Meanwhile, a third SKU, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, is in the works for April 6th. Both chips build upon their X-series predecessors by adding a further 64MB of 元 cache, bringing them to an impressive total of 128 MB of 元 cache. Tomorrow morning AMD will be releasing a pair of their latest-generation Ryzen 7000 chips with the extra cache stacked on, including the Ryzen 9 7950X3D (16C/32T) and the Ryzen 7 7900X3D (12C/24T). That brings us to today, and the impending launch of AMD's second generation of V-Cache equipped consumer chips, the Ryzen 7000X3D family. Ultimately, this multi-generational strategy for V-Cache was laid out in greater detail in AMD's 2023- 2024 desktop CPU roadmap, which outlined their intention to bring it to AMD's recently launched Ryzen 7000 series chips. Though the benefits of this stacked cache manufacturing strategy were limited with the initial generation of products, AMD's eye has been on the long game: V-Cache is forward-looking design that will pay off with bigger dividends for AMD over time, as they'll eventually be able to produce the V-Cache dies using older and cheaper manufacturing processes, optimizing their manufacturing costs while still being able to offer what is by CPU standards an absurd amount of 元 cache.
While hit-and-miss depending on the specific game at hand, in the right games and the right scenarios, the additional cache could provide a performance boost that even the highest-clocked CPUs couldn't match.ĪMD's initial implementations of V-Cache in the 5800X3D and its server counterpart, Milan-X, were just the tip of the iceberg for the company. The consumer implementation of AMD's then-new 3D stacked V-Cache technology, which allowed for greatly expanding the total 元 cache available on a CPU, the 5800X3D was primarily aimed at the gaming market, where the additional 64MB of 元 cache could be uniquely useful to improving performance in CPU-bound gaming workloads. Last year, AMD released its Ryzen 7 5800X3D to the market with 96 MB of 元 V-Cache.
