Rumored AMD Ryzen 7000X3D 3D V-Cache CPUs Will Be Unveiled At CES In 16, 12, And 8 Core Flavors
AMD is now rumored to be releasing the Ryzen 7000X3D 3D V-Cache CPU in three flavors, featuring 16, 12 and 8 core chipsets.
Rumored that AMD Ryzen 7000X3D 3D V-Cache CPUs will launch in three flavors, 16-core, 12-core and 8-core
The rumor comes from QuasarZone (@Harukaze5719) which states that the AMD Ryzen 7000X3D 3D V-Cache lineup will have at least three SKUs. Previous rumors pointed to an octa-core and 6-core variant, but the latest rumor suggests that there isn’t any 6-core variant in the lineup and that the family will consist of three SKUs, comprising 16 Core, 12 Core, and 8 core flavors. Based on the cardinal count, we can expect the group to have the following (expected) naming schemes:
- Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core (2-CCD)
- Ryzen 9 7900X3D 12-Core (2-CCD)
- Ryzen 7 7800X3D or Ryzen 7 7700X3D 8-Core (1-CCD)
If AMD kept the same 64MB per chip stacking design as the first-generation 3D V-Cache chips, Ryzen 7000X3D parts would end up with up to 192MB of L3 cache for the 2-CCD and 96MB of L3 cache. For 1-CCD SKUs. This is a 3x increase in the amount of L3 cache available for the chip versus non-X3D parts.
Additional information shared by the news outlet indicates that the AMD Ryzen 7000X3D 3D V-Cache CPU family will feature clock speeds close to or similar to non-3D parts. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D features a lower 400MHz base and 200MHz lower boost clock than a non-3D SKU. Upcoming 3D V-Cache parts that maintain similar clock speeds will definitely be a huge plus in terms of multi-core and single-core performance in applications that can’t make use of the extra cache.
Another thing that the previous generation V-Cache CPU, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, lacked was overclocking support, and to keep power draw (voltages) down, it had a lower clock rate versus parts without a V-cache. The Zen 4 V-Cache CPUs ease these voltage limitations, and while their speeds are expected to be lower than standard non-V-Cache parts, they will run at much higher speeds and the clock variance won’t be as significant this time around. We’ve also been able to confirm through our sources that all 3D V-Cache modules will be rated for 170 Watts. So it looks like the Ryzen 7 7800X3D name will have more meaning but the final naming scheme is yet to be decided.
As for the launch of these chips, AMD Ryzen 7000X3D 3D V-Cache is proposed to be revealed in January 2023 which is very much in line with our exclusive presentation which indicated the CES 2023 time frame. Do note that the chips will only be unveiled at the said event and the launch will be at a later date. .
