AMD Readies Ryzen 5 5600X3D to Take on Intel's 13th Gen Core i5 + DDR4 Options
AMD is finally coming around to the idea of a 6-core processor with 3D Vertical Cache technology, only this time it's for the older Socket AM4 platform. The new Ryzen 5 5600X3D could be positioned competitively against the lower end of Intel's 13th Gen Core i5 processor series, so it could attract a class of DIY gaming PC builders that can take advantage of cheap Socket AM4 motherboards and DDR4 memory to build formidable mainstream gaming PC builds.
The Ryzen 5 5600X3D is based on the same "Vermeer" 3DV cache MCM as the 5800X3D. It is a 6-core/12-thread processor with a base frequency of 3.30 GHz, and 4.40 GHz boost, which are both 100 MHz less than those of the 5800X3D. The processor gets the full 96 MB of last-level cache (that's 32 MB of on-die L3 cache + 64 MB of 3DV cache), which the 5800X3D offers. It bears the OPN "100-000001176." The company didn't reveal pricing, but given that the 5800X3D can be had for as low as $290, the 5600X3D could possibly target a $200-225 price, making it an attractive option, given that you can pair it with even cheap B450 chipset motherboards priced well under $100, and 32 GB of DDR4 memory that can be had around the $60-mark. The 5600X3D could also provide an affordable upgrade path to those still on the AM4 platform, with Ryzen 3000-series processors.

Any time Intel mentions the environment or "eco friendly" packaging they should be slapped a hundred times reminding of their stupid games with unnecessary motherboard/socket updates :rolleyes:
In 2015, the top selling CPU according to Newegg Business was the 4790k for $310. $310 in 2015 is worth approximately $385 in 2023.
Today in 2023, one can buy a 5800x3d for ~$320. This may not be the best available gaming CPU but it is VERY close. Newegg's page shows the best selling CPU right now as the 5700x which is on sale today for ~$200.
The 7800x3d is better than the 5800x3d and costs $449.
$385 to $449 16% higher than average inflation but I don't think that is a fair comparison. You can buy a great gaming CPU like the 5800x3d for cheaper, in terms of inflation, than you could with the 4790k in 2015.
Although it is not an up to date graphic on GPU prices, I think it makes my point with far less typing.
This is amazing news really, to be able to have a gaming-specific processor like that for such a low price.
5600X3D + something like Radeon 6800 and 16GB DDR4 sounds like the most affordable high end gaming machine.
While i am happy that AM4 is still getting life and demonstrates that platform longevity is important, they are releasing this very late and for $200 i think the 12600k or 5700X will be the better choice for an all rounder in comparison to the 5600X3D.
Good VRM, good feature set.
