The CPU for Gamers
An entry-level CPU from the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D delivers on gaming for budding enthusiasts. Boasting six cores and twelve threads, this processor utilises SMT (simultaneous multithreading technology) to optimise performance during gaming workloads. Base frequencies for this processor are 4.0GHz, but this can be boosted up to 4.5GHz with the use of Precision Boost 2 or Precision Boost Overdrive.
Overall, this generation of Ryzen processors has an incredible uplift in performance and IPC (instructions per cycle). Game with smooth frame rates, stream in high definition, and create content flawlessly. The maximum 65W TDP delivers premium performance, enabling you to get the most out of this processor.
3D V-Cache
3D V-Cache is an innovative cache system that allows the AMD Ryzen 7000X3D models to deliver incredible efficiency. The CPU’s cache memory is 3D stacked, which facilitates higher capacities and more simultaneous access to the data stored. This results in a serious uplift in gaming performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D cache is intelligently split into L1, L2, and L3 tiers, with the L3 tier sporting a 96MB capacity. In total, there is 102MB cache.
Zen 4
With the this generation of processors comes Zen 4 architecture. Evolving the highly performative Zen 3, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D CPU utilises the innovative Zen 4 architecture. The updated front-end design is paired with machine learning, enabling a better focus on core performance. Large frequency fluctuations are avoided thanks to the 256-bit data width, which also speeds up language and image processing.
Constantly innovating, AMD has integrated fourth-generation FinFET technology, creating the world’s first 5nm consumer CPU. Overall, the processor is smaller, faster, and has lower power transistors to optimise performance. Whilst the die is 18% smaller, new features have been integrated that not only enable great functionality, but improve the energy efficiency of the processor. At the same power output, there is up to 49% more performance than seen in the previous architecture.
Future-Proofed
A key feature of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is how future-proofed the platform has been made. Starting with the new socket, AM5. AMD wants this to be the platform that grows with you, supporting upcoming technological advances and industry standards.
For memory, AM5 will support DDR5 RAM modules, with maximum memory speeds up to 5200 MT/s. Additionally, a memory overclocking program has been developed specifically for the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series and DDR5, called AMD EXPO. This will offer optimised, on-click overclocking that can enhance 1080p gaming by 11% and reduce latency by up to 63ns.
The other future-proof feature is PCIe support. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is equipped with PCIe 5.0, for both graphics cards and storage. Enjoy ultra-fast connectivity on all your PCIe devices.
Integrated Graphics
The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D CPU has integrated Radeon RDNA 2 graphics, built on an all-new I/O die in 6nm with advanced low-power Navi 2 architecture. This die operates with better efficiency than previous models, thanks to a low power draw when idle or under medium loads.
AM5
To operate an AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D CPU, a motherboard equipped with an AM5 1718 LGA socket is essential. The compatible chipsets are:
- X670E
- B650 and B650E
- A620
Please note, a BIOS update may be required.
To optimise compatibility, AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs can be equipped with either an AM4 AIO or air CPU coolers or AM5 AIO or air CPU coolers. No cooler is included within the scope of delivery.
