A new entry-level AMD Ryzen X3D processor has surfaced in a UK retail listing, hinting that the company is preparing to expand its 3D V-Cache lineup once again—this time with the Ryzen 5 7500X3D.
According to a listing spotted by well-known hardware leaker @momomo_us, the processor carries the OPN code 100-000001904, confirming it as a new SKU under AMD’s Raphael architecture. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D is expected to feature 6 cores and 12 threads, 96 MB of total cache (32 MB L3 plus 64 MB stacked 3D V-Cache), and a 65 W TDP.
Clock speeds are reportedly lower than the existing Ryzen 5 7600X3D, with boost frequencies projected to fall 300–400 MHz below 4.7 GHz. If accurate, the chip would become AMD’s most affordable 3D V-Cache CPU, designed to bring high gaming performance to more budget-conscious builds.

Expanding the X3D Lineup
The Ryzen 5 7500X3D would join AMD’s growing list of X3D processors, which currently includes the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, Ryzen 9 7950X3D, and Ryzen 5 7600X3D.
With CES 2026 approaching, reports suggest AMD is also preparing Zen 5-based X3D refresh models, including the Ryzen 7 9850X3D and Ryzen 9 9950X3D2. The latter is rumored to feature 16 cores, 32 threads, 192 MB of L3 cache, and a 200 W TDP, positioning it as AMD’s next flagship gaming CPU.
Budget Gaming Focus
The Ryzen 5 7500X3D appears to target the mainstream gaming segment, offering the efficiency of 3D V-Cache technology at a lower price tier. Its configuration mirrors that of the 7600X3D but with slightly reduced clocks—an approach that could allow AMD to reuse silicon more efficiently while hitting competitive price points.
There’s currently no confirmation of global availability, though AMD’s past strategy offers a clue: the Ryzen 5 5600X3D debuted as a Micro Center exclusive before eventually seeing broader distribution. If history repeats itself, the 7500X3D could follow a similar rollout strategy.
Looking Ahead
With Intel preparing its Arrow Lake desktop CPUs and AMD expanding its X3D range across both Zen 4 and Zen 5, early 2026 is shaping up to be another competitive year for PC gamers. Should the Ryzen 5 7500X3D launch at CES 2026, it would strengthen AMD’s position in the budget gaming market—bringing 3D V-Cache technology to an even wider audience.

affordable? It’s around 300$ tho
Phạm Gia Thành literally what I paid for 7800x3d. Including 23% VAT tax
*checks currency exchange rates*
Ok,my bad I paid $330. Still – not really a good deal
Phạm Gia Thành how would you know the price lol
Tin Mokricki estimated based on previous x3d cpus
Phạm Gia Thành 7600x3d was sold for 300€ in europe. 7500x3d must be even lower.

