What does a little extra cache do for your gaming PC? Quite a bit, it turns out. We take a technical deep dive into AMD's 3D V-Cache technology.
Cache isn’t something PC gamers think nearly enough about. At least, that seems to be AMD’s thinking as of late.
Time is what Hallock calls the “great governor of performance.” Your average frame rate is just an abstraction of latency, a shorthand that’s easier to understand than the amount of time it takes for each frame to render. That’s the point. That doesn’t mean more cache is inherently better for gaming. It largely depends on the game, but more importantly, when the game was made.
You can see that in the chart below, with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D offering a significant gain in performance over even the Ryzen 9 5950X in Far Cry 6. It’s not an idea out of left field, either. Looking at Ryzen 5000 processors, even the Ryzen 5 5600X sports 2MB more L3 cache than Intel’s Core i9-12900K. Different architectures handle cache, well, differently, but it’s clear that AMD has had this spec in mind. Consider that the $300 Ryzen 5 5600X gets close to the Intel flagship in gaming despite being less than half the price and sporting 10 fewer cores.
