Eta: to clarify the issue with the handoff, his chip only had the extra vcache on half of the cores. Some games were using the die (with half the cores) without the extra vcache, therefore defeating the purpose of having the extra vcache to begin with. Other tasks that don’t care about vcache and would do better with higher clock speeds would prioritize the slower die with the extra vcache, etc, etc.




I guess this isn't the case, but I thought I read somewhere that the 3d vcache on the 7950x3d was split, allowing it to be split between cores (say 8/8).

The 7950x3D has two processor dies with 8 cores on each die. While each die has vcache, the extra 3D vcache is only on one of the die. So one die with 8 cores has access to the normal amount of vcache while another die with 8 cores has access to the normal vcache plus the extra 3D cache.
