From CNET: AMD added a few details to the picture it has painted of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which the company claims is currently the world’s fastest gaming processor.
Specifically, AMD fleshed out the expected performance difference between the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and the Core i9-12900K, Intel’s rival 12th-gen “Alder Lake” processor.
Though AMD will begin shipping the Ryzen 7 5800X3D on April 20, the chip is already well known. A “backpack” of 64MB of bonded V-Cache bumps up the chip’s total level-3 cache to a total of 96MB, which provides an enormous performance advantage over a chip like the standard Ryzen 7 5800X, which might spend a relatively lengthy amount of time hunting down data from a PC’s main memory. The 8-core/16-thread chip runs at a base clock of 3.4GHz and a boost clock of 4.5GHz.
