AMD Ryzen processors with AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology

AMD continues to be the leader in advanced packaging technology with AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology. AMD is enabling a 3D vertical cache to create the world’s fastest gaming desktop processor when it was launched3 – the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D – and today, the world’s new fastest gaming processor lineup with AMD Ryzen 7000X3D processors1.

AMD EPYC 9004 Series Processors with AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology

AMD Ryzen processors with AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology

With the addition of AMD 3D V-Cache™ technology, EPYC processors reach new heights to become the world’s highest performing x86 server processors for technical computing2—designed to accelerate product development cycles and boost productivity. These are the first server processors to leverage true 3D die stacking, using a copper-to-copper “bumpless” design that enables 200X the interconnect density compared to current 2D technologies and over 15X the interconnect density compared to other 3D technologies using solder bumps.4

  • Deliver breakthrough per-core performance with 3X the L3 cache/1152 MBs per socket
  • Help lower TCO while accelerating product development
  • Support sustainability through exceptional energy efficiency
  • Provide the confidence of modern security
  • Socket compatible with existing AMD EPYC 9004 platforms
