Not so long ago, AMD revealed new Ryzen 7000 processors with a lower TDP at 65W. Now the company is ready for more announcements. This time, AMD has shown a trio of Ryzen 7000 chips with a 3D V-Cache that should deliver a notably better performance in games and applications.
The new processors include the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Most of their specs are identical to the non-3D counterparts, except for TPD and the amount of cache. Ryzen 7000 3D models feature 120W TDP (50W lower than non-3D variants) and a significantly bigger 3D V-Cache.
Here are the specs:
| Cores | Base Clock | Boost Clock | iGPU | Cache | TDP | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 9 7950X3D | 16C/32T | 4.2GHz | 5.7GHz | 2-core AMD Radeon | 144MB | 120W | $699 |
| Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 12C/24T | 4.4GHz | 5.6GHz | 140MB | $599 | ||
| Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 8C/16T | N/A | 5.0GHz | 104MB | $449 |
Interestingly, despite delivering a notable performance boost (AMD says the Ryzen 9 7950X beats the Intel Core i9-13900K in games), the new models with 3D V-Cache are priced the same as their "regular" counterparts at launch. Non-3D Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, and Ryzen 7 7800X will now be significantly cheaper.
The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D will go on sale on February 28, 2023. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D will be available on April 6, 2023. All three models come with a free copy of the Star Wars Jedi Survivor game.
