AMD has already introduced several processors with 3D V-Cache. The recently released Ryzen 7 9800X3D continues the tradition, setting new limits for PC gamers.
Rumors about the Ryzen 7 9700X3D turned out to be false. Although AMD previously released the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, there is no similar chip for the Ryzen 7000 line yet.
On Reddit, user A_Canadian_Boi shared how he created a fake PassMark benchmark for the Ryzen 7 9700X3D. Modifying the /proc/cpuinfo file in Linux allowed PassMark to recognize the Ryzen 7 9700X as a 9700X3D chip. The program did not detect any errors and registered the result in the database.
The benchmark showed frequencies higher than those of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. However, the speed could easily be faked. Deception was not the original goal.
