The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D is in a bit of an odd position... It does provide nice uplift over the Ryzen 9 9900X in a number of workloads, but it's also much more expensive than the 9900X. At $599 USD it's just $100 less than the 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D. In some workloads the Ryzen 9 9900X3D does outperform the Ryzen 9 9950X where the 3D V-Cache is really beneficial, but the rest of the time you're better off going for the Ryzen 9 9950X in costing $545~550 USD.
