AMD Readies Ryzen 7 5700X3D and Ryzen 5 5500X3D Socket AM4 Processors
AMD Socket AM4 users are in for a treat, as the company plans two more processor models in the Ryzen 5000X3D series, according to chi11eddog, a reliable source with AMD leaks. Although based on the older "Zen 3" microarchitecture, these chips feature 3D Vertical Cache technology, which helps shore up their gaming performance to levels comparable at least to 12th Gen Intel Core "Alder Lake," giving Socket AM4 platform users a cost-effective upgrade path to prolong their gaming PC builds that could be as old as 5 years now. If you recall, AMD has formally extended "Zen 3" and 3D V-cache support to all Socket AM4 chipset generations, including AMD 300-series.
Among the two new processor models are the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, and the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. The 5700X3D is an 8-core/16-thread processor with 100 MB of total cache (that's 512 KB of L2 cache per core, plus 96 MB of L3 cache); while the Ryzen 5 5500X3D is a 6-core/12-thread chip with 99 MB of total cache. What sets the 5700X3D and 5500X3D apart from the 5800X3D and 5600X3D are lower clock speeds, and possibly, lower TDP. Both chips come with a base frequency of 3.00 GHz, compared to the 3.30 GHz of the 5600X3D and 3.40 GHz of the 5800X3D. The 5700X3D boosts up to 4.10 GHz compared to the 4.50 GHz of the 5800X3D; while the 5500X3D boosts up to 4.00 GHz when compared to 4.40 GHz of the 5600X3D. Both the 5800X3D and 5600X3D have their TDP rated at 105 W, so it's possible that AMD is using lower TDP and PPT values for the 5700X3D and 5500X3D. There's no word on when the two new chips are coming out, although AMD continues to release updates to the Socket AM4 AGESA microcode, with the latest version ComboAM4v2 1.2.0.B being released as recently as September 2023.

Speaking of the 5600X3D, it is down to $199 at MicroCenter now. Puts their combo RAM/MB/CPU price at $269. Heck of a deal for a nice entry level gaming system.
Because what people are looking for in a gaming cream of the crop X3D chip is a six core part.
The 5700X3D is the most compelling CPU I've seen from AMD in a while, as long as the price is right.
Yes i know 5950X3D and for that matter 5900X3D has very very low chances of ever being a reality.
But Yeah i think as well the new cpus are just more deffective 5800X3D than cant be sold as a full 5800X3D. Reasons can be many like cant quite hold core clocks or smt and or some cores are deffective.
Binning is very much more complicated than the general public knows. It's a very fine-grained process.
I actually liked that, because I couldn't even afford an Athlon 64 build in 2004.
Go for zen 4 now is also a bit waste with Zen 5 not that many months away. So no matter what i would wait. Also because it will be a Exspensive upgrade as i will need new motherboard and memory + maybe a new cpu cooler besides new cpu.
It's a little sad seeing AMD making AM5 to last for 4-5 years, only to see them keep offering options to AM4 users to stay a little longer on AM4 and don't jump to Intel.
I doubt AM6 will be build for longevity.
Would be a lot nicer to see cheaper x3d parts and cheaper sub $200 6 core parts on am5 already.
