AMD's 3D V-Cache technology comes to laptops with the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D
AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology is on the cusp of coming to laptops with the arrival of the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D. The new desktop chip, part of the “Dragon Range” processor family, boosts gaming performance and potentially benefits VR headsets. ASUS is already preparing a ROG Strix SCAR laptop with the chip inside, and more laptop releases with it are expected.
The Ryzen 9 7945HX3D offers around 10% more performance than Intel’s Core i9-13950HX, making it a great choice for high-end gaming PC builders. But its availability in laptops makes it even more versatile.
AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology enhances gaming performance by utilizing the system’s discrete GPU as a cache for system RAM. This optimizes the speed at which games and apps access system RAM by making the most of the extra VRAM in modern GPUs.
The listing of laptops with AMD’s Dragon Range lineup is a positive sign for future upgraders, indicating that more laptops with the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D will be available. While the chip may not be suitable for highly portable laptops, it provides true enthusiast-performance desktop replacement that surpasses traditional laptops.
