Week ago, we learned AMD is launching a low-cost (if compromised) six-core Ryzen 5 5500X3D for AM4<\/a>. \u201cX3D\u201d CPUs with 3D V-Cache are attractive to gamers with their 96MB L3 cache that significantly boosts games \u2013 but they\u2019re fairly expensive. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, for instance, sells for over 480 EUR. AMD, however, is now preparing a more affordable model in the current 9000 series that could bring this technology to more gamers.<\/p>\n

Officially, AMD\u2019s 9000 series currently includes only the 9800X3D, 9900X3D, and 9950X3D models. But it now appears that a Ryzen 5 9600X3D<\/strong> is also in the works \u2013 and it may not be far from launch. This yet-unannounced model has been spotted in documentation for the Radeon AI Pro R9700 professional graphics card<\/a>, listed among CPUs supported for use with this GPU.<\/p>\n

It seems the documentation was prepared by someone unaware that this processor hasn\u2019t been released yet \u2013 unless it\u2019s a case of mistakenly copied model names. However, note that the list also includes unreleased Ryzen Pro 9000 processors, which suggests this isn\u2019t just a typo.<\/p>\n

The Ryzen 5 9600X3D is expected to be based on the same foundation as the Ryzen 7 9800X3D \u2013 meaning a single Zen 5 CPU die with cache die, with two cores disabled (a configuration used in the 9900X3D, but with two chiplets instead). Since all other Ryzen 5 CPUs are six-core, 12-thread models, it\u2019s nearly certain the 9600X3D will follow suit. Meanwhile, the full 96MB of 3D V-Cache should remain intact \u2013 AMD has never disabled part of the cache capacity it on any \u201cX3D\u201d chips so far.<\/p>\n

    We don\u2019t yet know how much the Ryzen 5 9600X3D will cost. It would be particularly appealing if it launched at a significantly lowered price \u2013 ideally under the current Ryzen 7 7800X3D from the previous generation, which now starts at around 400 EUR.<\/p>\n

    A six-core model already exists in the 7000 series \u2013 the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. For a long time, it was only available in our region via German retailer Mindfactory, but it\u2019s now also being sold by some Czech e-stores \u2013 albeit at a higher price than in Germany (where it goes for 259 EUR). Hopefully, the 9600X3D won\u2019t suffer from such limited availability.<\/p>\n
