AMD announces three Ryzen 7000 processors with 3D V-Cache

AMD announces three Ryzen 7000 processors with 3D V-Cache

Not so long ago, AMD revealed new Ryzen 7000 processors with a lower TDP at 65W. Now the company is ready for more announcements. This time, AMD has shown a trio of Ryzen 7000 chips with a 3D V-Cache that should deliver a notably better performance in games and applications.

The new processors include the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Most of their specs are identical to the non-3D counterparts, except for TPD and the amount of cache. Ryzen 7000 3D models feature 120W TDP (50W lower than non-3D variants) and a significantly bigger 3D V-Cache.

Here are the specs:

Cores	Base Clock	Boost Clock	iGPU	Cache	TDP	Price
Ryzen 9 7950X3D	16C/32T	4.2GHz	5.7GHz	2-core AMD Radeon	144MB	120W	$699
Ryzen 9 7900X3D	12C/24T	4.4GHz	5.6GHz	140MB	$599
Ryzen 7 7800X3D	8C/16T	N/A	5.0GHz	104MB	$449

Interestingly, despite delivering a notable performance boost (AMD says the Ryzen 9 7950X beats the Intel Core i9-13900K in games), the new models with 3D V-Cache are priced the same as their "regular" counterparts at launch. Non-3D Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, and Ryzen 7 7800X will now be significantly cheaper.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D will go on sale on February 28, 2023. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D will be available on April 6, 2023. All three models come with a free copy of the Star Wars Jedi Survivor game.
