Recently, benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D processor appeared in the Geekbench test database. This product belongs to the Ryzen 7000 series and is the lowest-specced X3D model currently available.
The processor features a 6-core, 12-thread design and boasts a substantial 96MB of L3 cache, consistent with its sibling, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. The base clock frequency is 4.0GHz, with a maximum boost frequency of approximately 4.5GHz. Compared to the 7600X3D, these two frequency parameters are lower by 100MHz and 200MHz, respectively.
The chip continues to utilize 3D V-Cache technology, which enhances data access efficiency by stacking additional cache. In the Geekbench 6.5.0 test, the Ryzen 5 7500X3D scored 2399 points in single-core and 11323 points in multi-core performance.
The test platform utilized an ASUS ROG Strix X870-A Gaming WiFi motherboard running on the Windows 11 operating system. For reference, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D scores approximately 2600 points in single-core and around 12000 points in multi-core under the same test version.
The 7500X3D’s single-core and multi-core performance are both lower than the latter, by an approximate margin of 8%. This gap is generally consistent with the frequency reduction range. The test record indicates that the power plan was set to the “Balanced” mode. This mode restricts the processor’s instantaneous power release, which may have a minor impact on the benchmark results.
The processor’s Thermal Design Power (TDP) is 65W, which is consistent with other models in the same series. Users can maintain stable processor operation using a mainstream air cooler. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D is compatible with AM5 socket motherboards, including B650 and X670 chipset products.
The processor supports PCIe 5.0 interface and DDR5 memory, maintaining the same platform characteristics as the high-end models. In gaming scenarios, the large cache capacity is expected to partially mitigate the frequency differences, meaning the frame rate gap compared to higher-spec models might be smaller than the theoretical benchmark difference suggests.
The processor has not been officially released yet, but it has entered the engineering sample testing phase. The appearance of test records in the Geekbench database suggests that the product has completed preliminary validation. However, the official specifications page has not yet disclosed complete frequency parameters and pricing information.
