AMD Ryzen 7000X3D Series Reveal by CES 2023?
We already know that AMD is working on a variant of the “Zen 4” CPU complex die (CCD) featuring 3D Vertical Cache (3DV-cache) memory, through company roadmaps, and AMD even confirmed to us that the technology continues to be a part of the client roadmap of the company. We’re now getting news that the first Ryzen 7000X3D (“Zen 4” with 3DV cache) processors could be unveiled by the 2023 International CES (January next year). It appears like while the conventional Ryzen 7000 series beats the 12th Gen Core “Alder Lake” at gaming, it might trade blows with the 13th Gen “Raptor Lake,” and AMD will count on the 3DV cache technology to give it a competitive edge.
Greymon55, a reliable source with AMD leaks, hints at the possibility of three 7000X3D-series SKUs: the Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8-core/16-thread) positioned above the 7700X; the Ryzen 9 7900X3D (12-core/24-thread), and the Ryzen 9 7950X3D (16-core/32-thread). Older reports suggest the 3DV cache on these processors will be a generation more advanced to keep sync with the on-die L3 cache of the “Zen 4” CCD, and the L3D (the die on which the 3DV cache is located), will likely be built on the 6 nm process.
