Improved Thermal Management: The second-generation design’s placement of the cache beneath the cores aids in better heat dissipation, allowing for higher operational frequencies without compromising stability.
Overclocking Capabilities: The refined architecture and improved thermal properties enable processors like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D to support overclocking, providing users with the flexibility to customize performance
AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology is an innovative approach to enhancing processor performance by vertically stacking additional cache memory onto the CPU die. This design increases the amount of L3 cache available, reducing data access latency and improving overall processing efficiency, particularly in data-intensive applications like gaming and content creation.
Evolution of 3D V-Cache:
First Generation: Introduced with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the initial implementation of 3D V-Cache added 64MB of L3 cache stacked on top of the existing 32MB, totaling 96MB. This configuration significantly boosted gaming performance by allowing faster access to larger data sets.
AMD’s second-generation 3D V-Cache technology represents a significant advancement in processor design, enhancing performance and efficiency across various computing tasks.
Second Generation:
This iteration builds upon the original 3D V-Cache by introducing a novel architectural approach that optimizes thermal management and processing speeds. In the second generation, AMD has repositioned the 3D V-Cache beneath the CPU cores.
This strategic placement improves heat dissipation, allowing for higher clock frequencies and enhanced performance. By relocating the cache, the thermal load on the processor cores is reduced, leading to more efficient cooling and the potential for increased processing speeds without compromising stability
The second-generation 3D V-Cache technology provides processors with a substantial amount of additional L3 cache. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D features a total of 144MB of cache, significantly boosting data retrieval speeds and overall performance.
The Zen 5 architecture, underpinning processors like the Ryzen 7 9950X3D, brings several cache-related improvements:
L1 Cache: The L1 data cache per core has been increased from 32KB to 48KB, with associativity rising from 8-way to 12-way. This expansion enhances data retrieval speed and efficiency.
L2 Cache: While maintaining a 1MB size, the L2 cache’s associativity has doubled from 8-way to 16-way, improving data access patterns and reducing cache misses.
L3 Cache: Each Zen 5 Core Complex Die (CCD) contains 32MB of L3 cache shared among its eight cores. In 3D V-Cache CCDs, an additional 144MB of L3 cache is placed beneath the cores. This configuration reduces latency and boosts performance in cache-sensitive tasks
Shared Specifications:
Architecture: Both processors utilize the Zen 5 microarchitecture.
Core and Thread Count: Each has 16 cores and 32 threads.
Clock Speeds: Both have a base clock of 4.3 GHz and a boost clock up to 5.7 GHz.
TDP: Both processors have a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 170W.
The new processors are designed to deliver an average 16% increase in Instructions Per Cycle (IPC) performance over the previous Zen 4 architecture. This improvement means that, at the same clock speeds and core counts, Zen 5 chips are 16% more efficient, though actual gains will vary depending on the workload. Unlike the more incremental updates seen in past Zen iterations, AMD positions Zen 5 as a significant generational leap over Zen 4, highlighting substantial architectural advancements.
AMD’s desktop Zen 5 processors, codenamed Granite Ridge, represent the latest in the company’s high-performance consumer lineup. In this article, we’ll focus on the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. Since Zen 5’s architecture was already introduced with Strix Point, our focus here will be on the key differences between AMD’s mobile and desktop Zen 5 cores. With a higher power budget and no die space allocated to an NPU, the desktop Zen 5 variant benefits from increased cache, an enhanced floating-point unit (FPU), and higher clock speeds.
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D continues AMD’s chiplet-based design, a hallmark of its desktop processors since Zen 2. It features two Core Complex Dies (CCDs) connected to an IO die, which houses the memory and PCIe controllers along with other essential IO functions.
While AMD has refined its architecture with each generation, the 9950X3D builds on those advancements. Each CCD contains eight Zen 5 cores and 32MB of shared L3 cache, maintaining the baseline established with Zen 3. The IO die, carried over from Zen 4, provides DDR5 support and includes a small integrated GPU. All these components are linked together by AMD’s Infinity Fabric interconnect.
AVX-512 Implementation
AMD has traditionally taken a conservative approach to ISA extensions, with vector extensions being a key example. Athlon processors executed 128-bit SSE instructions as two 64-bit micro-ops until the launch of Phenom in 2007. Native 128-bit execution remained standard until Zen 2 arrived in 2019.Zen 4 marked a shift from this trend by executing 512-bit operations in a single micro-op, though with one notable exception
Zen 5 pushes this evolution even further, adopting a split approach to AVX-512. The desktop variant leverages its larger power and area budget for a more aggressive AVX-512 implementation, while the mobile version takes a more conservative route. Compared to its mobile counterpart, desktop Zen 5 features several key differences:
- Fully 512-bit vector register file entries
- FP units with full 512-bit vector width
- Lower FP add latency, reduced from 3 cycles in Zen 4 and mobile Zen 5 to 2 cycles
- Improved data cache throughput, supporting 2×512-bit loads per cycle (compared to just one on Zen 4 and mobile Zen 5)
- Potentially expanded mask register file entries

The AMD X870E chipset will be based on the same Promontory 21 chip as the various variants of the B650, X670 and X870 chipsets. In this case, however, it no longer requires mandatory USB4 support. So what is the difference compared to B650? The boards using the old chipset usually only support PCIe 4.0 ×16 for a graphics card and sometimes PCIe 5.0 ×4 for SSDs – but often the M.2 slots only support PCIe 4.0 ×4. The new B850 platform changes this, with B850 boards requiring one of the M.2 slots for SSDs should to support PCIe 5.0 ×4.
Some boards may also support PCIe 5.0 ×16 for a graphics card, but this is optional (not mandatory). The important thing is that it is not prohibited, though, so there may be some boards that provide this (but not USB4, which would separate them from X870). By the way, leaked documents from May talked about the Gen5 support situation being the other way around, with PCIe 5.0 for graphics cards and PCIe 4.0 for SSDs. The current version of the specs is likely a better idea since SSDs benefit from PCIe 5.0 much more.
SATA, USB and PCIe 4.0 lane port support from the chipset itself is probably unchanged from B650. This chipset still supports USB 20 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2×2). B850 boards, by the way, will support ×8/×8 lane split for graphics cards just like X870 and X870E.
AMD’s X870E and X870 chipsets will both support PCIe Gen5 for both graphics and NVMe as a mandatory requirement for motherboard vendors. Additionally, both chipsets will include USB4 support, allow CPU and memory overclocking, and provide either a single PCIe Gen5 x16 graphics slot or a dual x8-lane configuration.
The X870E chipset retains the dual-chipset design of X670E, utilizing two Promontory 21 dies. This setup helps optimize trace routing by positioning one chipset die closer to the PCIe slots while also increasing the number of general-purpose PCIe lanes. In contrast, all other chipsets use a single-chip design.
The B850 chipset lowers the requirement for PCIe graphics to Gen4 by default but retains the option to support Gen5. It also mandates USB 3.2 at 20Gbps. Meanwhile, the B840 chipset is essentially an entry-level A-series chipset, akin to the previous A320, but rebranded—potentially to create market confusion. This lower-end chipset is limited to PCIe Gen3, supports USB 3.2 at 10Gbps, does not allow CPU overclocking, and features only a single x16 graphics slot.
