Redditor Orders AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition, Receives Standard 9950X3D Instead

A Reddit user in Canada received the wrong CPU after ordering an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition from Amazon Canada. The box arrived sealed, but the processor inside was a standard Ryzen 9 9950X3D.

Wrong CPU arrives in sealed box

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition carries a hefty price tag of 900 USD (about $900). The user paid that amount but got a different chip.

Amazon Canada is processing a return for the customer and has promised the issue will not recur. The company did not explain how the wrong CPU ended up in a sealed box.

It remains unclear whether the mix-up was a packaging error at AMD or a case of tampering after the seal was applied. The user noted the heatspreader on the received CPU reads 9950X3D, not 9950X3D2. AMD has not commented on the incident.
