AMD launches first 3D V-Cache laptop CPU: Ryzen 7945HX3D
, AMD, has revealed the new laptop chip to clamor for. The Ryzen 9 7945HX3D is the latest line to its current-gen laptop CPUs, adding a significant feature with3D V-Cache.This additional boost from the V-Cache will allow AMD to push the chip even further by giving it a bigger pool of L3 cache. More resources will enable the system to bring much more power overall to your games.3D V-Cache was introduced with theRyzen 5000 lineand recently made its debut in thedesktop 7000 CPUs. However, this is the first time that AMD is bringing the power to laptops.The first laptop to feature it will be theAsusROG Strix Scar 17 X3D, which launches on August 22. You can expect morehigh-end laptopsto feature this prominently sometime later this year.
AMD Ryzen 7945HX3D gets huge boost in gaming performance
As for performance, the 16-core, 32-thread chip can hit a 5.4GHz and contains 128MB of L3 cache, double the amount on the non-3D version.In games, it handily beats out the 7945HX, with AMD’s benchmarks running at 1080p, High. While some of the choices are a little odd, with no usual suspects likeForza Horizon 5, butCyberpunk 2077sees a 44% increase in performance. Other titles like F1 2021 get 38% and even esports titles, such as Dota 2, see small uplifts of 4%.Presumably to ensure that the benchmarks don’t just look like marketing, Strange Brigade, a co-op shooter, has a -3% performance decrease. This is also possibly due to drivers and the game itself colliding.AMD’sRyzen 7000 laptop chipshave been proving to be spectacular for on-the-go gaming. We recently reviewed the updatedAyaneo 2S, which features the7840U, a weaker chip in the line, but was still able to play a vast majority of the games on low, 1080p with good frame rates. Elsewhere, we also reviewed theAsus TUF Gaming A15, which houses a Ryzen 7 7735HS and it blew the doors off of titles like Diablo 4 and Forza Horizon 5.
