Intel Hints At Dedicated Cache Tile For CPUs But Not For Desktops

Intel has hinted at plans for a tiled cache design, similar to 3D V-Cache, but not for the desktop gaming segment.

Intel Isn’t Influenced By The Success of AMD’s “X3D” Processors, Says That They Have Limited Audience But Also Plans Introducing Dedicated Cache Tiles For Workstation/Server Segment

AMD’s “X3D” processors with dedicated 3D V-Cache are by far one of the best CPU options for high-end gaming and productivity workloads, since the extra “cache tile” really elevates the overall performance.

Team Red’s newest Ryzen 7 9800X3D “3D V-Cache” processor has seen significant sales traction and has even run out across major retailers due to the value brought in by the SKU. However, despite AMD’s success, Intel doesn’t plan on having a similar desktop CPU anytime soon, as the firm believes that the “X3D” CPUs have a minimal target audience.

This statement was given by Intel’s Tech Communications Manager, Florian Maislinger, in an interview with the famous overclocked Der8auer and Bens Hardware. Here’s exactly what Maislinger had to say:

The AMD CPUs are tailored to a very specific target group and that is gamers. We are aware that this technology can bring a lot to gamers, but that always comes with certain drawbacks and certain disadvantages and compromises that you have to make. In this case, it is good if I have an X3D CPU, which may not be as strong in applications. We are aware of this and we still have it technologically. That means that next year there will be a CPU for the first time that has a cache tile, but not in the desktop.
