AMD "Zen 3+" Microarchitecture is "Zen 3" with 3D Vertical Cache Technology, 15% Gaming Perf Gain

AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su, in her Computex 2021 Keynote address detailed what could very well be the "Zen 3+" microarchitecture that's been in the news lately. AMD has collaborated with TSMC on developing a new die-on-die 3D stacking technology using TSVs (through-silicon vias) and structural silicon substrate, to place a 64 MB SRAM on top of the "Zen 3" CCD, which it calls 3D Vertical Cache. This cache die sits directly over the
