AMD has officially confirmed the launch date and prices of its Ryzen 7000 X3D lineup including the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 7900X3D & Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPUs.

AMD Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs With 3D V-Cache Start At $449 US, Launching On 28th February

The AMD Ryzen 7000 3D V-Cache CPUs are the 2nd generation consumer V-Cache parts featuring stacked cache. While the Zen 3 lineup featured just one 3D V-Cache SKU, the Zen 4 lineup is getting three SKUs at vastly different prices.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D - 16 Cores With 144 MB Cache

Starting at the top, we have the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D which will be the flagship and the first 16-core CPU to feature 3D V-Cache technology. The chip will incorporate a total of 32 threads, a total of 144 MB cache (64 MB CCD, 64 MB V-Cache + 16 MB L2), and a TDP of 120W. As for the clocks, the chip is rated at a base clock of 4.2 GHz which is 300 MHz slower than the standard 7950X but boost clocks are rated at the same 5.7 GHz. This should give us a hint at why the TDP is 50W lower versus the Non-3D part.

The way AMD is arranging the 3D V-Cache structuring on the Ryzen 9 X3D parts is by putting the SRAM cache on a single CCD instead of both CCDs. This way, AMD can maximize the performance in gaming through a single CCD while retaining the secondary die to benefit from the higher clock speeds (1T). This means that there should be a balance of single-threaded gaming performance & multi-threaded applications without sacrificing overall clock speeds like the previous gen. This is first and foremost a gaming chip so the cache die is the more important aspect to optimize. It'll be rather interesting to see how things pan out in the final retail units and just how far AMD enables tuning on the new parts.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D will feature a price of $699 US at launch which is the same MSRP that the standard 7950X had before it was slashed down to $599 US. The CPU will be available on the 28th of February.

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D - 12 Cores With 140 MB Cache

The second chip is the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D which will feature 12 cores and 24 threads. This is also a 2 CCD configuration with one CCD configured with the V-Cache and the second without it. The chip features a total of 140 MB cache (64 MB CCD, 64 MB V-Cache + 12 MB L2). The clocks are rated at a 4.4 GHz base which is 200 MHz slower than the Non-3D SKU & the boost clock remains the same at 5.6 GHz. The CPU is also rated at a TDP of 120W.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D will feature the same pricing as the now 7950X at $599 US and will be launching with the 7950X3D on the 28th of February.

Lastly, we have the successor to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. This CPU is going to be the ideal choice for gamers with 8 cores, 16 threads, and the same 104 MB of cache (32 MB CCD, 64 MB V-Cache + 8 MB L2). The CPU comes with a base clock of around 4 GHz which could end up at least 500 MHz slower than the Ryzen 7 7700X and a boost clock of 5.0 GHz which is 400 MHz slower than the Ryzen 7 7700X.

Lastly, we have the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D which will be launching on the 6th of April for a price of $449 US.
