AMD needs to release a Ryzen 5 5600X3D

pcgamer.com:

Is AMD preparing more X3D processors? The answer is very likely yes, according to prolific leaker Greymon55(opens in new tab) (via Techpowerup(opens in new tab)). The Ryzen 7 5800X3D(opens in new tab) is, so far, the only V-Cache equipped CPU. It's proven to be an excellent gaming CPU, even beating out Intel’s mighty 12900KS(opens in new tab) in titles that are cache sensitive. The 5800X3D has some flaws, but if AMD chooses to release it, there’s one CPU that could rise above all.

The best option would be a 5600X3D. A 6-core/12-thread CPU is perfectly viable in current titles, and the addition of 64MB of L3 cache on top of the 32MB of the base 5600X(opens in new tab) would deliver 96MB of L3 cache. The same as that of the 5800X3D.

But the 5800X3D was flawed due to the fact that its clocks were lower than those of the 5800X. Its lower clocks impacted its performance in non-gaming applications, meaning it was a poor choice as a general-purpose CPU compared to the 5800X. There are two primary reasons why AMD chose to lower the 5800X3D's clocks. The first is that the technology is new. A combination of higher power, heat and current can potentially damage the delicate through-silicon vias used to connect the chiplet and cache, and AMD was simply being conservative. That was a strong reason for disabling overclocking too(opens in new tab). The second reason is the probability that a 5800X3D—if it were clocked the same as a 5800X—would run into the default 142W package power limitation of the platform. 

The 5600X skips the second reason. It’s a 65W CPU with a package power limit of 88W. That means AMD shouldn’t have any problem clocking a 5600X3D as high as a 5600X. It could set the TDP at 95W and still have total package
