The war between Intel and AMD will intensify in the coming months with the launch of the thirteenth generation Core processors and the Ryzen 7000. However, Lisa Su’s company is preparing a vitaminized version of its next processors. Which will combine the V-Cache with the Zen 4 architecture. Well, we can finally know the performance that the future ones could have Ryzen 7000 3Das well as its potential release date.
AMD’s V-Cache technology expands the capacity of the processor’s last-level cache by placing an SRAM memory chip on top of the processor and vertically interconnecting with the chips that contain the processor’s cores and cache. Doing this helps improve processor performance by increasing the chances of data being inside the processor and therefore reducing data access time. The consequences of it? A considerable improvement in the performance of the processor, since the instructions take less time to execute and consequently the programs run faster.
30% additional performance on Ryzen 7000 3D with V-Cache
The best AMD processor today, in terms of power per core, is the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the reason for this is the inclusion of V-Cache that increases its performance by an average of 15% over the original version of the processor. This brings the performance of said processor closer to that of the future Ryzen 7000 with Zen 4 architecture. Well, we know from a road map of Lisa Su’s own company that we are going to see repeated the same move with the Ryzen 7000 3D.
The question is though, will we see a performance boost of the same caliber? At the moment the few leaks speak of an improved V-Cache, which will continue to be manufactured under TSMC’s 7nm node, but will allow higher clock speeds. All this in performance will result in a 30% improvement over conventional models. To all this we must add that in the list of Ryzen 7000 processors the 7800X has not been seen, but the 7700X. Is AMD reserving for its version with vertical cache? Who knows.
As for the release date, do not expect it before April 2023. In any case, we are eager to see which brand will be the winner when it comes to performance. Since the one that gets the best results in the different games will be the one that will get all the attention of a market as demanding as PC gaming.
AMD and ASUS will implement the Dynamic OC Switcher
And to finish and totally changing the third, AMD socket AM5 motherboards will incorporate certain improvements in overclocking. This yes, for the moment we will only see this on some ASUS motherboards and we cannot guarantee that it will appear on those of other brands, but since it is a functionality implemented from the chipset it is possible that its adoption will be majority . Although, on the other hand, we do not believe that we will see them in cheap models, since it is a functionality that games will benefit from above all.
What does it consist of? Well, in the ability to turn off the processor’s multithreading to raise the clock speed of each core. Bear in mind that the vast majority of games today do not manage to take advantage of more than 8 threads of the processor and, therefore, many of them are theoretically left unoccupied without doing anything. And with this we are increasing the power available per process. So in games that already have some experience or that require few cores, they will see an improvement, especially those of Electronic Sports. Which has been baptized by ASUS and AMD as Dynamic OC Switcher.
