    3d vcache on only one CCD kinda made sense for 7000 series since the choice was higher clock speeds and less cache, or lower clock speeds and higher cache. But for the 9000 series with the flipped and clocks not limited it really didn’t. Anyone buying the current 9950x3D would pay the extra money.

      The reasoning is for consumers the workload that benefits the most is gaming, however as soon as you have to go cross-CCD, you lose the latency benefits of that large L3.

      So for consumer chips it makes sense.

      That said, I’d love to see a EPYC 4005 product with the dual X3D CCDs, since it’s reasonable for a server to be running 2 or more game instances at any time.
