In a new tweet, industry insider "Greymon55" tweeted that AMD's new Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor "has been shipped and will probably be on the market by the end of this month". As for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor and what makes it so exciting is its new 3D V-Cache technology.

3D V-Cache is a huge L3 cache that sits on top of the compute chiplet, where AMD is expecting around 15% more performance thanks to the stacked memory, which means the new Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor is actually faster than AMD's higher-end Ryzen 9 5900X in gaming. Not only that, but the new 5800X3D beats the Core i9-12900K in gaming which is what really matters.

Intel only has its Alder Lake-powered Core i9-12900K processor at the moment, while there is the higher-end Core i9-12900KS processor is waiting in the wings, and will be the only thing to compete with the 3D V-Cache technology inside of AMD's now-shipping Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor.
