Florian Meislinger, Intel's manager for technical communications, states that the company does not intend to implement an equivalent of AMD's 3D V-Cache in consumer processors.
AMD offers processors with 3D V-Cache for both data centers and consumers. Reviews agree that the 9800X3D has effectively become the king of gaming when considering absolute performance.
Intel, which recently launched the Core Ultra 200 series of processors, has officially acknowledged its rocky start and stated that the new series is more energy-efficient but approximately 5% slower. It turns out that Intel has no immediate plans to present anything similar for the consumer market. In interviews with Der8auer and Bens Hardware, Florian Meislinger confirmed that the company is working on a processor with a larger cache. However, this is intended for the data center market rather than for consumers.
"AMD processors are designed for a very specific target group, and that group is gamers. We understand that this technology can offer a lot to gamers, but it also comes with trade-offs that must be accepted. In this case, it's fine for me to have an X3D processor, which might not be as powerful in applications. This is intentional, and technologically we are still keeping this under control. This means that next year there will be processors with a cache plate, but not for desktop PCs. ... The gaming PC market is not very large for us. We still sell a very large number of processors that are not necessarily used for gaming."
Although Intel does not plan consumer processors with large cache anytime soon, the company's patents suggest that such technology is at least being considered. According to HardwareLuxx, L4 cache has appeared in patents and software updates some time ago.
