Ryzen 9 7950X3D surfaces with 192MB L3 cache
An engineering sample that looks like a Windows bug, or vice versa?
Maybe it was a Windows bug or a supply chain mistake, but an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, one of the best CPUs, surfaced with 64MB more L3 cache than usual. (Image credit: X user HXL)While a software bug is possible, we can’t discard the fact that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D could be an early engineering sample that AMD was playing with. Alternatively, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 192MB L3 cache may be an engineering sample of AMD’s upcoming EPYC 4004 series, which are server-grade Zen 4 chips with 3D V-Cache for the mainstream AM5 socket.
