AMD Presents the Ryzen 7 7700X3D: 8 Zen 4 Cores and 3D V-Cache for Gaming on AM5

AMD has announced at Computex 2026 the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, a new desktop processor aimed at expanding the range of gaming CPUs based on 3D V-Cache technology. With this model, the company aims to make the X3D line more accessible on the AM5 platform while maintaining a balance between gaming performance and entry cost.

The Ryzen 7 7700X3D is part of the Ryzen 7000 family based on the Zen 4 architecture. The processor provides 8 cores and 16 threads, with a maximum boost frequency of 4.5 GHz, while the total cache reaches 104 MB thanks to the integration of 3D V-Cache technology.

According to AMD, the new processor has been designed to offer high-end gaming performance to a broader audience compared to the flagship X3D models. The stated goal is to propose a more affordable entry point to the AM5 ecosystem and proprietary gaming technologies while continuing to emphasize platform longevity.

In terms of energy, the Ryzen 7 7700X3D features a TDP of 120 watts. The availability of the Ryzen 7 7700X3D is set for July 16, 2026, with a suggested price of $329. The launch comes at a particularly important time for the AM5 platform, as AMD has confirmed socket support until 2029, continuing its multi-generational compatibility strategy previously adopted with AM4.

During Computex 2026, AMD also presented the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition, a commemorative model dedicated to the ten years of the AM4 platform, in addition to the new Radeon RX 9070 GRE based on RDNA 4 architecture.
