AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D 6-Core 3D V-Cache Desktop CPU Leaks Out: The Best Gaming Chip For AM4

AMD's upcoming Ryzen 5 5600X3D 3D V-Cache CPU has been leaked and it will aim to become the best gaming chip for the AM4 platform.

The leak comes from leaker, chi11eddog, who has posted the possible specifications of a brand new AM4 CPU, the Ryzen 5 5600X3D. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D is going to be a brand-new CPU within the Zen 3 lineup and will be compatible with the AM4 socket. So far, AMD only has a single 3D V-Cache CPU for the AM4 socket but the 5600X3D is going to change that.

Starting with the specifications, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D has the OPN "100-000001176" and will be featuring the 7nm Zen 3 core architecture. The CPU is going to feature 6 cores and 12 threads. The chip will feature 3 MB of L2 cache and a massive 96 MB L3 cache. There will be 32 MB of L3 & 64 MB of SRAM stack on the singular CCD which will be purely optimized for gaming workloads.

The 5600X3D will also be the first 6-core 3D V-Cache CPU when it launches and that opens up the room for a possible Ryzen 5 7600X3D CPU for the AM5 platform in the future. The red team also plans to bring new Ryzen APUs to cover the budget and mainstream segment on the AM5 front though not much is known about them right now.

As for the clock speeds, the chip will be rated at a base clock of 3.3 GHz and a boost clock of 4.4 GHz. These are slightly slower than the standard Ryzen 5 5600X which features a 3.7 GHz base & 4.6 GHz boost clock. Just like the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the Ryzen 5 5600X3D will come with a default TDP of 105W and would carry no overclocking support due to its fragile cache which isn't too fond of higher voltages.

There's no word on pricing or availability but the leaker states that the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D is coming to town real soon so we might get more information in the coming weeks. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D has already hit sub-$300 US pricing so if the Ryzen 5 5600X3D is priced anywhere around the $200 US range, it will easily become one of the best-sellers and further extend the shelf-time of AM4 motherboards.
