It is a gesture of love that AMD has just made since the reds have just confirmed the official commercial launch of Ryzen 7000X3D presented at CES for February 14, 2023 … That is to say the day of Valentine’s Day. For those who missed the announcements, the “big” Ryzen doped with X3D cache should be 3 with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D and the “big” Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
The first of the series, the 7800X3D, could take over from the 5800X3D and become the ideal choice for those who want to build a gaming machine. Featuring 8 cores, 16 threads and 104 MB of cache (32 MB CCD, 64 MB V-Cache + 8 MB L2), this processor comes with a base clock of around 4 GHz and a boost to 5.0 GHz. Those looking for the little beast will have realized that these frequencies are notoriously lower than those of the Ryzen 7700X. However, we know that the addition of the cache adds serious thermal constraints to these X3D CPUs.
Regarding performance now, AMD announced that it will break the bank and that it simply had the new champion processors for games. However, the figures and graphics presented at CES have made the sharpest fans react. Many doubts about the reality of the comparisons have been raised since then. The positioning of the cache also raises questions about latency, a critical element for gaming. In short, we can’t wait to test these new processors and to see how they are positioned in the AMD price list.
