AMD expands its Ryzen 9000 PRO lineup with six new SKUs, now featuring 3D V-Cache for the first time — new workstation CPUs have up to 170W TDPs, available with

The Ryzen 7 PRO 99755X3D is the other X3D-branded chip in this lineup, housing 8x Zen 5 cores that can clock up to 5.2 GHz on a TDP of 120W. This chip has a 92MB L3 cache pool since there's only one 8-core CCD to stack the 64MB of 3D V-Cache under. You can also get the same CPU with just 32MB of L3 in the form of the Ryzen 7 PRO 9755, featuring otherwise identical specs to its X3D counterpart.

Lastly, the Ryzen 5 PRO 9655 enters the battle as a true midrange offering, sporting 6x Zen 5 cores with a 5.4 GHz boost clock but still a 120W TDP. That makes it quite unique from the other 6-core offering, the Ryzen 5 PRO 96455, which is limited to just 65W. For a while, all Ryzen PRO SKUs were restricted to that number to maximize efficiency, but it looks like AMD is changing gears to allow even relatively budget parts to consume more power. The Ryzen 5 Pro 9655 has 32MB of L3 cache as well.

That wraps up all the new SKUs, expanding the Ryzen 9000 PRO family to accommodate every tier of managed or workstation computing. Now, keep in mind that these CPUs aren't available for sale via regular retail channels. Instead, you'll find these at OEMs, such as Lenovo, which is already working to launch its ThinkStation P4 in Q3 2026. That's about all the details we have on availability, while pricing is never disclosed formally for PRO series SKUs anyway.
