AMD’s 9950X3D2 Appears at UK Retailer: £830, Stock Ready, NDA Lifted
The first concrete pricing for AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition has emerged from a major UK retailer. Overclockers UK staff member Gibbo posted on the company’s official forums that the 16-core, dual-3D-V-Cache processor is currently priced at £829 including VAT, and that the pricing NDA has lifted as of today.
Notably, AMD has still not provided a confirmed MSRP for the chip, which is scheduled to launch on April 22. In the absence of official guidance, Overclockers UK has set its retail price based on what the store paid for its stock—which the retailer says it already has on hand.
A Premium Over the 9950X3D
If the £829 figure holds, the 9950X3D2 would land approximately £130 (or 19%) above the original Ryzen 9 9950X3D, which launched in the UK at £699. That premium reflects the additional 3D V-Cache on the second chiplet, which brings total L3 cache to 192MB (208MB including L2) and pushes TDP to 200W.
Retailer Will Adjust Downward if Needed
Gibbo added that if AMD later publishes a lower official MSRP, Overclockers UK will try to match it. This suggests the current £829 price may be a cautious placeholder based on wholesale costs, and that final consumer pricing could move depending on AMD’s official announcement.
The product page is set to open orders on April 22 at 14:00 UK time, coinciding with the global launch date.

What This Means for Buyers
UK buyers now have the clearest signal yet of what the 9950X3D2 might cost. While £829 is a significant jump over the 9950X3D, it’s lower than the eye-watering £906 placeholder seen at another UK retailer earlier this week. For enthusiasts needing maximum cache for gaming or workstation workloads, the premium may be justifiable.
Still, with no official MSRP from AMD, buyers should treat the £829 figure as retailer-derived pricing, not an AMD mandate. The situation may evolve between now and April 22.
