Earlier on a rumour indocated that only 6 and 8-core Ryzen 7000 processors would get a 3D V-Cache version in 2023. However, a new rumour emerged that there possibly m right be 12 and 16 core versions. We do wonder where AMD would place the 3D V-Cache in the package with so little room and so much heat.

Currently, three sources have confirmed this. It comes as a surprise, nevertheless, that a 6-core 3D v-cache model is not currently in development. This could signal the release of a potential Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 7 7700/7800X3D; a Twitter user @harukaze5719 claims that their clock speeds are identical to those of their non-3D counterparts. That would be a step up from the Ryzen 5 5800X3D, which is slower than the 5800X. (3.4 GHz versus 3.8 GHz). It is also reported that the total design power (TDP) of the three X3D-Ryzens is 170 watts. That is on par with the standard 7900X and 7950X in terms of power consumption, but it is a significant increase for the 105-watt Ryzen 7 7700X.

Naturally, these are still just rumours; a reliable source claimed less than three weeks ago that only 6- and 8-core 3d v-cache Ryzens were in development. The announcement likely is January 7, 2023, at CES 2023.

They shared 3 exclusive Zen 4 3D info.

1) Three Ryzen 7000X3D model is confirmed. 16/12/8C. But about 8C model, it isn't determined model name whether7700X3D or 7800X3D

2) Unlike Zen 3 3D, clock speed will be same or at least almost same.

3) It is expect Jan 23. So CES.

AMD Ryzen 7000 8- 12- and 16-core Ryzen CPUs with 3D V-Cache coming?
