Less than a month after AMD's Ryzen 9000 announcement at Computex, the CPU manufacturer is already optimizing its 3D V-Cache driver, perhaps in preparation to launch its Ryzen 9000 series parts with the game-boosting tech.
@harukaze5719 on X (formally Twitter) discovered the new 3D V-Cache Performance Optimizer driver from AMD. AMD last updated its 3D V-Cache optimizer driver around the launch of the Ryzen 7000X3D chips. There's not much information on what AMD's 3D-VCache driver does, it was first unveiled as a Windows 10 exclusive driver for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, but it is also available with AMD's Ryzen 7000X3D chips and works in Windows 11 with the 7000X3D SKUs.
We suspect the Ryzen 7000X3D-supporting version optimized workloads to put L3 cache-sensitive games and apps on the cache-equipped CCD of a Ryzen 9 7900X3D or 7950X3D, but that doesn't explain why the driver exists for the 5800X3D, as it doesn't need such optimizations.
