3D V-Cache, an on-chip memory solution for improved performance that AMD recently updated for its soon-to-be-released Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, is expanding to not only Threadripper CPUs, but also AMD APUs, according to the latest rumors out of China. Chiphell’s zhangzhonghao, who says he received the news from supply chain sources, mentioned that the first APUs with 3D V-Cache will be exclusive to notebooks. Corroboration of 3D V-Cache in next-gen Threadripper CPUs comes by way of a BIOS manual that ASUS had uploaded to its website, one that notes 3D V-Cache options for the Pro WS sTR5 Series.
…AMD has re-engineered its cutting-edge on-chip memory solution with 2nd Gen AMD 3D V-Cache technology. The 64MB cache memory has been relocated below the processor, which puts the core complex die (CCD) closer to the cooling solution to help keep the “Zen 5” cores cooler, delivering high clock rates and providing up to an average 8% gaming performance improvement compared to our last-gen generation and up to an average 20% faster than the competition. This revolutionary change in placement allows for extreme overclocking of the processor. It’s the first X3D processor to be fully unlocked, empowering enthusiasts and gamers to push its performance to new limits.
