Description
Overview
The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a Zen 4 desktop processor for socket AM5 that brings 3D V-Cache to a 6-core, 12-thread configuration. Launched in November 2025, the chip is targeted at gamers and mainstream builders who want improved cache-sensitive performance without moving to higher‑core, higher‑cost SKUs.

- CPU cores / threads: 6 / 12
- Base / Boost clocks: 4.0 GHz / up to 4.5 GHz
- Cache: L1 384 KB, L2 6 MB, L3 96 MB (includes 3D V-Cache)
- Typical TDP: 65 W
- Socket: AM5 (desktop)
- Memory: DDR5 (supports up to 128 GB; see motherboard for supported speeds)
- PCIe: PCIe 5.0 lanes (native)

- Launch date: 12 November 2025
Who this suits
This WOF (Without Fan) retail edition suits builders who already have a suitable aftermarket cooler (air or liquid) and want the gaming benefits of AMD’s 3D V-Cache on an AM5 platform. Because the box omits a stock cooler, it allows flexibility to pair the CPU with higher‑performance cooling for sustained boost behaviour.
Compatibility & notes
- Requires an AM5 motherboard with a compatible chipset and a BIOS/firmware supporting the 7500X3D—check the motherboard vendor for BIOS updates.
- Uses DDR5 memory; motherboards that support DDR4 are not compatible with this CPU.
- Retail WOF packaging does not include a cooler or mounting hardware — purchase a compatible AM5 cooler separately and confirm TDP/cooling requirements.
- Refer to AMD’s product documentation and your motherboard maker for full compatibility and installation guidance.
