AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D review

The $449/£429 Ryzen 7 5800X3D is something a bit different from AMD,

[{ "selector": ".nqucq-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 374px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

a processor that exists to demonstrate the power of the firm's 3D V-Cache design for its upcoming Ryzen CPUs

[{ "selector": ".gexak-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 259px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

and fight off Intel's 12900KS for the title of 'fastest gaming processor'.

[{ "selector": ".opkui-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 381px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

It's also something of a last hurrah for the surprisingly long-lived AM4 platform,

[{ "selector": ".kifzz-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 340px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

which debuted back in 2017 and outlasted half a dozen Intel generations as Ryzen CPUs improved in leaps and bounds.

[{ "selector": ".kuabf-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 221px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

So what exactly is a 3D V-Cache anyway? Let's start with the basics. You can think of a processor's

[{ "selector": ".okzcp-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 289px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

cache as a place to store data it's currently working on - a bit like RAM,

[{ "selector": ".mzxxo-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 376px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

but because it's inside the CPU it is an order of magnitude faster to access and an order of magnitude

[{ "selector": ".unttz-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 300px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

smaller in terms of the amount of data it can store. Modern processors typically use three levels of cache - L1, L2, L3

[{ "selector": ".mzjmo-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 259px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]
