Was just going to post this, love me some nerdy die shots!
Since early spring, colony collapse disorder, or CCD, a disease that causes honeybees to suddenly, mysteriously disappear from their hives, has made headlines around the world.Talk CCDs to me baby...
Some tasty die shots and goings on with the TSV (through silicon via's) that will be used to connect the extra cache in the X3D models.
I'm guessing increased clock speeds and improved 3D cache will bring the benefits personally and hopefully it'll be goodThis showed up on my recommended feed, it is interesting that there is a possibility that the cache could be double stacked, probably unlikely tho....
I think Zen 9000X3D will be the best gaming CPU for a long time, probably 2 years or more. Arrow Lake has very little chance of getting close to to the 9800X3D.
9800X3D & especially 9950X3D, with it's higher boost relative to the 7950X3D and further X3D optimisations will be the flagship, probably go down in history as being one of the GOAT CPU's.
Can't wait to order one Just hope they don't rush it to try and spoil Arrow Lake launch - yet Intel release their next 320W CPU and spend your time perfecting BIOS, EXPO, XMP and stability so no issues to mar the launch.
To follow up on that someone has taken an educated guess at the layout of the CCD's...Some tasty die shots and goings on with the TSV (through silicon via's) that will be used to connect the extra cache in the X3D models.
So, X3D becomes the 'norm' aka the standard?If they’ve managed to solve the clock speed difference on X3D then for future generations or even the current 9000 series I really don’t see the point in releasing a regular X and X3D anymore unless the price difference is large enough.
Only point in them doing both now is because the X3D maybe much harder to manufacture quickly in large volumes.
Do we have an ETA yet for the 9950X3D?
I don’t need one right now but may be looking at a new PC in the next few months and my 5950X has been great over the past 4 years, the 9950X3D would be a worthy replacement by the look of things.
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Rumored to Get Faster Clock Speeds
Though it's a rumour and not one we like to cite, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to offer significant improvements in clock speeds compared to the previous Ryzen 7 7800X3D.www.guru3d.com
Because it's no longer cost efficientno-one seems to recommend AM4 platform for new build
Better support for M.2 drives (usually get more of them on a standard B650 or X670 board compared to B550 or X570).what are the main benefits of AM5 platform over and above AM4 other than longevity please ?
