Doubt cast on dual-CCD Ryzen X3D rumours

Last week, we heard the exciting prospect of a 16-core AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPU with two 3D V-Cache chiplets. However, it might be time to temper those expectations, as a new report from the Chinese hardware community is pouring cold water on the idea of a dual-CCD V-Cache flagship arriving this year.

wjm47196 (via Wccftech), a member of the Chiphell forums and frequent source of hardware leaks, claims that AMD currently has no plans to release a dual-CCD 3D V-Cache CPU in 2025. This would rule out the previously rumoured 16-core monster with 192MB of L3 cache. The source also clarifies that the rumoured 120W TDP figure for the upcoming 8-core model is likely inaccurate.

So, while the dream of a 16-core, no-compromise V-Cache beast was exciting, we may have to wait a lot longer for it to become a reality. For now, it seems AMD is content to refine what worked best in the last generation: a single, latency-optimised CCD with a massive slice of L3 cache.
