3D Cache CPU's are only useful for gaming, but mostly at 1080P or 1440P resolutions at extremely high refresh rates that are only useful for extremely high refresh rate monitors. Gamers that find this useful are into competitive First Person Shooters because it gives advantages in certain tactics like peek and shoot. These are the types of games that typically experience CPU limitation, because refresh rates are in the multiple hundreds which stresses the CPU. But at 4k gaming that is never an issue.
You can get a clue that you're CPU limited by lowering the resolution or quality settings. If your frame rates don't increase, then it's probably because the CPU is limiting frame rates.
A few very recent games can experience CPU limitation at 4k. Such as the recently released Star Wars Survivor. Starfield is also CPU intensive, but maybe only with a 600 Watt massive Nvidia 4090 will you notice a difference. And the difference won't really be enough yet to really be noticeable in these games.
I'll bite at 150 if it doesn't happen no worries I'll run my 2700x to the ground till I'll upgrade to next gen.
If you really don't need to upgrade and your performance is good enough already, you are better off saving the money now and waiting a couple of years. But, that little number showing FPS won't be quite as high, ha!

It's mainly meant for gaming, that's why people pay a significant premium on this over 5700x.
What's interesting is that AMD started putting 3D v-cache on their server CPUs.
But it looks like it's mainly meant for CAD and engineering applications. https://www.anandtech.com/show/17...-epyc-7003
Oh man…I've been looking at this for so long. I have a 5500 and 6700xt and all I really play is CS2. I just don't know if it's worth keeping AM4 alive or whether I should bite and get the 7700x bundle for $370. Or, just keep doing nothing because, I really don't need to upgrade. Man this is tempting though.

When I ask such questions about my rig, I just wait. It is better to do so. There will always be deals on future tech.

I think your better off upgrading your GPU before you do anything with your CPU or platform. Your GPU will be your bottleneck after a cpu upgrade and it won't make much of a difference. I think your current system is plenty good
Currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 with a 3070 and 32 GB of RAM on a B450 board. Would it be worth it to get this or jump into the new (to me) generation of products?

The 5600 was $118 at Amazon two years ago during black Friday and it came with a video game that was just released. You've been sitting on that 2700x for 6 years 😭. The 5600 is 65W TDP too. Less money towards your electricity bill each month, and better performance.
AMD and NVIDIA are getting cocky now. When they were desperate for sales they'd give you a new game release for free. Now they boost the price up and you get no free game.
is the 3D Cache useful for video editing? tempted to get it at this price...been waiting for under 200 mark upgradeing from 3700x to keep my AM4 alive for about 2-3 more years
