AMD chipset drivers offer special gaming optimizations for Ryzen 9 7000X3D CPUs

AMD Ryzen 7000X3D processors equipped with 3D V-Cache are said to automatically optimize performance depending on the workload. The latest chipset driver can dynamically assign which core should be used by the Windows operating system. So in other words, if the workload is cache-dependent, the operating system is adjusted to favor cores with 3D V-cache. If frequency is more important, higher frequency cores are chosen instead. So much for the theory, the practice was presented yesterday in our launch article.

AMD explains that this function is controlled by the driver, but it can be changed manually in the BIOS, if the entry is vrfügbar at all… Users can choose between “Cache” and “Frequency” depending on what they prefer. AMD also confirms that the same drivers will include the PPM Provisioning File Driver. This feature is primarily targeted at gaming workloads, as it dynamically allocates CCX with 3D V-cache and parks unused CCX without additional cache. If more threads are needed, the CCX without 3D V-Cache is also activated.

AMD states that both features will increase performance depending on the workload, but the main purpose of these technologies is to increase gaming performance. Importantly, these technologies only target ide on Ryzen 9 7000X3D CPUs (7950X/7900X), as only these two of three announced SKUs also have an asymmetric chiplet design, where one CCX has 3D V-cache while the other does not. Of course, this problem does not exist with the 8-core Ryzen 7 7800X3D with one chiplet, which is supposed to hit the market in April.
