Description:
AMD Ryzen 9000X3D performance optimizer spotted in new driver, suggesting 
speedy gaming CPUs could arrive soon.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

AMD has just released a new chipset driver that incorporates a feature for 
the 3D V-Cache spins on its incoming Ryzen 9000 processors . 

In fact, not only does version 6.05.28.016 of the driver (spotted by leaker 
Harukaze5719 on X) come with a new take on the 3D V-Cache Performance 
Optimizer  version 1.0.0.9  which could be a telling addition (and well come 
back to why), it also introduces support for Windows 11 24H2, the next major 
update for Microsofts OS due to land later this year. 3D V-Cache Performance

The release also furnishes us with a bunch of bug fixes, but the most 
interesting aspect here is the move with Ryzen 9000X3D, CPUs that are 
expected to grab our attention and the title of the fastest gaming processor 
.. 

Weve very recently been told that next-gen 3D V-Cache processors are getting 
a big uplift, and according to an AMD exec, there are some really, really 
cool updates to X3D coming and this is about a new iteration of X3D, not just 
a rehash compared to Ryzen 7000X3D silicon. 

That sounds exciting, and surely this new version of the 3D V-Cache 
Performance Optimizer will be part of those measures to hopefully supercharge 
Ryzen 9000X3D. Analysis: A swift follow-up with X3D this time around? 

Whats perhaps more exciting here is that this is another hint that we could 
be getting Ryzen 9000X3D processors early doors this time around with Zen 5. 
Typically, theres a fair old gap between the launch of vanilla Ryzen desktop 
CPUs and then X3D models  it was five months with AMDs current-gen silicon, 
in fact  but this time, theres a rumor that with Ryzen 9000 itll only be a 
couple of months. 

 Ryzen 9000 vanilla versions are out in July , next month, and that recent 
speculation on Ryzen 9000X3D floated the idea that itll be launched just two 
months later in September . 

If support for performance optimization is coming in now, this groundwork 
being done at this early stage is another suggestion that AMD is indeed going 
to surprise us with a speedy launch of Ryzen 9000X3D. And it comes on top of 
our theories from yesterday about why AMD might want to push out these 3D 
V-Cache spins early  due to worries about how gaming performance of vanilla 
Ryzen 9000 might stack up to Intels incoming next-gen CPUs, Arrow Lake.
