We previously reported on this as being a tech rumour but now AMD has officially given the Ryzen 5 7600X3D the greenlight, bringing six cores and 96 MB of L3 cache to the masses. Well, only the masses in the US and even then, only those who are near one of the 28 Micro Center retail stores in that country.
Essentially nothing more than a Ryzen 7 7800X3D with two cores disabled and lower clocks, the $299 Ryzen 5 7600X3D (via Sweclockers) is the cheapest AM5 CPU to sport 3D V-Cache. However, there are two major caveats to getting your hands on one of them. First, there's a limited supply, so once they're all sold, that's it.
