AMD will launch its first Ryzen 7000X3D processors on the last day of Feb. Leveraging the second-generation 3D V-Cache technology, these chips will boast boost clocks of up to 5.7GHz, the same as the regular Zen 4 parts. The higher-end Ryzen 9 7900X3D and 7950X3D SKUs will hit retail at the end of the month for a price of $599, and $699, respectively. Meanwhile, the budget Ryzen 7 7800X3D will be released after two months from now in April.
| Model | Cores/Threads | Boost / Base Frequency | Total Cache | TDP |
| AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D | 16C/32T | Up to 5.7 GHz / 4.2 GHz | 144MB | 120W |
| AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 12C/24T | Up to 5.6 GHz / 4.4 GHz | 140MB | 120W |
| AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 8C/16T | Up to 5.0 GHz / TBD | 104MB | 120W |
AMD has informed us that all AM5 motherboards will be compatible with the Ryzen 7000X3D processors post a BIOS update. Furthermore, the chipmaker recommends an AIO liquid cooled solution with a 280mm radiator for its V-Cache offerings.
The Zen 4 3D family will have the same boost clocks as their vanilla variants but will come with a locked multiplier, limiting core overclocking. Memory and fabric overclocking, however, will remain untouched. Precision Boost Overdrive and Curve Optimization have also been added to these processors.
