"For the first time, AMD is including its 3D V-Cache tech in its commercial workstation processors with a refreshed line of Ryzen PRO 9000 series chips. 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."
"According to AMD, the 3D V-Cache tech will be useful for "complex, data-intensive workloads such as simulation, rendering and real-time visualization." In our review of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D last year, Tom Warren crowned it "the best CPU for both gaming and creator tasks," noting that it "greatly improves creator workloads" compared to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D."
"The expanded 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."
AMD is adding 3D V-Cache technology to commercial workstation processors for the first time through a refreshed Ryzen PRO 9000 series. The lineup uses AMD Zen 5 architecture and includes models with 6 to 16 cores and 12 to 32 threads. Systems can support up to 256GB of ECC DDR5 memory and include PCIe 5.0 support. AMD states that only select models include 3D V-Cache. The technology is positioned for complex, data-intensive workloads such as simulation, rendering, and real-time visualization. Rollout is planned for the second half of 2026, with the Lenovo ThinkStation P4 expected in Q3 2026.
