Can someone explain what X3D is on CPUs and while it better then normal CPUs without it? Thanks!

The X3D CPUs have extra cache memory. This means they do not have to call for external data to process as often as CPU’s that do not have as much on board cache. 
This makes these CPUs “The bees knees” when gaming. The pros at AMD provide detailed explanations:

Thanks so much for the video. It was very helpful. Wish I had one of those chips

it will be allot more faster in cache ram... than the standard ones but its worth it if you like performance

Yes...The extra cache memory is an improvement over the vanilla variants of CPUs...its like having a turbo car rather than a regular sedan
