First announced at CES in January, AMD’s planning to shake-up its Ryzen CPU lineup with a new model that bundles in the company’s new 3D V-Cache solution – one that uses vertically-stacked cache to provide lots of it. This chip is called the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and compared to the regular 5800X, this latest chip offers triple the cache, putting it at 96MB. To help put things into perspective, it wasn’t until recently that our desktop CPUs featured more than 16MB of L3 cache. Current Intel 12th-gen Core models peak at 30MB, while AMD has sat a bit higher, with 32MB. What’s all of this extra cache going to do for you? Well, the reviews should help sort that out. If you ask AMD, the primary advantage will be with gaming, leading the company to call the 5800X3D the “world’s fastest gaming CPU” – hinting that it’s up to 15% faster than the Ryzen 9 5900X.
