AMD leaks new entry-level Ryzen 5 9600X3D CPU — new gaming-optimized 3D V-Cache chip expected before the end of the year

AMD Ryzen 9000 CPU.

AMD has confirmed the existence of several upcoming processors, including a new entry-level Ryzen 5 9600X3D desktop CPU featuring its popular gaming-optimized 3D V-Cache technology. In its latest driver release notes for the Radeon RX 9070, 9070 XT, 9060 XT, and the Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card for AI workstations, the company has listed the Ryzen 5 9600X3D, alongside other unreleased chips under the Ryzen 9000 PRO series.

The Ryzen X3D range of processors has been a popular choice, particularly among gamers, due to their enhanced 3D V-Cache technology. This helps boost gaming performance by offering a larger L3 cache memory, which allows the CPU to access game data faster, resulting in higher frame rates and smoother gameplay. The addition of the Ryzen 5 9600X3D not only expands AMD's X3D lineup, but it also becomes a new entry point for gamers and PC builders who want the latest Zen 5 and AM5 platforms paired with 3D V-cache.
