AMD prepares Ryzen 7 9850X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPUs with higher clocks and full 3D V-Cache on all cores. See what improvements are coming.

That's quite interesting. I kinda like how power efficient X3D was because it was clock limited, but still.

IIRC, the issue with 'double' X3D before was the infinity fabric couldn't handle the cross-talk between the CCDs accessing each other's L3 cache.

Also curious to know how both CCDs having extra cache is gonna affect the usual core parking routine for gaming

Yeah. Ouside of games that can use so many threads, you're still better off with 1 CCD, I'd wager, but maybe there's a niche where there isn't so much interdependency, and spreading the threads out is better.
