The one in the GN video was a dual V-Cache 5950X3D. 192MB of total L3 and the full 16C/32T.
Sign me the hell up! One of the biggest issues with the 5950x was power draw coming up against most am4 Mobo limits. X3d tends to be geared for lower power because of cooling reasons - it might just work!
X3D has no issues with cooling. I wish that myth would die. The extra cache is over the existing L3 cache, not the cores. The cores have exactly the same amount of inert material above them as with the non-X3D chips.
The chips are lower power solely because of the voltage cap, and any additional binning that said cap allows.
