AMD is reportedly planning to release the Ryzen 5 9600X3D 3D V-Cache CPU with 6 cores targeted towards mainstream gamers.
AMD's 3D V-Cache "Ryzen" CPUs are some of the most sought-after chips for gamers. They offer tremendous value, performance, and efficiency in games and that's one reason why DIY audiences are flocking to buy them across the world.

Surely, the AM5 platform is a bit more costly but entry-level chips with strong game performance can bring a lot more DIY users to the new platform which will also carry on support for future generations of Ryzen 3D V-Cache chips.
As for the rest of the chips, AMD also has the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in the works which is the 8-core part and like the 9600X3D, will feature a single CCD with a singular 3D V-Cache stack. The
