Maybe it was a Windows bug or a supply chain mistake, but an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, one of the best CPUs, surfaced with 64MB more L3 cache than usual. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-core processor typically ships with 128MB of L3 cache, but this one reported 192MB. X user HXL made the rare find and posted screenshots of the Bilibili video with the reported specifications.
While we expected to see a CPU with a 128MB L3 cache, we observed different specs. According to both Windows Task Manager and CPU-Z, the reported capacity of the L3 cache was 192MB. All of the other specifications look normal. AMD designed the Ryzen 9 7950X3D for gamers who wanted to enjoy CPU-limited games while still enjoying the productivity benefits of a 16-core CPU. It utilizes AMD’s second-gen 3D V-Cache and, according to our testing, surpasses Intel’s fastest chip.