So they know they have issues with 9900x3d and 9950x3d and made 6 cores now, are amd going back in time again as intel
Dan Ingvordsen them increasing options for lower price range is in no shape or form „having issues“. It‘s showing they have the capacity to develop more things and giving people more options, even though they‘re already dominating the market
Exory Sama Should be a 8 core not a 6 core, we are very soon in 2026.
Dan Ingvordsen if you want 8 cores, just get one of the dozens of 8 core options. If you dont care about high performance but rather about budget, go buy the 6 core.
Dan Ingvordsen What’s wrong with covering a budget market?
Dan Ingvordsen never had any issues with 9950x3d
Dan Ingvordsen there are no issues with the 9900x3d or 9950x3d. This is just a more budget offering. Perfect for 4k builds who don’t need 8c.
Chris Callaghan 4k absolutely needs 8 cores lmfao, game logic becoming multithreaded in modern titles has nothing to do with render resolution
You CAN use a 6core cpu, it just won’t have that great of 1% lows ♂️ source i use one lmfao
Nick Plourde you use an x3d 6core?
Also. https://youtu.be/Tp-phTJBqME?si=5htUrTFbyNWWcu5C
You’ll notice the 6 core and 7800X3d perform close when graphics are set to ultra. At 4k it’s the same because it’s more gpu limited. X3d does provide benefit above and beyond core count.
Chris Callaghan i literally game in 4k, i can assure you, 8 core cpus make a huge difference ♂️
Dan Ingvordsen holy copium
Dan Ingvordsen
My guess is that some 7900X3D’s are not meeting requirement & the X3D CCD is OK… I don’t blame them for repurposing them as lesser CPU’s rather that sending them to e-waste.
Jeff Hine there’s steps
Make 8c chiplet package
if it works= 7700x / 7800x3D
if 2 cores are faulty= 7600x / 7600x3D
if it doesn’t meet Vmin, derate= 7500x3D
Make 2x 8c chiplets+Vache package
if it works 7950x / 7950x3D
if 2 cores are faulty or fail Vmin, derate=7900x / 7900x3D
7900x/3d chips have already failed some level of testing but the yields are so good the number of chips that cant even be a 7900x/3D is likely too low to disable CCD1 and try to create another SKU.
Dan Ingvordsen what issues?
They are simply using old silicon, this is nothing new for AMD, they’ve been doing this for many years now. For the right price this will be a good option.
Dan Ingvordsen UR PROPAGANDA is good. Motherboards have issue not cpu.
Dan Ingvordsen never had any issues with my 9950x3d
Szabó Viktor You are lucky, i have read on reddit that is so many storys, people have issues with there cpus heat shuttering even black screens with 9900 +9950 x3d and x
Dan Ingvordsen they actually didnt have issues with cpus,but motherboards had issues with 9800X3D.
Dan Ingvordsen wich issues?? I cant find one with mine
Hell yeah, was just about to plan my itx console sized pc build for travelling, will wait
Why don’t they Release R5 5500X3D everywhere in the world i want a cheap upgrade from my R5 3600X.
John Amsley Ancheta woaaaaa
Jessan Keene Soledad
But why
Ayos more x3d options sa mid tier builds
Cyprian Chris Ambrose
it’s still gonna cost a lot anw, huge stores gonna buy the whole stock and resell it for double the price
Either that or they bundle it with a motherboard and ram so you’re forced to buy a set.
NEVER EVER EVER BUY AMD !!!
Erik Mossin Langgaard get back to me when intel has 3d v cache and solves the overheating issues. overpriced garbage
Calvin Douglas GET A FUCKING BRAIN YOU IDIOT!!! AMD CANT PERFORM AT ALL IT ONLY CRASH AND BURNS!!!
BUT YEAH I KNOW STUPID PEOPLE LIKE YOU…
Erik Mossin Langgaard amd has the best consumer market cpus in terms of speed, temp, and price per performance. lick my fat nuts intel tard
Erik Mossin Langgaard why ? i’m genuinely asking

Going backwards
Md Nazmul Alam Evan This is for budget setups.
Md Nazmul Alam Evan really bold of you to assume one can only expand unidirectionally. This is called “appealing to the masses” in my book.
Christian Shari Adducul
Low to mid range is where most money is so no wonder they do this.
Wojciech Szatawski
They didn’t release this to make money though. It’ll be probably pricy…
They released it because they’re about to discontinue 7000 and they had many leftover chips…
7600X3D is overpriced af and this will be as well sadly

