ICYMI, AMD Claims to have Caught Up with Core i9-12900K Gaming Performance Even Before Zen 4

The Ryzen 3000XT line of processors were the kind of stop-gap products that make people wary of stop-gap products, and AMD plans to remedy this. The new Ryzen 7 5800X3D is an upcoming Socket AM4 processor designed with the singular purpose of matching the Intel Core i9-12900K "Alder Lake" processor at gaming performance, so Intel doesn't have free reign until much later in the year, when AMD debuts "Zen 4" and AM5. It's also a means for AMD to signal consumers as well as investors to the sheer engineering depth the company enjoys these days.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D isn't a a 5800X with an insane CPU overclock that throws efficiency out of the window. In fact, it has lower clocks! Instead, it leverages a new feature addition AMD did to its existing "Zen 3" microarchitecture, called 3D Vertical Cache. This is basically 64 MB of fast SRAM physically stacked on top of the CPU core die (CCD), giving it 96 MB of last-level cache. The company has already debuted this with its EPYC "Milan-X" enterprise processors, and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D would be the first client-segment product with this CCD.
