AMD has just released a brand new Ryzen X3D gaming CPU with a tempting price, especially if it’s bought as part of a bundle. The new AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D is cheaper than the widely-acclaimed Ryzen 7 7800X3D, as it only has six cores and a lower clock speed, making it an ideal CPU for a budget gaming rig. There’s a really big catch, however.
That’s because this new AMD CPU is only going to be available in the US, and from one retailer, Micro Center. That’s a real shame, as there’s a solid gap in the market for an affordable Socket AM5 CPU with 3D V-Cache. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is our top pick as the best gaming CPU right now, but it costs $419 from Amazon right now, and the new Ryzen 5 7600X3D reportedly costs just $299.99.
