It was just last year that AMD made a move that surprised many gamers and was giving the Ryzen 7 5800X a taste of Ryzen 9’s 3D V-Cache and for now 2022’s Zen 4 generation, they are not waiting for their 2nd year to receive them.
The Zen 4 family is still not a half a year old and AMD already gave Ryzen 7 and 9 their respective 3D V-Cache capacity.
The 16-core 32-thread 7950X3D at $699 and the 12-core 24-thread Ryzen 9 7900X3D that weighs in at $599. The eight-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 7800X3D arrives on April 6 for $449 and will be available starting February 28th.
As a reminder on why gamers decided to wait a bit, 3D V-Cache allows AMD to stack additional memory on top of the processor. While PCs typically have many gigabytes of random-access memory, this memory is much slower to access than the ultra-fast memory used for caching built into CPUs, whileHigh-end CPUs typically have 10s of megabytes of cache memory.
Ryzen 9 7950X3D has 144MB of 3D V-Cache, 9 7900X3D will ship with 140MB Ryzen 7 7800X3Dwill ship with 104MB.