Who’s buying 6 cores anymore that’s below minimum spec.
Jonathon Rosalia fr its ass
Karl Breau when th consoles went 8 cores that was the death to anything less then that for games and that’s why x3d is for
There are going to be a lot of games these are just going to be dogs in from the missing 2 cores.
Jonathon Rosalia Just like Nvidia 5050 gpu’s its just for idiots who wants to feel im the same league as other just like Mercedes A-Class cars its such a stupid buy
Karl Breau 100% if your gpu you paid extra for isn’t faster then a apu why did you bother.
Jonathon Rosalia 6-core CPUs are perfect for people who are getting into PC just for gaming and need the extra money for another component. For example, where I live, a Ryzen 5 9600X — which has the latest and most efficient architecture — can already be found for around $150-175, while all X3D processors are priced above $420. Technology keeps advancing, but as long as you’re not buying a 5090 — which is currently the best there is — and pairing it with a 6-core processor, it doesn’t really make sense to worry about it. Especially considering that the 8-core trend is expected to dominate in the next 4–6 years, and by that time we might already be on AM7-8, meaning you’d have to spend twice as much to replace all your components because they’ll be considered “outdated.” We have to keep in mind that someone who buys a 5090 is very likely to also get the 9950X3D, because if they can afford that graphics card, they definitely have the money for the CPU as well.
Gabii VazquezI have a b540 wifi Bluetooth MB,32 gig ram,Ryzen 5 5500 and Radeon 6700 10gig and I’m running any games I wanna play no problem.
I’m not into gaming heavily but to me it hasn’t failed at anything I’ve tried..that’s at 1080,haven’t tried 1440 yet because my monitor is older anyway.
Gabii Vazquez I had the 8 core 7700x with a 5070ti and was being bottlenecked by it on battlefield 6. So there’s that
Jeff Huseman The CPU is Zen 4 and a bit outdated for newer graphics cards — this is a problem many people have. If you’re going to buy a next-generation GPU, make sure your CPU is also from the latest generation, and also make sure your BIOS is compatible, for example with PCIe 5.0, and that you don’t have Battlefield installed on a hard drive. Remember that this new graphics card relies on AI rather than pure hardware power — it’s more dependent on your other components. That’s why, right now, even though the 9600X is worse in almost every other aspect, it’s much better for gaming because of its improved single-core performance, which makes it far superior for CPU-dependent games like Battlefield 6. the price of all cpu can be very misleading
William Murray You can play all games in HD, even if it’s on low settings — just stick with that until around 2027, when the new generation of BIOS, CPUs, and graphics cards arrives. Then wait for Black Friday 2027 to build a complete PC at the best possible price.
From the time I hit the power button as long as I put the password in fast it’ll be all the way booted in 4 to 5 seconds,Including entering the 4 digit passcode.
I’m pretty happy with it being am4 setup.
Its got 1tb ssd had a 500gig sata SSD in it too but I took it out to put into a cheap laptop I got to speed it up a little and make it cooler.
We was even using my old r.o.g laptop to game and it was doing 60fps everything we tried and it’s like 14 years old lol.
Maybe a slightly better processor when one goes on sale and a 2tb ssd upgrade for 3tb total and it’ll be just fine for a long while.
Gabii Vazquez your actually better off at higher resolution when your cpu sucks to put the load on th gpu and not have as much fps bounce which is another issue with not enough cores if windows starts doing a update all the sudden you have a 4 core to work with.
Jonathon Rosalia works just fine in Fortnite, valorant, csgo, apex, and overwatch. More people play those than your newest AAA game at 4k lol
Jonathon Rosalia bro you can game fine on 4 cores. Unless you you’re going for crazy frames or multitasking. V cache more important than core count…
Jonathon Rosalia people who don’t game are going to be completely fine with 6 cores lol… Below minimum spec
Tim Sporish it’s a x3d cpu it’s for gaming that’s what they are sold as…
Minimum spec is 8 cores and 16gb of ram under that you wasted your money,
Jonathon Rosalia depends what games.. but if you are building a gaming rig without researching what CPU you need then yeah you’ll fall short, but most people play at 1080, and at 1080 a 6 core should be fine for plenty of games
Tim Sporish not true about resolution aligning with core count in reality some games may be easy to run but a lot of them have alot going on that requires calculation . Not to mention the high cost of am5 means you’re not a low end gamer. This cpu just makes zero sense in reality and seems like another AMD money grab since they don’t
Have any of you actually looked at performance charts? They hold their own easily
Jonathon Rosalia the majority of people…
Jonathon Rosalia this dude has no idea
Miguel Rodriguez Reyes why do you think that I have no idea
It’s proven go look at benchmarks 6 cores more often then not it’s keeping up with 8 cores and it’s not going to get better.
Buying a cpu you have to replace in 2 years is throwing away Monty and I say you should have bought a better cpu to start with save that extra and get the 9800x3d or even if you can’t save money and just blow it a 7800x3d is still a better choice.
Jonathon Rosalia Although what you says is partly true, right now it’s not entirely accurate — having more cores won’t give you better performance if IPC remains the main priority for workloads. Six cores will start to fall short according to AMD in about 5–6 years from now, and it could take even longer depending on the CPU. I’m basing this on the data from the 9600X, and the reason it can last that long is because of its architecture. That’s why when you compare it with a more expensive X3D version, the performance difference is about 90%, since the other one benefits from the 3D cache, which gives it a boost in gaming. I can give a personal example — I had a Ryzen 9 5900X, a beast in threads and cores, and it’s terrible for gaming. It runs nothing well because of how the architecture works and how 101% of games depend on single-core performance.
Forgot what game this was,but I was just getting into stats and learning more about specs and levels of hardware and turned this on so I could see my fps.

