AMD's Ryzen 7000 series is getting a V-Cache upgrade - Leaked Roadmap confirms
A image of AMD's latest consumer CPU roadmap is now available to view online thanks to a leaker called @sebuahsarang on Twitter. This roadmap confirms AMD's plans to reveal and released V-Cache enhanced Ryzen 7000 X3D processors, new AM5 based APUs, and a successor to their Threadripper 5000 series of workstation processors.
With the addition of AMD's 3D V-Cache technology, AMD should be able to greatly expand the L3 cache that is available on their Ryzen 7000 series processors, accelerating a number of workloads by allowing their Zen 4 processors to hold more data on-package. This allows AMD's L3 cache to store more data and for this stored data to be accessed by AMD's Zen 4 CPU cores a lot faster than accessing the same data through DRAM. This accelerates the performance of several workloads, with gaming being the most important workload for AMD's consumer-grade Ryzen 7000 series.
AMD's V-Cache technology has already proven to be an incredibly powerful upgrade on their Zen 3 based Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor. By adding the same technology to their Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 series silicon, AMD should be able to deliver larger performance benefits, as this time AMD's V-Cache technology will be combined with much stronger Zen 4 CPU cores.
AMD's roadmap has also confirmed that AMD has plans to launch a successor to their Threadripper 5000 series using a to be announced (TBA) CPU platform. We can guess that this new Threadripper lineup will be AMD's Threadripper 7000 Pro series, which will likely arrive on a new CPU socket and motherboard platform that supports both PCIe 5.0 connectivity and DDR5 memory.
