Gigabyte claims up to 35% performance increase on upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D 3D V-Cache processors using its BIOS Turbo Mode.

Even though AMD just launched its regular Zen 5 CPUs in August, their lukewarm reception and the imminent arrival of competing chips from Intel could spur AMD to release the X3D V-Cache versions ahead of schedule.

An MSI presentation says that AMD's Ryzen 9000X3D does not have substantially higher performance than the typical version.
