Is AMD preparing more X3D processors?According to the prolific leaker, the answer is probably yes Greymon 55 (Opens in a new tab) (via Techpowerup (Opens in a new tab)). Ryzen 7 5800X3D (Opens in a new tab) So far, it is the only CPU with V-Cache. Proven to be an excellent gaming CPU that surpasses Intel’s powerful 12900KS (Opens in a new tab) Cash-sensitive title. The 5800X3D has some flaws, but if AMD chooses to release it, there is one CPU that can go up above all else.
The best option is 5600X3D. The 6-core / 12-thread CPU is fully executable with the current title and adds 64MB of L3 cache on top of 32MB of base 5600X. (Opens in a new tab) It provides 96MB of L3 cache. Same as 5800X3D.
However, the 5800X3D was flawed due to the fact that its clock was lower than that of the 5800X. Its low clock impacted performance in non-gaming applications. In other words, it was an inappropriate choice for a general-purpose CPU compared to the 5800X. There are two main reasons why AMD chose to lower the clock on the 5800X3D. First, technology is new. Higher power, heat, and current combinations could damage the delicate silicon penetrating vias used to connect chiplets and caches, and AMD was simply conservative.That was also a strong reason to disable overclocking (Opens in a new tab).. The second reason is that the 5800X3D (when clocked like the 5800X) may encounter the platform’s default 142W package power limit.
The 5600X skips the second reason. This is a 65W CPU with a package power limit of 88W. So AMD should have no problem clocking 5600X3D, which is the same height as 5600X. Even with the TDP set to 95W, the total power of the package is well below the maximum 142W. This means you get all the generic performance of the 5600X while maximizing cache-filled game performance. The 5600X3D with a 5600X clock boosts up to 4.6GHz. This is 100MHz faster than the 5800X3D. Such CPUs can quickly become budget game champions if properly priced, but more than that, at least up to Zen 4, the fastest of all CPUs in the game, including the 5800X3D. Become. (Opens in a new tab) And 13th generation CPU (Opens in a new tab) Will be launched.
Why does AMD do this? Rumor has it that it refers to Zen4, which only supports DDR5. Depending on the speed of Zen 4, the 5600X3D offers an attractive upgrade path for AM4 gamers. This means you don’t have to buy a new motherboard and DDR5 memory.
Imagine you’re using something like a B450 motherboard with a Zen 2 (or Zen 1) CPU. Updating the BIOS and dropping the 5600X3D and next-generation GPUs will significantly improve performance while maintaining cost efficiency.
This all depends on the performance of Zen4. We can be confident that AMD will not enjoy the release of the 5600X3D unless Zen 4 is well above all Zen 3 models. On the contrary, Intel’s 12th generation CPUs are already competitive, and 13th generation and Zen4 CPUs are free to compete for their own blockbusters.
I focused on the fictitious 5600X3D. There is no reason why AMD couldn’t offer 5900X3D or 5950X3D. Or is there? It returns to the total power consumption limit of 142W for the package. This is not the maximum CPU TDP at 105W, but the total short-term package power that the Ryzen 5000 CPU can derive. These restrictions apply to motherboard manufacturers and system integrators, so VRM systems and cooling systems are built to support everything up to the 5950X. It’s possible to overclock over 142W, but I don’t think AMD will enjoy moving over 142W with stock operations.
I go back to my point that the 5600X3D will be the jewel of the CPU. It appeals to budget-conscious users and gamers of the AM4 platform. It may operate at a higher clock than the 5800X3D. This leaves the 5900X and 5950X as logical multitasking and productivity options, making them the fastest gaming CPUs. It’s important for AMD to offer another round of “fastest gaming CPU” PR when launched ahead of Zen 4.
But does AMD do that? If Zen 4 is significantly faster in the game than 5600X3D, there’s no particular reason why it isn’t. What about the 5950X3D with a 256MB L3 cache? Sounds great, but AMD certainly has to downclock the 5950X3D too much, negating the advantage of having all of these high performance cores in the first place.And the 5950X has never really been advertised as a gaming CPU (Opens in a new tab) for now.
Come to AMD and give me a 5600X3D. Fast and power efficient, it offers a very attractive upgrade for AM4 gamers. The platform many years ago still has some tricks. How about Zen 4 AM4 CPU?
