AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X3D & Ryzen 9 7900X3D desktop CPUs featuring the 3D V-Cache tech on the Zen 4 architecture are now available for sale.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D & Ryzen 9 7900X3D Desktop CPUs With 3D V-Cache Technology Now Available For Sale

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. You can find the retail links from major retailers below:

The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 7900X3D combine great productivity performance with fast gaming performance while delivering some insanely good power efficiency. There's also the Ryzen 7 7800X3D which comes later but will be offering even better performance per watt and far better value to gamers. A few tech outlets simulated the performance of the 7800X3D CPU & it looks quite insane to be honest, more on that here.

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.

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.

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.
