The Ryzen 5 7500X3D is AMD's lowest-tier X3D chip yet, but it's designed specifically for high gaming performance on a budget.
Ryzen 5 7500X3D Comes Out Slightly Slower Than 7600X3D; Page Confirms Specs, Including 96 MB L3 Cache
AMD's Zen 4 lineup is still getting expanded, and we saw one of the slowest X3D chips in the series a week ago, which goes by the model name Ryzen 5 7500X3D. The processor was listed on a UK distributor website, but the recent Geekbench test result page confirms the existence of such CPU. As spotted by @BenchLeaks, someone tested the Ryzen 5 7500X3D on an ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi motherboard using the Balanced power plan on Windows 11.
The results show that the CPU scored 2,399 points in single-core and 11,323 points in multi-core tests. These are slightly lower than the scores achieved by its bigger sibling, i.e., Ryzen 5 7600X3D. The latter scores nearly 8% higher points in both tests, but do keep in mind that the performance gap may expand or shrink depending on which test result we consider for comparison. On average, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D gets nearly 2,600 points in single-core and 12,000 points in multi-core benchmarks.
This is obvious since the Ryzen 7500X3D will be a nerfed 7600X3D chip with lower clocks. The test page reveals that the 7500X3D is a 6-core/12-thread chip that offers 96 MB of total L3 cache. The CPU is going to be identical to 7600X3D in most aspects, and we expect the same 65W TDP rating as well. However, 7500X3D achieved just over 4.5 GHz as max frequency and has a base frequency of 4.0 GHz. This comes out to be 200 MHz and 100 MHz lower than the 7600X3D, respectively.
Gaming-wise, it shouldn't be far behind the 7600X3D and could potentially be the fastest budget gaming CPU ever made. We don't know the exact date of release of this CPU, and pricing-wise, it should be at <$200 or $150 will be better, considering the 9600X is already at $200 right now. Its appearance on Geekbench indicates that it should be released soon by AMD, but it will most likely be done quietly. Moreover, the availability may not be worldwide, considering AMD doesn't always release such processors in every region at the beginning. However, the processor may slowly expand to other regions later on.
