AMD touts gaming leads over Intel's midrange chips pending independent verification.

Overview

  • AMD sets a $269 MSRP for the Ryzen 5 7500X3D, making it the lowest-priced X3D option on the AM5 platform at launch.
  • The 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 processor features 96MB of L3 cache with 64MB 3D V-Cache, a 65W TDP, 4.0/4.5GHz clocks, and a small RDNA 2 iGPU.
  • AMD-provided benchmarks cite double-digit gains over Intel rivals, including 13% in AAA games and 22% in esports versus the Core Ultra 5 245KF.
  • Against the Core i5-14600K, AMD lists advantages that include an example of 540fps in PUBG at 1080p versus 409fps, which remains unverified by third parties.
  • AMD says the chip will be available in North America and EMEA, and outlets such as PCGamesN report their independent testing is still underway.
