AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Uses A Thick Dummy Silicon That Comprises 93% Of The CCD Stack And Has No Performance Purpose

The CCD stack with 3D V-Cache on the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is only 40-45µm in total, but the rest of the layers add up to a whopping 750µm, which is entirely non-functional but is crucial for stability.

AMD uses thick layers of non-functional silicon on the Ryzen 7 9800X3D's CCD with SRAM extending on the edges for a stable structure AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D's incredible gaming performance doesn't need a ...
