GIGABYTE mentions AMD Ryzen 9000X3D series processor with 16 cores

Although it is no secret that at some point we will see the launch of a processor Ryzen 9000X3D 16-coreWas GIGABYTE who recently mentioned it in one of their press releases. This unit was included in a document where the brand describes a new mode for AMD processors called X3D Turbo Cache, included in AGESA patch 1.2.0.2A.

GIGABYTE X3D Turbo Mode is a cutting-edge feature that unifies core allocation, bandwidth tuning, and power balancing of hardware, resulting in pushing the limits of gaming performance. Empirical testing proves that this feature delivers tangible benefits to gamers, with performance increases of up to 18% for incoming 3-core Ryzen™ 16 series X9000D processors, a staggering 18% for non-X9000D Ryzen™ 3 processors, and 5% for Ryzen™ 9800 X3D processors*. Notably, the unique optimization parameters of X3D Turbo Mode allow even non-X9000D Ryzen™ 3 processors to achieve similar gaming performance levels as their Ryzen™ X3D counterparts. Experience smoother gameplay, higher frame rates and reduced latency with GIGABYTE’s BIOS innovation – X3D Turbo Mode.

This new mode will be available to all manufacturers who have updated their BIOS with the patch 1.2.0.2A. One of the main drawbacks is that disables one of the CCDs y Disable Hyper-Threading. This causes a noticeable reduction in performance for productivity tasks, which can be annoying as it forces the end user to enable or disable this feature depending on the activity, whether gaming or work.

According to GIGABYTE, the performance improvement In processors like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D it is just a 5%, which probably won't be attractive enough for most users. While the performance gains on processors with higher core counts are promising, the process is impractical, as it requires constant BIOS adjustments to switch between gaming and work modes.
