AMD officially introduced its Ryzen 5 7600X3D on Friday, another relatively inexpensive processor for mainstream gaming builds. The chip will be a Microcenter exclusive for $299 and is also available in a bundle that offers solid value. The new processor is the cheapest X3D CPU in the Ryzen 7000 range, packing six cores and 96 MB of L3 cache to maximize gaming performance.
AMD's Ryzen 5 7600X3D has a recommended price of $299.99, making it the company's most affordable Zen 4-based CPU with a 3D V-Cache. Only an actual review will reveal whether this one is a better choice than a Ryzen 5 7600X, which has higher clocks, an unlocked multiplier, and costs $229. But the new unit certainly promises to be a decent competitor for inexpensive, non-overclocked gaming desktops.
