Leaked Nova Lake specs reveal up to 144MB of L3 cache, potentially aiming squarely at AMD’s gaming-focused X3D series.

AMD has now officially confirmed that its successful 3D V-Cache will come back in the next-gen Zen 4 and Zen 5 processors -- but there's a catch.

Using a mighty X3D CPU such as the 9950X3D, you'll have plenty of cache and specifically designed cores to handle intensive ...

Today, its 9950X3D and 9800X3D are the fastest gaming CPUs available, but AMD may be working on something even faster. Although it has previously suggested that 3D V-Cache on just one of the ...

AMD is reportedly preparing to bring its 3D V-Cache technology to its Zen 4 mobile CPUs, and it's about damn time! V-Cache equipped chips have been available for a long time in desktop and server ...

AMD made headlines this summer when it teamed up with Micro Center to offer a Ryzen 5 processor with 3D V-cache. The Ryzen 5 7600X3D debuted for $299 and featured a 64MB 3D V-cache chip.

As the name suggests, 3D V-Cache enables AMD to stack more cache on top of the CPU. The tech arrived on desktop processors last year, and soon you'll be able to pick up a laptop with a 3D V-Cache CPU.

The 3D V-Cache die is not as large as the core die, so AMD added additional structural silicon for support. Both dies were also thinned, meaning AMD doesn't have to change up its heatspreader design.

AMD calls the 3D cache a “chiplet,” or a component that it can drop into its processors. “We have unquestioned leadership, as third-gen Epyc currently owns more than 250 performance world ...

First-generation 3D V-Cache is good enough for a 2 TB/s peak throughput, AMD states, while data bandwidth is even higher (2.5 TB/s) on the second-generation variant of the technology.

As AMD's former director of technical marketing, Robert Hallock, told me back in May, the 3D V-Cache versions of the Ryzen 7000-series may not launch with the original 7000 series.

We don't know if AMD will bring Milan-X to market in 2021, but the company has now shown off 3D die stacking in another way. During her Computex keynote, Lisa Su showed a 5900X with 64MB of SRAM ...
