🚀 AMD's Next-Gen CPUs: Introducing the 7950x3d, 7900 X 3D, and 7800 x3d

AMD made waves in September last year with the release of their 7000 series CPUs, which were praised for their improved performance over previous generations. However, Intel's 13th gen core processors posed strong competition. Determined to reclaim their position, AMD is now back with a range of new and improved Ryzen processors. In this article, we will dive into the performance of AMD's latest CPUs and explore how they can enhance your existing PC or provide the foundation for a next-gen 3xs Systems gaming PC.

😲 The Role of Cache Memory in CPU Performance

Cache memory plays a crucial role in CPU performance. It is a high-speed memory that stores frequently used data, offering much faster access times compared to system memory. The larger the cache, the more data can be stored temporarily, resulting in improved performance. However, cache memory is expensive to produce and takes up valuable space on the CPU die.

💡 AMD's Clever Solution: 3D V Cache

To overcome the limitations of traditional cache memory, AMD has introduced 3D V cache technology. This innovative approach involves mounting a separate die with a large extra watch of SRAM on top of the CPU die, above the existing level 3 cache. The 3D V cache acts as an extension of the on-die cache, significantly increasing its capacity.

🏆 The Design and Benefits of 3D V Cache

The three new CPUs in AMD's lineup, namely the 7950x3d, 7900 X 3D, and 7800 x3d, all feature the Zen4 architecture found in other Ryzen 7000 series processors. This means they can take advantage of DDR5 and PCIe5 technologies and are compatible with the existing AM5 motherboards with a BIOS update. However, what sets these CPUs apart is the addition of 3D V cache.

The flagship 7950x3d stands out with a whopping 128 megabytes of level 3 cache, compared to the standard 7950x's 64 megabytes. This significant increase in cache capacity promises to deliver improved performance for a wide range of workloads.

📊 Performance Comparison: AMD Ryzen 7950x3d vs. Existing Ryzen 7000s and Intel 13th Gen Core CPUs

To demonstrate the capabilities of AMD's new CPUs, we conducted benchmark tests comparing the 7950x3d against existing Ryzen 7000 series processors and equivalently positioned Intel 13th gen Core CPUs. Let's dive into the results and see how the 7950x3d performs across different benchmarks.

Cinebench R23

Cinebench R23 is a popular benchmark that measures a CPU's single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. In our tests, the 7950x3d showcased its raw performance by delivering comparable results to the standard 7950x in single-threaded rendering and only a slight six percent difference in multi-threaded rendering.

Blender

In the Blender benchmark, which tests the rendering capabilities of CPUs, the 7950x3d continued to impress. It exhibited only a four percent performance drop compared to the 7950x, further validating the significant improvements brought by 3D V cache.
