AMD Zen 5 rumours

I hope the 8960X3D has 3D cache across all cores/CCX's this time, just to shut up the idiots not understanding how the 7950x3D words in regards to thread scheduling :D
I can’t see it happening.

I assume it will only be partly 3D cache.
That’s my thoughts, I don’t see it been the full cpu. Would be fun to play with if it was.
 
Thought amd had already stated core amounts weren't going to change next gen not complaining if they have, looks like a regular a chiplet plus a c chiplet on the higher end parts, fairly crushing at the high end but the lower end looks fairly poor value.

not happening imo, doesnt add gaming performance adds cost also reduces clocks, 12 cores vs 8 cores 3d cache for gaming will be interesting to see

I don’t think AMD mentioned if it’s next chips would be single or dual chiplets, so we might get 16c chips with Vcache.

Would be an amazing halo product. Zen5 IPC (hopefully at least 10% IPC gain), 8 additional real cores, 3d cache for all cores. In theory that would annihilate Arrow Lake. Intel would need a 25% IPC jump to compete!
 
this 3d non 3d cycle is getting annoying. Just go balls to the walls AMD stop doing apple anctics, that being said i will be upgrading next year i can't wait!
Honestly there is a little bit of technical justification in this, I suspect not all chips are of good enough grade for 3d cache.
 
Is when you only game, that is not even up for debate.
? 8 cores are 100% required for current games. There are a few, such as Cyberpunk, that actually struggle with 8 cores already.

In 2025, when Zen5 launches, there will be even more games that struggle.

IMO a 12 or 16 core CPU bought today would have longevity for a few years, not a 8 core one.

This is one reason why I'm debating myself about getting a 5950x VS a 13700k.
Brute force says get the latter, threading the former.
 
Not that I need it but that 8800X3D is the one I'm waiting for. This 7600 is doing very well so far, nice cheap placeholder, decided to skip the 7800X3D.

Yeah I don't think there is any doubt that more cores should last longer, what I should have said is from my experience, I am not convinced on the utilisation outside of gaming, especially after seeing the 78003d vs the more expensive models.

5800x3d is degrading faster than 13700k in benchmarks though.
