policy?
Returns follow our published policy and its conditions. Read the Refund Policy ↗.
