AMD has two new X3D CPUs in the pipeline (image via AMD)
A new leak says that AMD is working on two new CPUs with 3D V-cache, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D and the Ryzen 7 7700X3D. Both feature 96 MB of L3 cache and are underclocked versions of their better-specced siblings.
New information posted by a leaker with an excellent track record of AMD-related leaks suggests that AMD is still not done with the AM4 platform. Previously, it launched limited quantities of the Ryzen 5 5600X3D. Unfortunately, it was only available to US residents via Microcenter, and it is practically a collector’s item now because its availability is severely limited. Thankfully, there are two more Zen 3 X3D SKUs in the works, namely the Ryzen 5 5500X3D and Ryzen 7 5700X3D.
The Ryzen 7 5700X3D is essentially an underclocked Ryzen 7 5800X3D (US$322 on Amazon) with eight cores, sixteen threads and base/boost clocks of 4.1/3.0 GHz. Similarly, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D reduces the core/thread count to 8/16 and reduces the boost clock to 4.0 GHz. Both have 96 MB of L3 cache. This is all we know about the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and Ryzen 5 5500X3D for now.
A US$150 price tag for the latter seems plausible, given the Ryzen 5 5600X3D retails for around US$200 regularly. Similarly, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D could cost around US$250. One can only hope that these are launched globally and not limited to a retailer, as the Ryzen 5 5500X3D, in particular, has the potential to absolutely demolish the budget CPU market despite running on an older platform.

I’ve been an avid PC gamer since the age of 8. My passion for gaming eventually pushed me towards general tech, and I got my first writing gig at the age of 19. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and have worked in the manufacturing industry and a few other publications like Wccftech before joining Notebookcheck in November 2019. I cover a variety of topics including smartphones, gaming, and computer hardware.
