AMD shows off two prototype Ryzen 5950X3D and 5900X3D processors with 192MB L3 cache

AMD introduced the technology 3D V-Cache with the Ryzen 5000 series with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and the EPYC server processors. With the new generation of Zen 4 cores, it has also wanted to launch some products with this technology, both the Ryzen 7000X3D for domestic use such as EPYC as its Genoa-X series for servers. The first processor for home use that was launched with this technology has been alone for a long time, although the Gamer Nexus channel has shown prototypes of a Ryzen 9 5950X3D and a Ryzen 9 5900X3D which ultimately were not marketed.

These prototypes had 192MB L3 cache, a different configuration with respect to those released so far. This difference is found in that these prototypes had a cache stack soldered to each available CCDmaking a total of 96+96 MB, compared to the 96 MB available as “extra” in the commercial versions that only have this stack on one of the two CCDs. AMD would have ruled out this cache design on the two CCDs as it did not offer a clear advantage with respect to the configuration with cache in a CCD, thus achieving a better balance between efficiency and performance.

Now it is said that AMD wants to offer a second life to owners of socket AM4 motherboards, offering an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D cheaper and optimized for games.
