192-MB L3 cache-sporting Ryzen 5000X3D monsters shown with unreleased 64-core Zen 3 Ryzen Threadripper in AMD lab tour

A new video from hardware purists Gamers Nexus has seen a trip to AMD labs in Austin result in the showing off of various unreleased processors. A potential AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5990X was part of the show followed by a couple of unreleased chips sporting a huge L3 cache of 192 MB, with these presumably being the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X3D and Ryzen 9 5950X3D.

I wonder how much the thing would cost. Four thousand dollars? Ten thousand dollars?

I am struggling to save enough money for a build based around the venerable Ryzen 3 1200.

Yikes. I don't know your country or level of poverty but you might as well grab the first <$200 used/refurbished PC you can get your hands on. An old Skylake quad-core could be faster.

I'd love if AMD released a 160MB L3 cpu that was only an 8 core by placing two 64MB vcache chips stacked on top of each other in the spot of the missing core die. That would give huge cache for gaming boost, plus let us overclock the core die up to 5.5ghz on all cores. Now that would be one crazy gaming monster.
