AMD Ryzen 7000 3D V-Cache CPUs rumored to come in 8-core and 6-core flavors, A620 chipset, and next-gen APUs planned for mid to late 2023

AMD’s Ryzen 7000 CPU family will be further expanded in 2023 with the release of 3D V-Cache parts alongside the entry-level A620 chipset.

AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU Rumors: 3D V-Cache Chips in 8/6 Core Flavors, A620 Chipset, and Next-Gen APU in 2023

according to Enthusiastic citizen in Bilibili, the leaker has reported that AMD has three main products that are planned for 2023.

AMD Ryzen 7000 3D V-Cache in 8 and 6 core versions

The first and most obvious is the Ryzen 7000 3D V-Cache line that was confirmed by us to be unveiled at CES 2023. The lineup is reported to have only two parts, an 8-core and a 6-core variant. So it looks like we’ll be getting the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and the Ryzen 5 7600X 3D more or less. These CPUs will offer a 3D stacked chiplet design, with larger SRAM and giving users higher gaming performance on cache-intensive titles. The result will be similar to the first generation V-Cache chip, the Ryzen 7 5800X3Dwhich has become a popular chip due to its incredible performance and even more fantastic value.

APU in AM5, Ryzen 7000G planned for late 2023

AMD won’t just stop at the 3D V-Cache parts, later in 2023, there’s a next-gen AM5 desktop APU lineup planned. This line will also be included in the Ryzen 7000 ‘G’ series family, but is expected to launch in the second half of 2023. Currently, there is no information available on what this line of chips will offer, but since they will be compatible with the AM5 platform, these are likely to be a variation of the Phoenix Point (Zen 4 + RDNA 3) APU which will begin to be sent to mobiles in the first half of the year.

An interesting piece of information shared is that these Ryzen 7000 chips will only support DDR5-4800 memory, which is a bit lackluster considering APUs require all the bandwidth they can get. The chips will also be available in 8-core and 6-core flavors and there is also talk of upgraded models, though no information has been provided yet.

A620 takes AM5 to the entry level

Finally, there is an update on the A620 chipset platform. So far, AMD has confirmed the X670 and B650 chipsets, but the leaker claims that the A620 chipset will be announced around Q2 2022 and will not offer CPU overclocking support. The entry-level platform would make sense with the low-end Non-X and Ryzen 3 chips if AMD plans to release them. This may solve the problem of the high prices of the AM5 platform, but given how restrictive the entire A620 chipset platform would be, it wouldn’t make sense to use these motherboards if you plan to benefit from the longevity of the AM5 ecosystem.
