News AMD Shows Off Original Ryzen 9 5950X3D V-Cache Prototype

[Admin]

AMD showed off prototype 12-core and 16-core 3D-VCache designs in an interview with Gamers Nexus, showing it could have produced high-core count Ryzen 5000X3D CPUs if it wanted to.

Unless there are more cache-intensive bottlenecks discovered, going for a dual-CCD 3D V-cache solution will make little sense in the "consumer" desktop space. The technology can only become more useful if there is a use case for it.

These are just engineering sample chips, leftover silicon. Highly unlikely AMD plans to release these chips for the DIY market.

Flight Simulator has proven to absolutely love cache

many games do.

but as they said the latency hit wouldnt make it worth it.

Oh man I would totally buy one if it were made. It would extend the life of my X570 system significantly.

I wish AMD would launch these old 3d v-cache parts. While on a x670e system myself and I wouldn't need one, alot of my clan members in Clan Atomic are running x470/570 chipsets. I know my clan mates would gobble these up.

I'm looking at upgrading my AM4 rig to AM5 when Ryzen 8000 is out next year. But if AMD did launch say a 5950X3D that would make it so I could keep my existing components longer. One thing is for sure is that my B450 board is definitely nearing the end of its' lifespan.

wait for 8950x3d !!

mind you there must be diminishing returns on cache at some point !!
where is just doesnt make the game any better !!

These where actually, engineering left-overs. I mean the best Ryzen CCD's go normally through the Epyc line, the Ryzen's we get are qualified enough but nothing gets lost in the proces really. Engineers are the one's who get to play with these models, and figured out the performance benefits on Games in particular.

Alverson and Mehra didn’t disclose AMD’s exact reasons for not shipping out 12-core and 16-core Ryzen 5000X3D CPUs

It's not hard to figure out why: Thermals, clock speeds, and price. It's the same reason the 7800X3D is the buy over the higher core count X3D variants, because outside games, home applications are held back by the lower clock speeds more than they benefit from the extra cache, and this is on top of the reduced clock speeds of higher core count CPUs (although the 5950X has a higher rated boost speed than the 5800X, it doesn't reach it), and the already narrowed market for CPUs with more than 8 cores in the home market without the benefits of more prosumer CPUs like Threadripper (more PCIe lanes, for example).
