These might be the processors you've been waiting on as they will offer a perfect blend of proper single-threaded performance, excellent multi-threaded performance and, thanks to that X3D cache, increased game performance with bottle necked games and graphics cards.
No less than three Ryzen 7000 X3D models will feature 8, 12, and 16 cores, respectively. AMD announced them at CES 2023, even though the processors won't be available until February. The X3D processors come with the manufacturer's own 3D V-Cache stacked atop a CPU chiplet, in addition to the cache found in the Ryzen 7000 CPUs themselves. Therefore, the new CPUs feature an increased L3 cache size of 64 MB.
While the current Ryzen 7 5800X3D is still a top-tier CPU option for gamers, Ryzen 7000 X3D components stand to benefit even more from 3D V-Cache due to the possibility of increased bandwidth, thereby bolstering their performance in games, creation workloads and applications. Interestingly, AMD has launched three Ryzen 7000X3D models with 3D V-Cache, increasing the number of X3D CPUs for client PCs from one (in the case of the Ryzen 5000 family) to three (for the Ryzen 7000 series).

AMD released its Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000-series desktop processors in September 2022. They have excellent single-threaded performance (thanks partly to their ultra-high clock speeds), which means they can compete well against Intel's 12th and 13th-generation parts. AMD claims its Ryzen 7000X3D processors are 13–24% faster than Intel's Core i9-13900K in early benchmarks. The Ryzen 7800X3D, on the other hand, is 21-30% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D across four AMD-tested games. The company also claims that the new processors outperform the previous Ryzen 7 5800X3D in creative workloads. The launch of the processors is scheduled for February. To date, AMD has not provided a recommended retail price or announced when their products would be available.
