More power, more cache, more FPS – the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D combines cutting-edge Zen 4 technology with a massive 96 MB 3D V-Cache, delivering a significant boost in performance for both gaming and work tasks. 6 Zen 4 cores with 12 threads thanks to Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) Very high single- and multi-thread performance Base clock of 4.0 GHz & 4.5 GHz Turbo with Precision Boost 2 Fast PCI Express 5.0 interface Huge L3 cache: 96 MB 3D V-Cache Compatible with AMD AM5 processor socket The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D: 6-core CPU with 4.5 GHz Precision Boost 2 Ryzen 5 7500X3D CPU with box The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D from the Raphael processor family features six CPU cores based on the Zen 4 architecture. Compared to the previous generation, each processor core now has access to the entire L3 cache, significantly increasing gaming performance. Paired with an AMD B670(E), B650E, B870E or X670(E) motherboard, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D supports the PCI Express 5.0 standard, which is twice as fast as PCIe 4.0. Like its predecessors, the 7500X3D uses the AM5 platform and is designed for use with compatible AMD chipsets. An update to the latest BIOS version is required. Ryzen 5 7500X3D CPU The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D features six physical CPU cores, each capable of processing two threads simultaneously thanks to Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), effectively doubling the core count. This 6-core processor operates at a high base clock of 4.0 GHz per core, which can be precisely adjusted in real time to your application scenario with Precision Boost 2, reaching up to 4.5 GHz Turbo within the 65-watt Thermal Design Power (TDP) limit. Higher gaming performance thanks to AMD 3D V-Cache technology With 3D V-Cache, AMD introduces technology that significantly increases average gaming performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D comes equipped with an impressive 96 MB Level 3 Cache, thanks to the 3D V-Cache technology. Why does this new memory deliver more gaming performance? When high workloads exceed the cache capacity, data is offloaded to RAM. Access times to RAM are much higher than to the CPU cache, which is located directly on the processor. The large 3D V-Cache allows the processor to access much more data quickly and speeds up calculations. As a result, your system performs more actions in less time. Resource-intensive games especially benefit from this – more frames per second ensure a smoother gaming experience.

Note: To use all features of PCI Express 5.0, an AM5 motherboard with proper PCIe 5.0 support is required. This includes AMD X670(E), B650E, and X870(E) chipsets.
