It appears that AMD is getting ready to unveil its first consumer Zen 5 processors with 3D V-cache, the timing of which nearly coincides with retail availability of Arrow Lake.

The new CPU with 3D V-cache has reportedly been tested in Far Cry 6, Black Myth: Wukong, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, plus Cinebench.

New leaks have burst the optimistic bubble around the CPU’s gaming prowess, but there’s lots to chew over with these benchmarks.

An MSI presentation says that AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D does not have substantially higher performance than the typical version.
