Launch of AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 7900X3D with stacked cache

With up to 140MB of cache, thanks to stacking technology, the new Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 7900X3D arrive by taking the gaming performance crown

Announced during CES 2023, the first models of the new AMD Ryzen 7000X3D CPU family, featuring 3D V-Cache stacked cache technology, hit stores this Tuesday (28). according to the company had detailed in his presentationthe first two models to be released are the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 7900X3D, which are aimed at enthusiasts and professionals who see benefits in the combination of more cores and caches, with reviews showing both are champions in terms of performance and efficiency.

More powerful model, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is, as the name suggests, a solution based on the Ryzen 9 7950Xcurrent flagship of OMG, thus being supplied with 16 cores and 32 threads. With the addition of 64 MB of 3D V-Cache, the novelty goes from a total of 80 MB to an impressive 144 MB of cache (L2 + L3), mainly benefiting games, although some professional tasks, such as compression and decompressing files, see also improvements.

This is due to more instructions being held close to the cores, preventing the CPU from having to access the much slower system RAM memory to fetch data, resulting in increased performance. Adding cache also has an impact on power consumption and threshold temperature, which drops from 170 W 95 ℃ to 120 W 89 ℃, even if the boost clock remains at 5.7 GHz — the reductions are not necessarily a problem, considering the efficiency that Zen 4 cores shown in Ryzen 7000 family reviews traditional.

For those who don’t need the maximum that the line has to offer, or still want to save money, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D based on the Ryzen 9 7900X arrives as an option, bringing 12 cores and 24 threads. The 64 MB of 3D V-Cache bring the total cache from 76 MB to 140 MB (L2 + L3), but also in this case there are reductions in consumption and temperature, which drop to the same 120 W and 89 ℃ of the more powerful brother , with the boost clock remaining at 5.6 GHz.

Ryzen 9 7950X3D is a champion in gaming

The first reviews of the new Ryzen processors with 3D V-Cache were published this Monday (27) and concern only the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. As pointed out by some leaksthe solution impresses and binds or even surpasses the rival Intel Core i9 13900K in games, making it the most attractive option for those who want maximum performance in games.

CPU performance is also highlighted in tasks and professional benchmarks — as expected, due to power and temperature constraints, there is a noticeable loss in these scenarios compared to the 7950X, with the Core i9 13900K opening up a good lead. However, this loss is not that sudden. regarding what happened with the Ryzen 7 5800X3Dthe first chip of the brand with stacked cache, which makes the 7950X3D an interesting model also for professionals, especially for those who play in their free time.

That said, what really impresses is the efficiency and the low level of heat generated by the chip, which even with simpler heatsinks manages to maintain controlled temperatures even in the most intense tasks. With a simple air cooler, the channel Hardware Canucks observed highs reaching 89℃, but with no loss of performance compared to a heavy duty 360mm water cooler.

Other vehicles have also found that the component consumes half the power of the i9 13900K in some scenarios, including gaming, while some of the channels have simulated what the Ryzen 7 7800X3D could offer by disabling one of the CCDs (the chiplets that make up the CPU), concluding that the gaming public should wait for the arrival of the simpler CPU given the very high prices of the Ryzen 9 series launches.

In parallel to this, some optimizations implemented in the new BIOS dedicated to the Ryzen 7000X3D family have been confirmed. The motherboard chipset will work with the operating system to evaluate each running task and forward processing to the optimal CCD – only one of the two CCDs featured on the new Ryzen 9 features 3D V-Cache. This way, tasks that benefit from the extra cache are routed to the CCD with 3D V-Cache, while those requiring higher clocks are routed to the CCD without the technology.

It is important to note that this optimization is user-configurable in BIOS and only works for Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 7900X3D, since Ryzen 7 7800X3D has only one CCD, which has the additional cache. As a complement, the 7900X3D in particular has an interesting core configuration made to take advantage of the different CCDs: each of them has 6 cores activated, symmetrically, instead of having 8 cores in one and 4 cores in the other, as occurs on the traditional 7900X.

price and availability

The new AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 7900X3D are available for purchase now with MSRPs of $699 and $599, respectively. In Brazil, the processors can be found in preorder with rather high prices, starting at R $ 5,199.90 for the 7900X3D and R $ 5,999.90 for the 7950X3D.
