AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Ships Out, Could be Available by March-end
With motherboard vendors posting UEFI firmware updates to support it, we were wondering where the actually processor is. It turns out, that the new AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D started shipping from factories. Greymon55, a reliable source with hardware leaks, states that 5800X3D is shipped, and the first retail batch of these processors could reach markets by the end of the month (the end of March, 2022).
The 5800X3D is the first client processor to feature a 3D stacked-die design. AMD is introducing the new 3D Vertical Cache, a 64 MB addition to the processor's 32 MB on-die cache, which works contiguously as a 96 MB L3 cache that each of the processor's eight "Zen 3" cores can access. Apparently "Zen 3" with 3D Vertical Cache has major performance gains, with AMD claiming gaming performance parity with the Core i9-12900K.

That said, the gradual price reduction to the 5950X does make a good case for releasing the X3D version at the original price point above the 5950X.
5800x3d in main gaming system, 5800x in VR system = happy Mussels
(and then i can carefully move my 2700x with broken pins, to a spare crappy MSI B450 i have)
But your free to manually, OC and get equal speeds compared to a normal 5800x.
I'm probably not going to switch to the 5800X3D but i do want to see what it can do and mostly, the price for that one.
Price will be interesting as well (5800X is already going down as low as $299 in the States, if they want $400-450 for the 58003d then that's a hard pass).
Now, if it can free up data holds between cores/threads, & help maintain stable FPS on higher taxed GPU systems at lower CPU load, & lower GPU power usage, that’s worth looking at.
As a 3090 owner who turns a lot of that crap off (motion blur, etc etc) even at 1440p i have GPU power to spare
