AMD's budget Ryzen 5 7500X3D leaks out in early benchmarks, scores hint at performance on par with existing 7600X3D — budget offering could pack a punch in both single and multi-core tests

AMD's rumored upcoming budget CPU, the Ryzen 5 7500X3D, has just been spotted on GeekBench with solid single-core and multi-core results that put it on par with the 7600X3D, while having the same 96 MB of L3 cache. Unfortunately, for value-conscious gamers, the price of DDR5 right now might turn you away from the cheapest X3D chip on the AM5 platform.
