Each level is ranked according to priority of access; Level 1 (L1) cache stores data that the CPU needs to access first. L1 cache is also the fastest but holds the least amount of data, with each following level decreasing in speed but increasing in capacity.)

The Do-everything CPU
If you work and game on the same PC, this processor was made for you. I was able to overclock it pretty easily to 5.9GHz with some undervolting using a manual curve. With the overlock, this processor is 20% faster than a 7950X. I think AMD saved their binned chiplets for this processor because this thing is a beast and undervolts like a dream. In medium weight workloads, the processor has no problem pulling 5.4GHz on all cores for hours on end. In light workloads, the processor boosts to 5.9GHz, single cores. Gaming requires Game Bar (built into windows) to be running in the background for it to pick the 3D V-Cache CCD for the game, but even if that doesn't happen for some reason, you're not going to be hurting for performance. Essentially, when the 3D V-Cache kicks in, it's amazing, but when it doesn't for whatever reason, it's still a 9950X running at 5.9GHz, you're not exactly missing out.

King of CPU’s
Extremely hard to get your hands on this beast of a CPU. Worth every penny!!! Make sure you’ve accounted for the higher temps on this thing though!
