Images of What Is Said to Be a Delidded AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Seemingly Confirms 3D V-Cache Is Now Underneath CCD

It's reported that upon a closeup inspection of the die a layer normally seen at the top of AMD's X3D parts is no longer visible and is suspected to be underneath the die. It also appears that whoever provided the images used a Thermal Grizzly Delid-Die-Mate originally designed for the Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, suggesting that this Zen 5 part has similar dimensions.

So it is true after all: "This uses 2nd Gen AMD 3D V-Cache where the 64MB of cache is now underneath the processor cores so that the CCD is positioned closer to the heatsink/cooler. The intent is that the new 3D V-Cache processors will run cooler than prior generation 3D V-Cache processors."
