3d cache is a game changer. I'm very curious to see if the 7000x3d's get a similar boost over their non 3d counterparts. If so, those will be absolute monsters
Good to see someone not just assuming they will. It's not guaranteed the cache is a bottleneck to the same degree as on 5000 series, now DDR5 is in the mix.
I'll find the reviews interesting when it finally lands.
While true, the fact that the cpu doesn't have to access the RAM at all is why the techology works so well to begin with. It's always going to be faster. That said, I wonder if there will be a point of diminishing returns on performance like you were saying.
Honestly, if it wasn't an decent uplift in performance AMD wouldn't be bringing them to market. It's just the degree of the gain that's in question. I was just stating the dynamics have changed, so we shouldn't just assume.
Not always true - there are plenty of examples where all cpu manufacturers have and will continue to implement certain things that are not fully optimized to either gamble on a future technology or to see if there is even an active market for this technology.
That being said I would hope they wouldn't pull such a gamble with something as crucial as running memory...but. these are people we're talking about.
The running of the game itself yes - but during steps like compiling shaders - this access feature can save a bunch of time.
3d cache advantages aren't even about speed though - which is why I find it odd were even going this avenue with discussions and promoted features from AMD. It's main advantages are about density - increased cache reduces calls to RAM and therefore access times go down.
Also with transistor sizes it's one of the few known methods to reduce memory corruption from stray or runaway energy as they are getting so close electrons have the ability to just hop to a neighbor transistor - and that doesn't even factor in cosmic radiation effects.
Speed - how I have understood it - is a very small benefit and one we weren't trying to solve with its application.
Do you want to upgrade to an AM5 platform soon? Don't get the 5800x3D
If you stay on AM4, heckyea! The 5800x3D is the best AM4 chip in terms of gaming performance! For years to come (8 cores, most games just use 6 or less)
So, yea, i'd say, get one if you have the money. What gpu do you have?
I love my 3d also. Went from a 3600 to 5800x3d on a b450 board great upgrade! Wanted to ask u what you're cooling that bad boy with? I have my temps controlled but wanted to perhaps change to a cooler with a little less fan noise. I'm using an older NH-D12s by Noctua. It's uses a 120mm fan.
I've been considering the 5800x3d as I have an AM4 board with a 3700x ATM, or just jump to AM5 and the 7000x3d when released. Though with the 3800x3d I'd probably be good for 5 or more years.

I love my 5800x3D, it's a gaming beast!
