AMD prépare 16 cœurs, 12-coeur, et Ryzen 7000X3D à 8 cœurs “Zen 4” Processeurs

AMD is firing full cylinders to release a new line of Ryzen 7000-series “Zen 4” Socket AM5 desktop processors featuring 3D Vertical Cache, il faut attendre la fin de. Faced with a significant drop in demand due to the slump in the PC industry, and renewed competition from Intel in the form of its 13th Gen Core “Lac des Rapaces” processeurs, the company is looking to launch the Ryzen 7000X3D desktop processors within January 2023, with product unveiling expected at AMD’s 2023 International CES event. The 3D Vertical Cache technology had a profound impact on the gaming performance of the older “Zen 3” architecture, bringing it up to levels competitive with those of the 12th Gen Core “Lac des Aulnes” processeurs, and while gaming performance of the Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” processors launched till take match or beat “Lac des Aulnes,” they fall behind those of the 13th Gen “Lac des Rapaces,” which is exactly what AMD hopes to remedy with the Ryzen 7000X3D series.

In a report, Korean tech publication Quasar Zone states that AMD is planning to release 16-core/32-thread, 12-core/24-thread, and 8-core/16-thread SKUs in the Ryzen 7000X3D series. These would use one or two “Zen 4” chiplets with stacked 3D Vertical Cache memory. A large amount of cache memory operating at the same speed as the on-die L3 cache, is made contiguous with it and stacked on top of the region of the CCD (chiplet) that has the L3 cache, while the region with the CPU cores has structural silicon that conveys heat to the surface. Sur “Zen 3,” le 32 MB on-die cache is appended with 64 MB of stacked cache memory operating at the same speed, giving the processor 96 MB of L3 cache that’s uniformly accessible by all CPU cores on the CCD. This large cache memory positively impacts gaming performance on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in comparison to the 5800X; and a similar uplift is expected for the 7000X3D series over their regular 7000-series counterparts.

The naming of these 7000X3D series SKUs is uncertain. It’s possible that the 16-core part is called the 7950X3D, and the 12-core part 7900X3D; but the 8-core part may either be called the 7700X3D or 7800X3D. Quasar Zone also posted some theoretical performance projections for the 7950X3D based on the kind of performance uplifts 3DV cache yielded for “Zen 3” in the 5800X3D. According to these, the theoretical 7950X3D would easily match or beat the gaming performance of the Core i9-13900K, which begins to explain why Intel is scampering to launch the faster Core i9-13900KS with a boost frequency of 6.00 GHz or higher. The report also confirms that there won’t be a 6-core/12-thread 7600X3D as previously thought.
