Future AMD GPUs May Feature 3D V-Cache

[Tsing]

AMD's 3D V-Cache technology may not be exclusive to the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the rest of the company's "X3D" processors. Tom Wassick, a semiconductor engineer, recently looked into the GPU die of one of AMD's latest graphics cards, the Radeon RX 7900 XT, and discovered the same type of 3D V-Cache connection points that can be found in X3D products. The inclusion of 3D V-Cache will presumably enable greater gaming performance in future Radeon products, but some publications have pointed out that heat could be a worry, if AMD's X3D chips are anything to go by.

That is interesting.

I am curious to see what real world impact this would provide. At least they are trying something new/different.

I also find it interesting that while cross-checking posts for that story today about the Titan/4090 Ti there was mention of caches for those cards. I didn't include it because up until now I've never really noticed a cache spec when it came to GPUs.

From VideoCardz:




I guess Cache is going to be one of the next things we have to look out for with the next round of GPUs.
