AMD V-Cache
Past few days I've been going through some research for a server upgrade (currently using a Ryzen 9 5900X).
As I would like to upgrade my personal PC, I've made the decision to upgrade the server and use the current hardware as my PC, Which is a BIG upgrade coming from an ancient I7 4th gen CPU..
But I've got down the rabbit hole of finding claims around V-cache being useful for games, but also hosting server like Factorio and possible MC. That said I'm yet to find any sort of benchmark or results.
But as I'm already locking dockers and VMs to cores. I don't think the V-Cache only being present on the first CCD would cause an issue. In fact I would be able to test the server on both CCDs and draw my conclusions. And spread other applications accordingly too.
I would be getting a 7900X3D. Unless someone is telling me differently. I've thought about getting the 7800X3D but this would of course remove to option to choose between CCDs. And I'm also don't see how I can get away with 8 less threads compared to what I have now.
What are your opinions around these CPUs with V-cache? Would it be worth the extra 110€ between 7900X and 7900X3D?
The price difference is not much of an issue for me.
Would you still recommend a different Intel CPU?
