AMD has presented during this past COMPUTEX 2024 its new processors with Zen 5 coresthe AMD Ryzen 9000 Series for desktop computers. A new generation coming with more powerful coresbut what AMD itself has confirmed that They will not be able to surpass the current AMD Ryzen 7000X3D series in terms of gaming performance.. All this despite the fact that these new Ryzen 9000 achieve an increase in the CPI of up to 35%.
But AMD itself has indicated that this increase in the performance of the new AMD Ryzen with Zen 5 cores will benefit those applications that make use of vector extensions like AVX512, but they will not significantly increase gaming performance. So, if you want to play and have an AMD Ryzen 7000X3D series, don’t expect greater performance with this new series.
But AMD too is working on processors with 3D V-Cache technology of the 9000 series, although these will arrive later. In AMD’s interview with Tom’s Hardware, the manufacturer has confirmed that It would also be possible to expand the L2 cache of the Zen 5 cores, in addition to doing it with L3. Although this is possible, the manufacturer has not confirmed that it will expand the L2 cache of the X3D processors of this next generation.
With this possibility in its pocket, AMD can not only expand the L3 cache up to 96 MB, but also could expand the 1 MB L2 cache that each Zen 5 core has. For this AMD would have to find a way to interconnect this SRAM L2 memory from stacked memory in a faster way with the one it does with the L3 cache.
This would be a solution to the comment that with Zen 5 we do not have to wait for performance gain in games as was done with Zen 4 by adding 3D V-Caché technology. At the moment there is no date for these new Ryzen 9000X3D processors that can clear our doubts, but it is possible that they will be ready even this year, coinciding with the launch of the new Intel Arrow Lake-S.
