AMD has just officially announced the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D—the first laptop processor to sport the company’s excellent 3D V-Cache technology. And it’s potentially one of the most exciting mobile gaming chips AMD has ever released, because it uses a hefty extra dollop of L3 cache to boost the frame rates of the majority of games.
I say potentially only because it’s limiting the 3D V-Cache tech to its highest spec Zen 4 laptop chip, and then limiting that solo chip to an exclusivity deal with Asus alone. For one device, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D.
“This will be available in one laptop,” AMD’s Donny Woligroski tells us. “So, this will be exclusively available, for the foreseeable future, in the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17.”

After getting leaked earlier in the week, the machine will be launching on August 22nd this year, so a wee summer treat around Gamescom, then.
