π° AMD finally nailed the dual-CCD X3D CPU, but the 9950X3D2 proves nobody needed it
Ever since AMD launched the 7950X3D, enthusiasts have been asking for a flagship CPU with 3D V-Cache on both CCDs. From a technical standpoint, this meant not letting Windows and AMD's scheduler decide which CCD should handle your games. Even though the 7950X3D and the 9950X3D had no trouble splitting workloads, core parking played a vital role in how they behaved compared to single-CCD X3D chips like the 7800X3D and 9800X3D.
