VCache

AMD has revealed its first mobile gaming processor with 3D V-Cache. As the name suggests, 3D V-Cache enables AMD to stack more cache on top of the CPU. The tech arrived on desktop processors last year, and soon you'll be able to pick up a laptop with a 3D V-Cache CPU. This approach allows AMD to cram extra 64MB of L3 cache onto the Ryzen 9 7945X3D. For a total of 144MB. That helps mitigate the chances of cache miss. If your system can't find information it's looking for in the cache, it has to go to system memory. That…

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D MSRP $700.00 “Gaming, productivity -- the Ryzen 9 7950X3D does it all, assuming you can stomach its high price.” Pros Chart-topping gaming performance More efficient than base Ryzen 9 7950X Productivity performance keeps pace Unlocked for overclocking Cons…

The Ryzen 9 7950X has been AMD’s best processor for a while, but it now faces some serious competition. We don’t just mean AMD’s long-standing rival, Intel. AMD itself has created a CPU that might be even better than the flagship: the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Equipped with a massive 3D V-Cache, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D might turn out to be the world’s fastest gaming processor. AMD’s new processor isn’t here yet, so for now, we’re relying on the specs and AMD’s benchmarks until we have the processors in hand. Pricing and…

With last year's Ryzen 7 5800X3D, AMD turned its long-awaited 3D V-Cache technology into a reality. That innovation allowed the company to stack more cache onto its CPUs, something that's particularly helpful for demanding tasks like games. Unfortunately, AMD wasn't able to reach the same clock speeds as the original 5800X, which made the chip tough for some reviewers to recommend. Now, it appears that AMD has (mostly) solved that problem. Today at CES, AMD unveiled its first Ryzen 7000 CPUs with 3D V-Cache, the 8-core…

In addition to a slew of laptop CPUs and GPUs, AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su also made a variety of announcements about desktop and datacentre products at her CES 2023 opening keynote in Las Vegas. The top-end Ryzen 7000 X3D series CPUs with integrated 3D Vcache are billed as the world's most powerful CPUs for gaming, displacing the recently launched Ryzen 9 7950X at the top of AMD's stack. There are also new mainstream desktop CPUs with limited support for overclocking, which AMD promises will hit attractive price points. The new…

New AMD 7000X3D V-Cache CPUs could be shown as early as January 2023 at next year’s CES, promising big gaming performance gains and potentially wrestling the title of best gaming chip from Intel once more. The latest news comes from a supposedly leaked internal road map that reveals AMD is planning to unveil its next-generation 3D V-Cache CPUs based on the Zen 4 architecture at CES 2023. This information comes from Wccftech which has a good track record of uncovering insider information. The report goes on to suggest…

A well-known blogger has shared perhaps the first performance number of Intel's upcoming Xeon Platinum Sapphire Rapids processors with 60 cores and HBM2E cache.Some of Intel's customers already get PRQ versions (opens in new tab) of select 4th Generation Xeon Scalable Sapphire Rapids processors. Still, the launch of high-volume models has suffered a delay to late 2022, with a full-scale ramp now scheduled for 2023 as the company had to correct certain bugs in silicon and then re-qualify those CPUs with partners. Intel…

AMD launched the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in 2022, bringing the world’s first processor with 3D V-Cache to market. It’s an interesting CPU and sometimes outclasses the more expensive flagships from AMD and Intel. To understand why, you need to get up to speed on what AMD 3D V-Cache is, the performance it offers, and why it’s important. 3D V-Cache could be a major shift for AMD as we stare down Ryzen 7000 processors, and it could have an impact on many generations to come. We’re going to break down if it’s enough to make it to…

According to a new leak, AMD may be readying up some truly powerful Ryzen 7000 processors equipped with its 3D V-Cache technology. The rumor suggests that this time around, at least three CPUs are in the works, and they’re the top-of-the-line models, including the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 7 7800XD. Equipping the already powerful flagships with 3D V-Cache would pose a real threat to Intel’s top Raptor Lake CPUs. What can we expect from these gaming beasts? V95V9V8 — Greymon55 (@greymon55)…

AMD is rumored to already have a working Zen 4 3D V-Cache chip, suggesting that it hopes to deal a large blow to Intel sooner than expected. An early sample of the CPU blew its predecessors out of the water in certain benchmarks. If AMD is accelerating its launch strategy for the successor to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, should Intel be worried? Today’s leaks indicate the answer is a tentative “yes, it probably should.” Moore's Law Is Dead Leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead has just released an in-depth video about the upcoming…
