AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU Gets Infrared Close Ups, IOD Breaks Up Into 5 Pieces After Photo Session
AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D received its first high-res die shots for the 3D V-Cache chiplet by Fritzchens Fritz which ended up in a wonderful disaster.
Fritzhens Fritz is known for sharing high-resolution infrared and closeup die shots of many CPUs & GPUs. His hobby is definitely an expensive one since many dies get broken or the chip becomes un-fit for further use after the delidding process. But that hasn't stopped Fritz from continuing to give the tech community those wonderful high-res chip close-ups and the latest CPU to go under Fritz's infrared scope is the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU is one of the three Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs that feature the latest gen of 3D V-Cache. The singular chiplet design is also the most popular chip on the market yet which is breaking sales records. Unlike the dual-chiplet designs on the Ryzen 9 7000X3D CPUs, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D features a single Zen 4 chiplet (CCD) with a singular 3D V-Cache stack which carries 64 MB of SRAM.
This SRAM is vertically stacked on top of the Zen 4 CCD and is considered the best solution for the gaming audience as the OS and CPU firmware don't have to decide between which CCD to pick for certain workloads as is the case with the higher-end chips. As such, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU delivers a great gaming experience. Following is a picture of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D next to a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU.
You can note that the Ryzen 5 7600 CPU has its standard L3 cache visible next to its 8 Zen 4 cores (2 of which are disabled). Meanwhile, for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, the 8-cores are visible but the L3 cache beneath it is hard to notice since that is covered by the stacked 3D V-Cache SRAM. The 64 MB of L3 cache is combined with the 32 MB of L3 cache for a total of