Gabii Vazquez yep,this one will get passed down to one of the kids I love.
It was for one of them to begin with,found it at a pawnshop for $370 out the door complete and I added 16 more gigs of ram and a water cooler mainly to make it look cool for him but then 4 months later he got another bday cou from a distant uncle that’s a 840 mb I believe and a Ryzen 7 7600x and a 5070 so I took this one back so we could both play cause I’m 240 miles away and don’t see em as much as I’d like.
But I thought about just putting a slightly better processor and let it ride how it is.
I’m really happy with it for what I gave even tho some elitist in other groups have told me it’s trash and wasn’t worth it.

Jonathon Rosalia idk what ur smokin.
Jonathon Rosalia because not everybody is rich and cant afford ryzen 7/9?
Zachary Alan Sunam then buy used or last gen 7800x3d if you can’t buy new
Throwing money into a fire on garbage just to say you I have the latest cpu is stupid it’s like the idiots who buy athlons to say they will upgrade later why did you buy that shit and waste your cpu budget.
Jonathon Rosalia I wouldn’t do it but maybe some will.
Jonathon Rosalia the number of cores isn’t an indicator of performance. It depends on the game.
Branden Jew actually there is a documented link between core count and fps especially when you try to get to a higher fps number and are holding your gpu back.
6 core is grandpa office pc now just like 4 cores became
Jonathon Rosalia so you’re saying a bulldozer cpu (AMD FX) with 8 cores is better than a modern 9600x?
Branden Jew no that’s trash no matter why you compare it to it lost to 4 cores over a decade ago and a bulldozer 8 core was actually only 4 cores since AMD fucked up the front end so bad it could only light up 4 at a time.
Your trying to be slick but not what I’m saying I’m saying on comparable cores 6 cores isn’t enough just like that bulldozer is going to be a bottleneck so is the lack of cores.
You may get away with it for now but you built a machine that’s obsolete off the bat just like back in the day the people arguing a dual core is good enough or the people who clung to there intel 7700k 4 cores.
Branden Jew actually it is a lack of cores leads you to a lot of cou issues. Go look at AMD’s past releases of 6 core x3d CPUs they trailed far behind the 8 cores same with non x3d CPUs the 6 cores don’t perform
You can’t sit here and gas light me about it when all the facts and benchmark lists say 6 cores isn’t enough.
Jonathon Rosalia
For gamers it’s more than enough, for editors and developers yeah 8 cores is recommended
Sofiane no 8 cores is recommended for gamers 24 cores is recommend for developers look at specs for games not just how you feel
Jonathon Rosalia well, I’ve been playing all sort of games at ultra quality, with a 6 cores processor and never had the slightest problem
Sofiane if you compare to 8 core systems I bet you see what you’re leaving on the table not to mention that CPUs going to age like milk compared with a 8 core from the same generation.
Jonathon Rosalia Intel
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/244818/intel-core-i5110-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-30-ghz/specifications.html
Jonathon Rosalia a modern 6 core can run absolutely any game perfectly fine, most of the time the 8 core CPUs are about 5% faster. So unless the price is extremely close the 6 core are a better deal by far.
Петър Иванов not really when th 8 cores are still good 2 generations from now and the 6 cores are in the trash bin
How to waste your cpu budget in 2025 buying 6 cores.
Jonathon Rosalia you are so far from being correct it’s funny, even the latest games can’t properly utilise 8 cores . And i know that because my CPU is 8 core and even in the latest games it is not that far ahead of the 6 core CPUs like the 7500f/7600/9600x.
Петър Иванов you must be looking at some very different benchmarks then the ones the rest of the world sees since 6 cores are way down the cpu performance list across games and it’s not getting better with new games minimum being 8 cores
Go waste your cpu budget on 6 cores and replace it in a year when it’s running like shit.
Jonathon Rosalia where exactly is the 9600x in the benchmarks you watch ? You are delusional.
Петър Иванов its way down the list below last gen’s 8 cores and 3 gen old stuff form intel that has more cores. Only things it’s beating that are 8 cores or more are the am4 8 cores that are not x3d since even they preform better in a-lot of titles.
Jonathon Rosalia on average it’s like 5% behind current gen 8 cores.
Петър Иванов that’s a best case scenario 5% it gets much wider if your games cpu intensive like city skyline which can 100% a threadripper. That 5% is just going to get wider I’ve seen it for generations the cut down chips have planned obsolescence on them AMD knows your going to want a new cpu in 2 years after getting a premium for this 6 core x3d which is in reality a defective 9700x3d they needed something to do with.
Jonathon Rosalia that might be the only game I’ve seen to stress a CPU and still my r7 7700 was not at 100%. Also the 9700x3d doesn’t exist if it did it would be 1:1 with the 9800x3d . Core count is not that important as corr generation and cache. Budget builds are thriving with a 7500f/9600x amd would be fine for years to come.amd since they are am5 it will be an easy upgrade in the future. Not everyone has 9800x3d money the same way you don’t drive a Ferrari.
Jonathon Rosalia wdym lmfao, most games only use less than 6 cores… wth you mean below minimum.. having 6 cores 12 threads is more than enough with any games paired with a mid teir current gen card like a 5060 or 9060xt or even a B580
Selvester Carl why waste your money on a cpu that’s going to age like milk
The benchmarks show 6 isn’t enough today so why would you waste your money on building a new pc for the next few years of games coming out that is going to be below the minimum
Go look at the specs for games launching this year they all want a 8 core of some flavor now.
Jonathon Rosalia from which benchmarks? The number of cores is invalid if the same 6 cores can boost to 5ghz, even old gen speaking… I haven’t even seen some old 5600x or i5 12400f falling behind just because they are 6 cores ? Tell me whats actually below minimum? 8 Cores are for those with enough budget and wants to pair their cpu with a modestly mid to high teir video card like 70 series cards and above. Gamers dont just game on tripple A’s and most of us play on a relic and still be fine, I would agree to get an 8 core if you plan on only doing 1440p with high settings on a tripple A game but other than that a 6 core would still be able to hit that 60 fps at lower settings with also the current frame gens. I can attest that games actually dont need that much, currently using a 7950x and most of my games just use 4 to 6 cores at 5.5ghz and older games use 2….
Jonathon Rosalia also the newer games requires to have 8 cores on maximum settings but it is more on the gpu they focus on for the specs…..so even a 4090 would still need frame gens on how unoptimized slop eu5 or their engine is
Selvester Carl no one said max settings that’s minimum spec for the new games coming out. 8 cores has been the minimum since th current consoles came out it’s what games are coded to run on 8 or more cores. 6 cores or less is for a office pc.
Jonathon Rosalia You can game on quad core and even dual core processors, what even is this comment?
Jonathon Rosalia it’s like having 12 cores
Might be best to make these. Some gpus dont need a higher end X3D chip as the GPU is the bottleneck. Perfect for mid range builds
Tone Flo Bru-c depends what we count midrange, my 5800X3D even at 4k in some games bottleneck my 9070xt and that people count as a midrange card nowadays, this 7500X3D should be on par performance wise

