According to Reports: AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D will now bring V-Cache technology to gaming laptops
We're always looking for trending tech news that will impact how consumers spend their money regarding technology. Tech consumers, especially those in the mobile gaming space, will find this news interesting. According to reports, AMD will incorporate 3D V-Cache technology into gaming laptops with the new Ryzen 7000 mobile CPUs. An unreleased Asus ROG Strix laptop was spotted, adding more interest to this report. Featuring a Ryzen 9 7945HX3D CPU with 16 cores, 32 Threads, and 128MB of L3 cache, twice the amount of the 64MB of L3 cache present in the current 7945HX CPU.
ASUS ROG Strix 17 is arguably one of the most powerful gaming laptops on the market and very expensive
Details of the product listed are published on the Lambada Tek website, the new and upcoming laptop in question is Asus ROG Strix Scar17, featuring a Ryzen 9 7945HX processor. Other featured specs are the Nvidia RTX 4090 mobile GPU, up to 32GB of memory, and 2TB SSD.
There is no timetable for when AMD will officially announce the X3D chip, but we will trust the reports that the 3D-Vache chip for mobile processors will come to fruition. The benefits of the new chip are astronomic. Regarding gaming, AMD's X3D will potentially outperform Intel's Raptor Lake mobile CPUs.
This what AMD’s 3D-V-Cache looks like
For those unfamiliar with 3D-Vache, AMD's game-enhancing technology improves the L3 cache capacity of current Ryzen CPUs. There are additional layers of L3 cache on top of the CPU die connected via silicon, passing vertically to the die. Extra storage capacity improves frame rates over CPUs that can't handle the rigors of gaming.
This is actually a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU
The caveat to AMD's 3D V-Cache technology in desktop computers with this type of processor can dissipate considerable heat. To remedy this issue, AMD reduced the clock speeds of the desktop X3D processor by shaving off a few hundred MHz, significantly reducing power. However, laptops have power constraints, so when using an X3D processor, there likely won't be a trade-off when adding an L3 cache for gaming.
It's worth noting these circulated reports are rumors. But we all know any rumor in the tech industry regarding gadgets or hardware will eventually come to fruition. If there is some validity to the reports, I expect AMD to announce the X3D chips in the coming months for mobile processors. Enhanced gaming laptop performance using 3D V-Cache is undoubtedly an industry game changer.
