Overview

• A PassMark entry leaked on August 14 reports the 5500X3D scoring 3,005 single-core points and 20,498 multi-core points, about 1.8% lower and 6% higher respectively than the standard Ryzen 5 5500.
• The Ryzen 5 5500X3D pairs six cores and 12 threads with roughly 96 MB of L3 3D V-Cache, trading off about 600 MHz in base and 200 MHz in boost clock speeds for enhanced cache.
• A Kabum listing in Brazil prices the chip at R$1,169.90 (around $216), indicating a potential ~$200 MSRP for budget gaming PCs if replicated in other regions.
• Current performance insights rely on a single synthetic PassMark sample and lack dedicated gaming benchmarks needed to confirm expected 3D V-Cache advantages.
• AMD has confined the quietly launched AM4 CPU to Latin America with no sign of a broader release as the company transitions its focus to newer platforms.
