These are just some opinions, but the actual performance difference from the extra L3-cache layers in the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is significant. The additional SRAM layers likely improve data access speed, which can boost overall efficiency. As for the thickness of the special SRAM, it’s designed to be compact and integrated into the chip for better thermal management. The AM5 heatspreader helps dissipate heat more effectively, supporting the increased performance from these enhancements.