7800x3d is cheaper than a 7600x3d right now at Microcenter with its member sale going on. I never understood the 7600x3d price point it’s so close to the 7800 why not just get that. If they can make this 7500 200 bucks or so then it would be worth considering
It’s clearance for the non-qualified 7600X3D… it’s clearance for profit

Ossama Taki
Nope. We need at least 8 cores lol
This is a banger !
7800x3d is the best value you can get for high end gaming. You can pair it with a 4090 and still have no major bottleneck. I have a 7800x3d paired with a 4070ti Super and the gpu is my bottleneck. And if you take a look online the 4070tiS is not cheap by any means
Jonathan Bungay well duh, cause they’re out of production lmfao, you can get a 5070ti for under 1kusd

This is the new way of disposing of lower grade silicon, slap 3d cache on it. Maybe one day theyll figure out people want max CU igpus on low end cpus
They make processors worse and worse, and in this way they pretend that the socket will last forever
They’re just milking the x3d knowing people will buy it even if it’s on their subpar binned cpus. Will it actually be good in comparison to just an X version especially at a budget price point. We’ll have to see.
nan mais ils regalent franchement
If it 200$, it’s a very good cpu, if 250$ or more, then buy 7800x3d, the 7600x3d already a lot slower than 7800x3d. This one even slower
