The tech giant AMD has officially announced its latest mobile gaming processor, the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, which features the innovative 3D V-Cache technology. This technology allows for extra performance without significantly increasing energy consumption or cooling requirements, making it ideal for high-performance portable machines like gaming laptops.
The Ryzen 9 7945HX3D processor is based on the Zen 4 architecture and boasts 16 cores and 32 threads, with a 16GB L2 cache and an impressive 128GB L3 cache. It has a TDP (thermal design power) ranging from 55 to 75W and is equipped with an AMD Radeon 610M GPU.
However, the disappointing aspect of this announcement is that the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D processor will only be available in a single laptop model, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D. This means that the 3D V-Cache technology, which has the potential to compete with Intel’s high-end offerings, will only be accessible to buyers of this specific laptop.
The 3D V-Cache technology has been praised for its ability to enhance performance without causing additional ventilation issues, making it highly desirable for gaming laptops and other portable devices. Many enthusiasts were hoping to see this technology featured in a wider range of laptops and processors, but it appears that AMD has chosen to limit its availability.
This isn’t the first time AMD has limited the availability of its processors with 3D V-Cache technology. Previous releases, such as the Ryzen 5 5600X3D and Ryzen 7 5800X3D, were also offered in limited supply, leaving many users frustrated at the missed opportunity to take advantage of this cutting-edge technology.
Despite the limited availability, the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D remains a powerful and promising processor, and those fortunate enough to get their hands on the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D will likely experience exceptional gaming performance. However, many enthusiasts are left hoping that AMD will eventually make this impressive technology more widely accessible in future releases.
