AMD reveals price for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D alongside six other CPUs
AMD has just announced its expanded lineup of Ryzen CPUs that targets a range of price points. The star of the show here is AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D with a price tag of $449 USD. This CPU utilizes AMD’s new 3D V-Cache technology, which manages to load up the CPU with 100MB of L2+L3 cache in total. It certainly isn’t a cheap processor, but it’s one that should be a powerhouse for gaming.
The announcement for these CPUs has been in the cards for a short while. Last week there were leaks and rumors that suggested these CPUs did exist. At the time, it seemed like AMD was preparing to make the announcement sometime around April 20. And that did turn out to be partially correct. AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D will indeed be released on April 20, while the rest of the CPUs will arrive on April 4.
Intel’s Alder Lake launch managed to shake up AMD’s place in the tech space, and the new CPUs that AMD just announced aren’t beating Intel on performance just yet. However, AMD’s new midrange CPU offering is thankfully affordably priced below the $300 USD mark. In fact, most of these processors sit below $200 USD, meaning consumers will finally have a few more choices to consider when shopping for new CPUs.
AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D in particular features some cool new tech. Essentially, AMD has 3D stacked the L3 cache on top of the rest of the CPU to triple the amount of onboard cache a normal Ryzen 5800X CPU would have. This in turn allows the CPU to handle more operations without making excessive calls to the slower components in the system, speeding up the CPUs overall performance. AMD’s V-Cache should provide a big boost in gaming performance, with official estimates citing average fps gains of about 15% and enough overall performance to
