AMD to launch 6-core Ryzen 5 7600X3D CPU in early September

The Zen 5-based AMD Ryzen 9000 series has been released already, but it seems AMD will still be dedicating resources to releasing new Zen 4 processors. Adding to the Ryzen 7000X3D lineup, which currently counts three SKUs, AMD is reportedly working on a 7600X3D.

According to Hoang Anh Phu, a reliable source for AMD leaks, the company is gearing up to launch the Ryzen 5 7600X3D as part of the 7000X3D series with 3D V-Cache. This move marks AMD's introduction of 6-core variants into the X3D processor lineup for the AM5 socket.

While specific details such as clock speeds, TDP, and L3 cache capacity are not provided, it's expected that the L3 cache will be around 32MB, complemented by an additional 64MB from the 3D V-Cache, resulting in a combined total of 102MB when counting with the L2 cache.

Considering that the previous 7800X3D was priced at around £330, it's likely that the new SKU will be priced below £300. As per the report, it's expected to launch in early September.

KitGuru says: Considering the performance of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, a 6-core variant, even if it had lower clocks, would likely be the go-to mid-range solution for gaming. That, however, could easily change with the upcoming Core Ultra 200 desktop series, as well as AMD's planned Ryzen 9000X3D processors in 2025.
