Micro Center just launched a brand-new gaming PC featuring the new AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D. The 7500X3D is seemingly the most affordable X3D chip from the Ryzen 7000 series, and, at the moment, it’s only available on the retailer’s PowerSpec line of pre-builts starting at around $899.99, as reported by PC World. At this price, you get the PowerSpec G528 gaming PC, which pairs the processors with an RTX 5060 8GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-6000 memory, and a 1TB SSD. If you spend an extra $100, you could get the same chip in the PowerSpec G527 with a more powerful Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB graphics card and double the RAM at 32GB.
This entry-level gaming processor has almost the same specifications as the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D, which was launched last year, also as an exclusive. It has the same 6 cores and 12 threads, and, of course, the 96MB of L3 cache, although it has a slightly lower clock speed of 4.0 GHz (versus the 4.1 GHz of the older chip).
