- AMD’s Donny Woligroski acknowledged the technical feasibility of a dual-chiplet X3D processor but questioned its market demand given minimal performance benefits.
- Analysis by 3DCenter indicates a second 3D V-Cache chiplet would deliver only about a 4% performance boost over the single-chiplet Ryzen 9 9950X3D.
- Current Ryzen X3D CPUs, such as the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, pair one 64 MB 3D V-Cache chip per core complex to optimize gaming and multi-threaded workloads.
