Upcoming AMD Ryzen 9000 CPU with dual 3D V-cache highlighted by new leak

While AMD continues to launch AM4 CPUs to this date, the new AM5 platform hasn't received the same level of attention. That might change in the coming weeks. Apparently, Team Red has two new CPUs lined up, and they'll pack copious amounts of L3 cache.

X leaker @g01d3nm4ng0 states one of AMD's upcoming Granite Ridge (Ryzen 9000 series) CPUs will come with 8 cores, 16 threads, a 120 Watt TDP and 96 MB of L3 cache. Specs-wise, this is the same as the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and it'll be interesting to see how the two differ. It'll probably launch as a Ryzen 7 9700X3D with lower clocks.

The second offering seems far more promising: a 16-core, 32-thread CPU with a 200 Watt TDP and a whopping 192 MB of L3 cache. This is far more potent than the Ryzen 9 9950X3D with extra TDP headroom (170 Watts) and far more cache. 192 MB implies both CCDs will come with 64 MB of 3D V-Cache, which is a segment first.

Murmurs about a Ryzen 9000 X3D CPU with two 3D V-cache tiles emerged before the CPUs launched, but were promptly shut down after. It is far too early to estimate what it will be called because such a product hasn't existed before. Ryzen 9 9990X3D, perhaps? And the fact that it is a part of Granite Ridge confirms it is a consumer product and not one earmarked for enterprise use.
