The new AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D is out in the wild and, despite previously being touted as a US exclusive for Micro Center, it’s now on sale in Germany. It looks like a good chip too. Initial hardware tests are showing that it outperforms the new Ryzen 7 9700X, making it an interesting alternative for gamers looking to save some money.
There’s a lot to like about the Ryzen 5 7600X3D, on paper. This chip might have two fewer cores than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is still the best gaming CPU on the market right now, but the use of 3D V-cache in this Socket AM5 AMD CPU means it’s actually out-performing AMD’s new Zen 5 CPUs in some game tests.
