With 3D V-Cache Performance Improvements.
Taken from TPU … Although not yet available directly from AMD, its latest chipset drivers, version 4.03.03.624, have been released by Gigabyte and possibly other motherboard partners and it contains a couple of interesting additions. The first one is support for USB4, albeit only for 64-bit versions of Windows 10 at this point in time. This part really only applies to the Zen 3+ “Rembrandt” mobile Ryzen 6000-series CPUs so far, as they’re the only products from AMD that supports USB4 at this point in time.
The other interesting part is that AMD has included a 3D V-Cache Performance Optimizer Driver for both the 64-bit version of Windows 10 and Windows 11. As to what this driver does, is anyone’s guess at this point in time, but it’s likely to be some kind of cache scheduler, or possibly a means for AMD to allocate software that can’t take advantage of the 3D V-Cache to the CPU native cache. We should be finding out in a couple of weeks time, as the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is scheduled for retail availability on the 20th of April.
