… Even though the 7950X3D and the 9950X3D had no trouble splitting workloads, core parking played a vital role in how they behaved compared to single-CCD X3D chips like the 7800X3D and 9800X3D. …
… X3D CPUs are less sensitive to RAM speed The 3D V-cache allows my 9800X3D to be less reliant on system memory Probably the biggest reason why I didn't feel the drop from 6400MT/s to 6000MT/s comes down to how AMD's X3D chips are designed. …
… Sure, it doesn't have AMD's 3D V-Cache since it's not an X3D SKU, but that doesn't matter as this thing can brute-force its way through even the more demanding tasks. …
… It's still behind the AMD Ryzen X3D range, but it beats pretty much every non-X3D chip from either AMD or Intel, and let's not forget this is a $299 CPU, while the 285K is twice that. …
… By the time Nova Lake CPUs launch late this year or early next year, AMD will also have its next-gen Zen 6 CPUs ready, including X3D models to compete with these bLLC models. …
