I have a 5950x that is now a few years old and I planned to upgrade to a 9950x.

I have never had one of the 3D V-Cache processors and am curious how it would improve the benchmarks for my multi-threaded data management system that does many operations against a set of 4K blocks of data.

I heard rumors that a 9950x3D version will be available in January. I am trying to figure out if I should wait.
