CPU cache is like countertop space in a kitchen. The more counter space you have, the more room you have to place prepped ingredients so they are easy to access while you're cooking. If you run out of counter space, you've got to go and place ingredients on the dining room table in the other room, which takes a lot longer to do each time you have to go place and get it, and you're not cooking while you're getting those ingredients.
AMD is adding substantially more counterspace (3DV-cache) into their kitchen (CPU) so the cooks (processor cores) can keep ingredients (temporary data) in quick reach rather than having to store and fetch them in/from the other room (RAM).
This amounts to significantly faster performance under certain loads, primarily gaming, since the CPU has what it needs closer to arm's reach. This does come at a cost of slower CPU speeds due to increased heat, but the fact they aren't waiting for ingredients nearly as much means they are still performing faster.
Will mostly benefit games, specifically CPU heavy games and in games that are constantly loading lots of assets. CPU-heavy simulation-type game, anything with tons of physics, units moving around, complex animation, ect. Old MMORPGs and base/city builder games are the big winners as well.
