As we have seen, Intel’s new-generation Raptor Lake processors are not an unqualified success… Particularly in games, where they offer no generational gains. Clearly, this is due to a problem in the bios, and the brand is due to propose a fix soon. The fact remains that AMD is on a roll, especially since the launch of its Ryzen 7 98003dX3D.
So we’re tempted to ask, why don’t they offer an X3D CPU ? It’s planned, but not for the consumer sector, according to Florian Maislinger (Intel’s head of technical communications) in an interview with Der8aeur and Bens Hardware.
Intel X3DCPU? It’s in the pipeline, but not where we think..
If TechpowerUp is to be believed, the blue guys are indeed working on processors whose L3 cache has been increased via a 3D V-Cache. However, the company is working on server CPUs, not consumer models. The aim is to launch these models by 2025, but nothing for the consumer sector for the time being.
However, don’t panic: we can well imagine the company trying its hand at 3D V-Cache in the professional sector. After that, we can well imagine the blueprints incorporating this technology for the general public in the future. In any case, given the performance gains in video games, it’s hard to imagine the company not offering X3D CPUs in its Core Ultra ranges.
It’s just that new technologies take time to master, integrate and produce. After all, AMD is now in its third generation of CPUs incorporating 3D V-Cache, and it’s only now that we can fully overclock them. That’s how far we’ve come.
