HP		—
ProcessorAMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D; 12 cores, 24 threads, up to 5.5 GHz, 128 MB L3

Part of the 128 MB L3 comes from second-generation 3D V-Cache; the large cache reduces trips to memory, which helps especially in games. AMD rates default TDP at 120 W.

HP		AMD Ryzen 7 8700F; 8 cores / 16 threads, 4.1–5.0 GHz, 65 W

A Zen 4, 4 nm, AM5-socket processor with 8 MB L2 + 16 MB L3 cache. It has no integrated graphics, so video comes from the graphics card. AMD lists an AI engine of up to 16 TOPS.
