Background on AMD Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs
AMD's Ryzen family of desktop processors has been a solid mainstream workstation CPU line for many years now. The Ryzen 9000 Series continues to improve upon AMD's chiplet design with the new "Zen 5" architecture built on a 4nm manufacturing process. This iteration is mostly focused on increasing efficiency, by reducing power usage, with only modest performance gains over the previous Ryzen 7000 Series. Of course, all of AMD's core features including Turbo Core, SMT, support for DDR5 memory, AVX-512, and PCI Express 5.0 are still present. Together, these efficiency improvements and features create a great foundation for workstation PCs.

AMD's Ryzen X3D processor models have a larger-than-normal amount of fast cache memory attached to the CPU, increasing performance in certain types of applications. The trade-offs include higher manufacturing cost, additional power usage / heat output, and lower boost speeds than non-X3D models. When using software that can benefit from the extra cache, though, these are a great choice!
