During the early hours of last Wednesday, the 4th, the AMD held a presentation to reveal its new Ryzen 7000 line processors during CES 2023. The main launch is with the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, which returns with the 3D V-Cache technology. However, the red side did not stand still and announced two more models with this feature.
The line of Ryzen Raphael CPUs has just gained a very important increase with the arrival of the Ryzen 7000X3D and its cache stacking technology in vertical format. In short, this feature allows the manufacturer to place memory structures on top of each other on the chip, improving bandwidth speed and communication with other parts of the processor.
The Ryzen 9 7950X3D, the most powerful product in the lineup, operates with 16 cores, 32 threads, a frequency of 5.7Ghz, and an unreal 144 MB of Cache, resulting from the stacking technique. Because of this, it is very likely that this will be the fastest processor for games available.
Younger brother, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D has a slight Cache reduction, dropping to 144MB, in addition to the 12 cores, 24 threads and 5.6 Ghz clock. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the most modest of the family, with only 8 cores, 16 threads, 5.0 Ghz frequency, 120W TDP and 104 MB cache.
AMD/disclosure
In terms of performance, AMD comments that the Ryzen 7800X3D has 21% to 30% gains in games when compared to the previous generation Ryzen 7 5800X3D. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D, on the other hand, arrives to clash with the Intel Core i9-13900K, and has a performance increase of up to 24% in some scenarios.
The Ryzen 7000X3D processors will be launched on the global market in February, but prices have not been announced so far.
