Disassembly AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D revealed a new 3D V-Cache structure under the Zen 5 crystal

Sales officially started on the market today AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, but even before that, one Weibo user with the nickname "万扯淡" decided to disassemble the processor to study its 3D V-Cache in detail. This brave enthusiast not only removed the cover with a heating gun, but also carefully opened the CCD crystal itself, which allowed him to see the layers of Zen 5 and the shiny blue structure of the 3D V-Cache underneath.

The teardown revealed that the 3D V-Cache is located underneath the CCD die, which differentiates the 9800X3D architecture from previous models such as the 7800X3D, which had the V-Cache on top. The new approach to 3D V-Cache placement significantly improves the processor's thermal stability, allowing it to reach higher frequencies and support full overclocking.

AMD engineers are rumored to continue researching and testing new X3D packaging methods that could further improve processor performance and stability in the future. Ryzen 7 9800X3D has already cemented its place as one of the fastest gaming processors on the market, continuing the evolution that began with the 5800X3D.
