AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and 5000GT Chips Start Selling in Europe
The AMD Socket AM4 platform is still alive and kicking, with AMD releasing new processor models in its 7th year. Many of these chips started selling online in Europe. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D is a slightly lower clocked version of the 5800X3D, which for many of those still on AM4 is the final upgrade to their platform. The 5800X3D may be based on the older "Zen 3" microarchitecture, but thanks to its 3D Vertical Cache technology, offers gaming performance comparable to the Core i9-12900K "Alder Lake," making even 7-year old AM4 gaming desktops contemporary. To cash in on this exact market, AMD released a more cost-effective option, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D.
The 5700X3D is an 8-core/16-thread Socket AM4 processor that features 96 MB of L3 cache thanks to the 3D V-cache technology, just like the 5800X3D, but comes with a maximum boost frequency of 4.10 GHz, compared to the 4.50 GHz of the 5800X3D. Store listings do not mention its TDP or base frequency. The 5700X3D is being listed at 271€ including taxes, or about 15-20% cheaper than the 5800X3D. A word of caution when choosing the 5700X3D would be its close to non-existent overclocking headroom, so this probably isn't a chip that you can manually overclock to performance levels of a 5800X3D while saving some 40€ on the side.
AMD also updated the lower end of its Socket AM4 product stack with the introduction of the new Ryzen 5 5600GT and Ryzen 5 5500GT. The two are spruced up (faster) versions of the current 5600G and 5500 APUs, and are based on the 7 nm "Cezanne" monolithic silicon. Both feature 6-core/12-thread CPUs based on the "Zen 3" microarchitecture, with 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a 16 MB shared L3 cache. Both are further configured with a Radeon Vega iGPU with 7 CU (448 stream processors). The 5600GT features a maximum CPU boost frequency of 4.60 GHz, compared to the 4.40 GHz of the older 5600G. The 5500GT comes with the same 4.40 GHz maximum CPU boost as the 5600G, but with a lower CPU base frequency of 3.60 GHz, compared to the 3.90 GHz of the 5600G. The 5500GT is being listed at an attractive 138€, and the 5600GT at 186€.

The X3D kicks the crap out of the X in efficiency:
Of course, then Starfield came along and I was damn glad to have the X3D because early on, getting 60FPS at any resolution required at least a 5800X3D. It's not a huge deal as games like that are so rare as to be statistically irrelevant.
